The umpires in the Cats v Crows game did their best to confuse the hell out of everyone.
Ottens facing two in the goalsquare is held around the waist whilst a crows player comes across in front to take the mark. He then runs to the front of the player receives a punch to the chest grabs the player and it is 50. The umpire watched the entire thing.
Ling gives away two free kicks for holding onto his opponent. Very weak but if you want to get technical (which the umpires LOOOVVVEEEEE) they were there. Disturbing thing though was the umpires were looking for it, must have received instructions to watch out for it. If that is the case then so be it. However down the other end the EXACT same thing happened to Ablett, although this time instead of the Crows giving up a free kick Ablett was told he was running too close to the man with the ball - he has to be 5 yards away. Where the f*** did this rule come from, you could pull out 20-30 times a game where a player runs around the back to the the ball. DISGRACE.
But it didnt start and stop there. Whilst in the first half I thought they were trying to rape the cats I couldnt BELIEVE how they shafted the crows in the second.
First off a Crows player is nearly decapitated by Scarlett (was it Gill) and the umpires let it go. Cmon boys PROTECT the players. There was NO way it could have been missed either.
Then the most disturbing one by far. The fact that the umpire made up some new rules with the Ablett 5 yard deal was plain wrong. But when Burton had a potential goal of the year payed against him last week he must have been thinking of making amends. In the last quarter he flew high again, was in the box seat the ball zeroed in on his big mitts when Tom Harley's fist appeared out of nowhere to affect a great spoil. Play on...no. The umpire decided that it was an unrealistic attempt. ****WIT just because the little white maggot could never get that high...disgraceful. There is no rule that says a player cannot fly for the ball and be spoiled...the umpire just made up a rule out of thin air.
Our game is in a sad sad place.
