Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 10 - Crows v Saints Sat May 21st 7:30pm EST (AO)

[staffonly]

As one sided umpiring that you’ll see. Almost call it cheating.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Crows best skill tonight was ducking.

Might have been a world record for high tackle free kicks.

 

[Plugger35]

A moral victory for the ages, the umpires did everything they could to help out the Crows and the Saints still prevailed.

Write us off at your peril.

 

[Username22]

Of course no Victorian club ever gets the benefit of more frees when playing in Melbourne against an interstate club.

Oh boohoo
You all wanted in the vfl and now you complain

 

[PCORF]

Look at all the pathetic Crows supporters leaving. Absolutely terrible member base.

Good win Saints against 25 on the ground. Team to watch

Yep, some of us are terrible supporters for sure but I would have stayed to the end.

Better effort this week (against a side that may possibly finish in the top 4 this year), but the composure in front of goal was awful and in the 4th quarter the meltdown was always coming. Adelaide can only blame themselves tonight.

Trip to Geelong next weekend is going to be fun that is for sure!

It seems that the umpires favour the home sides. If the game was in Melbourne the free kick count may have been on the other hand. You got the win at the expense of Adelaide's poor composure, take it and get more wins.

Thats not being a scumbag thug tho izit

Is that like how Walker got beaten in the 1st quarter and just dropped the knee into the guy who marked the ball on the ground when he came running in out of the contest? That’s thuggery

Welcome to the 'beating the Crows in Adelaide after a heavy free kick count to the home side' club. It doesn't give you much credit unfortunately.

Beating the dogs in Ballarat after a heavy free kick count to the home side club is pretty good though.

Maybe you should leave the Losing a home game to a SA side because we sold it to North QLD but never learned how to play in the conditions club.

 

[tim_saints]

The most unbelievable umpiring performance I have ever watched, add to that away from home and playing like crap, grabbing the 4 points felt fantastic because it honestly felt like we were playing two teams the whole night.

Saints lose that game the last few years, maturing group, love to see it.

 

[Rooster 24]

Either the game is too hard to adjudicate, the umpires were completely inept or they were on the take. Crows players continually ramming their heads into oncoming traffic and being rewarded for doing so defies logic. No question the saints were lucky to win but deserve some credit for overcoming such appalling officiating.

Crows now sit comfortably in the sewer with north WC and *

Saints only need 20 minutes to take apart that joke of a team.
Umpires kept it close but the Saints absolute champ Max King

destroyed them.

8.2 in the 4th. Teams need to get fit to go with us in the second half. Nobody in the league can, certainly a nothing Adelaide team can't.

If any club knows what it is like to live in the sewer for years and years it is Carlton.

And it was a crows man that massively helped turn the tide.
Young Reid is revered at Carlton.
His huge contribution played no small part in the rise currently unfolding

Some of those head high frees were diabolical. Those umpires really need to be held accountable for the bad decisions and publicly shamed.. the free against Brad Hill on Jimmy Rowe in the last q was the worst. Rowe literally deliberately head butted Hill. But he'll get away with it, nobody even knows his name, back again next week to deliver more tosh in another game. A protected species.

I honestly reckon we were pinged for head-high tackles about 20 times for the match and we only laid 41 tackles, so about one in every two tackles we laid resulted in a free against!

The umpiring at the moment is the pits.

Actually no. Have a look at AFLTables. Docklands for years has been fairly even. Even Football Park near the end. But ever since the move to Adelaide Oval, the free kick differential has been massively in Adelaide’s favour.

If it’s even at Docklands during the same period as it’s in favour heavily to Adelaide, that isn’t an undisciplined team. It’s bias.
