Terrible call. I accept their blocked view reason but they only have themselves to blame for not positioning themselves to see. There's 3 of the peanuts.

As for Luke Ball.... Complete rubbish. He took 3 steps, that's prior Luke you idiot. Holding the ball 100% of the time. To say otherwise is moronic. Is he the ump apologists is he? Does he give the umps massages after the game as well?

Yep. took 3 steps and had a chance to handball over to a teammate. Easily had prior opportunity.
 
The umpires made a lot of mistakes. It is the timing that is the problem here. Highlighting them all "blind sighted" makes it even more of a problem, however they were blind sighted several times. While watching the game, the centre bounce umpire had the other central umpire BEHIND him after a bounce - they are both on one side of the play. They did that several times. They only see 180 degrees of the play. They should have been on opposite sides. Basic communication.

The Edward's non free didn't decide the game, but it swung momentum and was a 12 point play. If it happened in the first 7 minutes, it would be just another blunder - but they made several. The "chopping the arms" frees were paid to one side. Jack was manhandled several times. But that may have happened to Petrie or others. But the umpires were red hot on Nahas / Chaplin - and so they should have been. But to miss the Edward's free was inexcusable.

I'm just glad that the press picked up on it so the moron umpires can go back to officiating Auskick games.

I mentioned this on the game day thread - EVERY other aspect of our sport is professional EXCEPT umpires. This needs to change.
 
Luke Ball is a ****. We'll never know if it cost us the win. But what it did do. It virtually took away the chance for us too win we would have only been a point on front. But it would have been our 3rd goal in a row with momentum fully swinging our way. Still makes me mad
 
That decision and chaplin handing ex tiger Nahas a goal probably cost us a goal on the rebound and the game. 2 terrible mistakes. Jesus farken Christ lol

My heart sank that moment. Huge error. If you can't find a team mate in defence kick it long down to the wing. Unfortunately much of the defence were like a deer in headlights.

Done, just tweeted it.
 
We got lucky with a few decisions. That Edwards 50m was bullshit. Neither Edwards or the player on the mark thought it went 15m and they both went to play on. The first time the umpire blew the whistle was to pay 50m and not to pay the mark. I recall another one on the wing where Lambert had the ball and a North player had hold of his arm in an attempt to tackle him and the umpire paid a free kick to Lambert for "holding the arm".

I hope the club cops the loss on the chin and doesn't dwell on what could've been. We were outplayed and deserved to lose.

The reality is we shat the bed pretty much all day. That decision was just the final nail in the coffin.

We didn't deserve to win.
