Has anybody not noticed yet that the best and most thrilling finals games are always when the umpires stay out of it and put the whistle away. I understand it doesn't help with the supporters from the two Adelaide teams because it facilitates their narrative and continual crying about cheating...

If Maynard goes, Christian should too.

Yeah Doggies got no favours last night. Still Ild rather get sucked off in a Grand Final. Let's be honest this dogs/umpires bullshit all grew from that farcical grand final umpiring. Other than that it's a load of s**t just like the bs hawthorn free kick nonsense. Facts are interstate teams...

Never seen a grand final with such lop sided bs umpiring because the umpires got caught up in the fairytale and media hype. not sure how that makes me a sheep. Swans were ****ed hard. If it happened to your mob in a grand final you would be pissed and understandably so. Don't even understand...

mehhh 2016 worst umpired grand final ever

yeah fair enough. just that dumb *ing decision both players desperate in final minutes of a tight game both players with eyes on the ball and there is little bit of contact so he thinks he has to blow his *ing whistle and destroy the game for all us watching. it was clearly play on... so *ing...

it was bullshit. don't defend it because your team got it. just don't want to see that s**t. and yeah tackle around the ankles was too.

That too high free right in front of goal in the last when game is in the balance two players collided both going for the ball. Absolutely *ing pathetic. Umpires can just ruin games like that.

Cant believe the AFL can't even say yeah it was a bad call.

Both were s**t. Can't believe some people are defending the umpire, saying s**t like afl rule etc. Good umpires have a feel for the game and use discretion, making them good at what they do. Just like good cops and good teachers. Could be 30 seconds of worst umpiring ever. And its not about...

load of s**t

Yep best round of football for the year... becuase the umpires umpired it like it was finals... making the contest so good. Let's pray they keep it this way and stop with the s**t 50m penalties and ticky touch garbage.

We all sit here and s**t on the umpires, myself included. I may be wrong and you may disagree but I feel like at the moment the game has become a far better spectacle than it was the first part of the season. They are letting it go more, there is less ticky touch bullshit... players are are...

yeah it spilled out and Melbourne got it...but definately no whistle or advantage given... no call..play on what about when Pickett ran down someone in the middle after a great chase.. another clear holding the ball.. no call..ball up but they were paying holding the ball for dogs constantly.

agree when he was tackled for eternity with one hand pinned and the ball just drooped out of the other hand. play on. most obvious htb you will ever see. no one said a thing.

im not sure if you are serious.. u can not compare this to a king hit he did everything right ... tucked his arm in ... but just got him high with his shoulder and I think his feet left the ground. its head high bump, behind the play so he has to go. He's a good, fair player but he chose to...

Its complete s**t and these maggot umpires need to put their whistles away

Who would be brave enough to do that?

Why do the umpires cheat at Adelaide Oval so much?

lol...that is just pure *ing s**t. Just destroying the game. Unwatchable.

I don't necessarily think it's just the Bulldogs that get this treatment...every team gets sucked off here and there .... for example Adelaide always get a good run in Adelaide etc etc People just focus on the Dogs because of that Grand Final. Ever since then they have been under the...

nahhh u see it quite a bit in regular games. You just won't ever see it in a Grand Final ever again. Grand Final's are always umpired well and fair... 2016 was the exception.

Definitely brought back memories of the 2016 Grand Final corruption.
