After over 70 years of playing and watching AFl at all sorts of levels that was without doubt the most biased and incompetent umpiring I have ever seen .

It must be embarrassing for eagles fans to claim tonight a a win.
Nah that's pretty standard for them, they actually believe they deserve it.

Meh. Saints missed a few easy shots at goal early on, should have been further in front. Then they went defensive and stopped attacking in the latter part of the game. Once the Eagles drew level they had no legs left.

Keys. Thanks for tonight. After all the pot shots those saints fans gave freo on the main board, Saits got what they deserved.
Saints thought they were as tough as Tough man tony Abbott, but they backed down. Now they are owen 2. Sadly freo will join them tomorrow.

Yep, reminds me of the Jackal "If you see Declan before you die, you tell him that he can't protect his women."

AFL edition: "If you see the Saints before you die, you tell them that they can't protect their leads."
Reminds me of the old sports adage

Q: Why can't you trust the Saints with your dog?

A: Because they can never hold onto the lead.

So all the talk again about WA bias in the Eagles umpiring! Despite it being false for Freo watch the umps to take it out on us next week.
Yup.

estibador I believe you've talked about this cycle in the past. Having said that, if I have to sit through the Weags winning an umpire-assisted match then I'm glad it's over the Saints.

Yeah, the umps will get a 'Perth bias' talking to, which will result in us getting shafted again.

And then the week after everyone's forgotten about Perth bias so the budgies get their usual rainbow ride.

Rinse, repeat.

Three of the games so far this round have had pretty big free kick differentials.

WB 31 to Syd 18
Haw 22 to Ade 11
WCE 23 to STK 8

Are some teams just cleaner? Better at drawing frees? Or are the umps biased?

Umpire bias. Especially when you look at the teams that got them.
