you are in the majority of sensible people.

Disappointing to hear Carlton fans booing even obviously correct decisions. I assume the bandwagon person who have no idea are coming out of the woodwork.

To quote the renowned William Spooner: North Supporters are the shining wits of the AFL.

Sadly Jack Cuffe, who played a few games for North in the early 1950's passed away on Tuesday. Jack, later, coached Glenroy into EDFL finals. One of the nicest guys you would ever meet.

Nice of the Board of Cricket Australia to send two Victorian umpires down to Hobart for the match. I regard Vic umpires as the worst in Australia and the George Bailey decision does nothing to change that view.

As soon as I saw the umpire appointments I put some money on Hawthorn.

Jeff Rees, where are you?

" The whole grandstand was counting. I was tallying the IQ of the whole grandstand. Didn't take long.

Your knowledge of football is inversely proportional to your arrogance.

Just asking. Does anyone know why the Bulldogs were wearing black armbands today?

It's up to the AFL to clarify this point.

This was a great game and the umpires overall helped to make it a great spectacle. Congrats to both teams and the umpires.

The Brady Grey error received little attention because the commentators were so biased in Richmond's favour.

Brad Scott and North received a heavy fine when Scott wrongly stated that an umpire had said that Lindsay Thomas was not getting any frees. The reason for the outrageous fine was that to suggest umpires target individual players challenged the integrity of the umpires. On Friday night an umpire...

He was certainly at Haileybury for years 10 to 12

If the players strike, they have breached their contracts. Offer them a new contract 10-15 percent lower. The amount will still be way above the amount 95 percent of them could earn outside football.

Given that Hawthorn have been gifted so many games in recent times, it is not surprising that the posts in support of disgraceful umpiring come predominantly from Hawthorn supporters. Their views on umpiring are irrelevant.

Umpire's boss has conceded that the Hanneberry decision was wrong. Commentators everywhere admit that the Bulldogs got the rub of the green. Sad thing is the Bulldogs would have won anyway and deserved their victory. The disgraceful umpiring took a bit of the gloss off the premiership. Is it...

Either you are blind or don't understand the rule.

Even on this thread Hawthorn supporters continue to show their grubbiness.

I have just seen the umpiring appointments for the game. Match over.

Was an umpire(number 13) replaced during the Gold Coast/ Essendon game? If so, does anyone know what happened to him?

Jack Gunston, Tom Lynch (Adelaide) Stefan Martin, Ty Vickery, Tom Scully, Tory Dickson, Alex Silvagni, Karl Amon, Angus Brayshaw, Jack Hutchins, James Magner, Kyle Martin, Jarred Moore, Dylan Smith, Ash Smith, Sam Sheldon. I think I have missed a couple.

Investigations into umpires or referees in tennis, cricket and soccer have resulted in officials being sacked for corruption. Just saying.

The over-reaction to Brad Scott's admittedly silly comment. And the report of Jamar for verbal abuse are a symptomatic of a poor umpires panel. The current crop are over-protected, over-paid, over pedantic and over-precious.

The four umpires concept was a massive failure. One of the worst umpired rounds in recent years. Didn't alter any results but total inconsistency on deliberate and prior opportunity.

Good to see Sydney supporters give Roughie a warm round of applause. As usual Hawks supporters show their class booing Franklin.

Thanks.

I have clearly missed something. Is Toby Greene injured?
