We've all heard the excuses from Hawthorn supporters in the past, about the conspiracy theory that the Umpires have it in for them. Will we see a thread this week from the Hawks fans thanking the Umpires for their help against West Coast?

Good on the Hawks for getting their 2nd win for the year, shame it wasn't earned.

Franklin should of got a free for the push in the back when play stopped around the second/third quarter.

Just take a bite
Maybe Jeff Kennet can give a nice speech?
Those red maggots did confirm that playing a tough game of footy in the wet is now well and truly a thing of the past though.

Agreed. Throughout the game there was an inconsistency there.

Yep only the 1 more free kick to the opposition this week....Any Hawk supporter would thank the ump's for allowing us to get that close.

I was thinking more the free against Cox that they imagined as he was about to throw the footy on the boot and snap for goal. Or the one to Franklin against Glass to basically kill off the contest that was also imaginary, amongst others...

So when Kennett whinges about the umps, the umps come out and win the Hawks the game, but when Eddie has a whinge the umps come out and screw the Pies.

Just another bullsh*t Hawthorn troll started by an embittered Cat.

Franklin is finally getting the treatment he deserves from the umps. He's still meh though.
Drilled Priddis into the ground for 3 seconds after he had marked it. That was one of the best decisions all day.
Glass put his arms in the air to show that they were NOWHERE near Franklin's back.
Glass should've just walked off the ground. It must be almost impossible to be a backman nowadays.
20 of the last 22 games more frees against us than for.
Yeah, we suck it up hard?
Toss pots, check your stats??

It is not the ones they pay, it is the ones that miss.
It is the inconsistency of their interpretation.
Honestly, the umpiring was not that bad, just inconsistent.

Oh man. Not that it really matters but watch that incident again and try not to be biased.

Not at all, I was enjoying the contest, it was a good hard fought game but the Umpires handed it to the Hawks on a silver platter in the last quarter. If I was going to troll the Hawks I wouldn't start a thread about Umpires.

No, I think you're confusing umpires with Luke Hodge. It is the latter that lost you that game.

Look up the frees AGAINST and report back to us.

The frees count means nothing. It's whether they were correct or not that matters.

So did you watch the game from an unbiased my teams not involved point of view?
Judging by your signature Rockford I doubt it
