You're exactly right, but that just proves you're defending your club rather than taking it from an objective approach. You have no valid opinion on the matter since you have supporter bias.

Well after reading some of this thread, I watched the replay to have a look at this disgusting , pathetic, ump adored team.
Couldn't find that team. Just saw a hard working team, not playing their best football but still able to win. Probably should have won by a few goals without the 2.8 in the 3rd.
Still playing clever, pleasant and daring football up the middle.
Specsavers for you lads!

Too bad no-one bothers to question the adjudications that went against Geelong. Because, of course, Geelong won anyway, so what's the point?
Thats funny, because when i watched, i saw a bunch of knee dropping, head high free drawing rats, that pleaded, begged and argued with the umpire about every single decision given against them. This team is different from the universally liked premiership teams, this team has followed the captain down the ducking path and now you are a farce. Duckwood will only be regarded by Geelong fans and media cheer leaders, as the rest know as soon as he feels contact, down with the knees for another head high free at the expense of the game.

As I have said in other threads, where and when you get the free kicks makes a massive difference. You can get mountains of free kicks on the wings, deep in the defensive pocket... but if you get them at stoppages in the corridor giving you a clearance or you get them in front of goal giving you a shot on goal then those free kicks are worth a whole lot more, when you look at who at Geelong gets the vast majority of the free kicks you realise how damaging giving them unwarranted free kicks become.

Of course dear.
That's fine. They may have coughed up a goal, they may not have coughed up a goal. They may have rebounded and scored another themselves. Whatever the alternative, it would have been far better than having the result of an otherwise hard fought game decided by such a pathetic decision. It's not that Carlton were robbed, but that the contest itself was robbed. The deciding factor should have been player driven, not umpire driven.

How is it Geelong's fault that the umpire made an error? If that free went your way and Carlton sealed the game with a goal then you'd be celebrating your victory and would be calling us bad sports for pointing out the umpires error. These kind of things have been a part of footy since it began, even your coach conceded that in his press conference. Sometimes they fall your way, sometimes they don't. But a game is never lost (or won) on one kick at goal alone. Your team had it's chances, as did ours in that last quarter. I'll concede that Carlton deserved to win that game, but that's life. We don't always get what we deserve. It's not like you were ever going to make the eight or something.
There were a hell of a lot of positives Carlton can take from that game. The result means nothing to you guys at this stage of the season. Why not take pride in how your boys fought out that game, rather than obsess and be bitter over something you can't change
I though all frees against Geelong were wrong? The way the players carry on, anyone would think it. Hawkins and Duckwood being the worst of them.

Carlton supporters have been like this for as long as I can remember.
e.g.Pretty early in the game last night they were booing GHS or someone 'pure' like that who had the audacity to take an uncontested mark and hit another target.
Absolute crackers they are.

Of course it might be just the 'poor people' from Carlton who are grumpy because they had to walk to the game.

Meh, I think Carlton could find 20 self-inflicted reasons they lost tonight, but let's not pretend you guys haven't had an extremely good run with officiating over the past 3-4 weeks.
Who are the trolls? Those who blame the umpires and Geelong despite the face Geelong won fair and square? Or those who believe Selwood doesn't duck his head even though it is a well established fact?
Just like the Gaza conflict both sides have their glaring downfalls and no one wins.

Thread well and truly over since it appears we are now discussing the umpiring ad nauseum.
