AFL 2019 Round 2: Sydney v Adelaide, 7:50pm AEDT SCG

[The Airing of Grievances]

Can't recall seeing a Swans side tackle as poorly as in this game for many a day.

 

[SSSSSS]

0-2 is a write off. The Buddy experiment fails once again.

 

[Blind Turn]

Wow, goes to show that the umps can kill a game with their ineptitude. Everyone tries to tiptoe around the very obvious fact that substandard umpiring is bringing the game down.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Mackay! Shout out to all the crows fans that stick pins in their David Mackay voodoo dolls lols

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Adelaide have just managed to be less shit tonight

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Swans getting hosed by umpires all night. Has probably been worth 3-4 goals nett

Home many away teams have been screwed over there? Sawns coping a taste of their own medicine.

 

[WCE fan22]

Probably shouldn’t go to any of the players. They’ve all been shite

But in fairness most have been better than the umps

 

[RUNVS]

Sydney are such a shit team to watch. A few moments of brilliance from Buddy just glosses over how dire they play.

Longmire is the worst coach in the league. He has such a defensive gameplan and refuses to change no matter what.

 

[Greggy]

No one can say the umpires don’t influence games, the non decision to Reid in Sydney’s goal square has destroyed all their momentum.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Basic skill errors have cost Sydney way more than the umps, should have marked that easily in the goal square.

 

[PowerBaz]

All I remember was Tex flapping his arms around like Gumby like he’s been shot in the first! ‘Free kick’

Who's tiptoeing? 66% of this thread is umpiring criticisms.
Or do you mean the commentary/media lack of criticism? If so I agree.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Longmire is the worst coach in the league. He has such a defensive gameplan and refuses to change no matter what.

Time for a new coach imo.

The idea of an AFL conspiracy against a Sydney team seems a bit far fetched

 

[davis_756]

Nah, there is one who won't

The old school head in the sand umpires are irrelevant attitude is the reason we still have to put up with them influencing results. If more people were willing to have a crack at them and hold them accountable for their poor efforts you can bet we would be seeing some improvement.

 

[The Joker]

You dove on it Buddy you idiot!

 

[Masher]

Buddy has a marines hair cut

 

[legend166]

Like I know we suck and usually the umpiring doesn't impact as much as people say but tonight is one of those games that had absolutely been influenced by shocking umpiring.

Just blatant, terrible decisions at crucial times.

 

[Mister B]

Clear hold. Direct line of sight. Ignored.

 

[Caj]

Lol you are clueless

We’ve had a negative free kick differential for years, home or away

 

[Rob]

lol.....umps trolling buddy now

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

This is farcical.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Longmire is the worst coach in the league. He has such a defensive gameplan and refuses to change no matter what.

It's got him to 3 grand finals this decade - it's workign a bit.

Buddy gonna flip his lid soon. This is like the early hawthorn days.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Umpires could actually be accused of cheating here but mellican, oriordan and clarke are very limited.

Mate you need to watch more football, crows and Gillan... Christ what a shambles.
