Essendon their own worst enemy shocking by foot around the ground.

Umpiring overall this year has been terrible, I reckon I counted about eight missed HTB calls

 

[Doctor Feel]

Of the games this week the umpiring has been frightful. I'm so ****ing scared for tomorrow.

 

[Ports1870]

Great match ruined by Shit umpiring

 

[Vic_Vinegar]

The standard of umpiring in a billion dollar industry is a disgrace

 

[Schulzenfest]

Yes I agree with your McDonald-Tipungwuti point. However I think the AFL messed up the club penalties.

The fact that the club and player penalties were off set essentially meant Essendon traded stripped draft picks in 2013 for the 2016 number 1 pick.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the player suspension was all “long term pain.” They have been pretty successful with recruiting lately, likely borne from 2nd order effects of the salary cap relief drawn through having a team suspended for a year.

Bombers likely came out on par or ahead on the the field.... in say that though, they still cheated.

Oh definitely. If we're talking about McGrath being a reward for cheating I'd 100% agree. Not Tippa though.

Of the games this week the umpiring has been frightful. I'm so ******* scared for tomorrow.

38-13 incoming.

It is OK to throw the ball one handed now a days. Must have missed that rule change. Absolutely shocking decision by the umps.

 

[Magus]

Umpiring has been beyond bad this year.

 

[ozph1870]

**** I can't wait until next Friday night...

 

[RossFC]

I wonder if people will pop up and say Essendon fans booing is "Disrespectful to the ANZACs"

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Glad Collingwood won gloating Bomber fans are ugly as all ****.

 

[gtrxuone]

Essendon can think themselves a bit unlucky.On the wrong end of most 50\50 decisions.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The boos are still going
Fans have had enough

 

[Schulzenfest]

Umpiring has been beyond bad this year.

Sometimes it is hard to blame them though. Gil, Hocking and co have introduced so many interpretations and grey areas and rules that contradict other rules into the game that it's impossible to umpire consistently.

 

[Doctor Feel]

This booing is about umpiring and nothing else

 

[Del80659]

lmao the AFL would be mad with all this booing

 

[RossFC]

I wonder if there will be outrage like last year when that ducker got a medal for Geelong and was booed.

 

[manureid]

We will get reamed tomorrow and it is due to total incompetence. How can a sport be so badly officiated and the governing body go all 'nothing to see here'.

 

[tangolikelama]

Probably the best result for us. Pies won't come out breathing fire and had to give it their all.

 

[CharlieKelly]

It's well beyond time for full time professional umpires

 

[Ports1870]

Hahahaha this crowd is mental

 

[Long live PAFC]

Need to get dedicated, full time umpires.

 

[Byrons Firen]

lol, umpire **** up just won it for collingwood. how fitting.

It's the natural order of 'all things' AFL. The umps insist/demand that they insert themselves.
Epic struggle between C/wood and Essendon decided not by C/wood or Essendon.

 

[ozph1870]

Booooooooo campaigners booooo
