WOW. I didn't realise that a player was allowed to get caught in a tackle and just drop the ball. Seriosly, you've got no idea. It was a clear-cut holding the ball decision that was allowed to go.
AFL = corrupt.
LMAO at the umpiring in Sydney V Carlton

Re: Carlton Vs Sydney - Umpiring
What has this got to do with the OP stating tht he is "getting in early", sook?
Two started by neutrals. The umpiring has been ridiculous.

Agreed, loving the game so far. Haven't noticed the umpires at all besides the obvious interchange debacle, which was correctly reversed.

I'm not sure it is, came from a Richmond supporter
Lol okay then.
Lemming.
Re: The AFL is corrupt. Full stop.
This could be the last game of AFL I watch. These blokes must surely have been on the Paki cricket team at some point ...

Besides the Waite incident, what has stood out to you then? This has been an awesome game to watch so far.Time to visit OPSM mate.
Or have you just put the blinkers on?

The game is being played at ANZ stadium because it hold more people, and its sydney's home game so they deserve to have the advantge because they finished higher on the ladder.

inb4 2 neutrals make thread saying the umpiring has been fair.

I reckon this is the first time a Victorian team has got a raw deal against an interstate team.
As a supporter of a non-Victorian team, you get used to bad officiating. Dont complain, the umpiring of Cousins retirement game last week was far worse

I love watching Carlton supporters having a sook. They definetley couldn't be losing because Sydney are playing better, no chance.
One sided game between a more talented well coached team and a less talented poorly coached team.
The result is expected and the umpires influence has been meaningless.
Carlton fans (and Stevie K) need to accept that their boys club is failing.

Except this is a Finals game FFS and an elimination game.
The Jetta goal summed it up perfectly. One Sydney player beats two Blues because he wanted it more and Jetta gets the gift goal. But nah, it's the umpires fault. lol

Re: The AFL is corrupt. Full stop.
regarding the corruption: sorry I dont give a toss about carlton etc.
Why would the AFL decide to give 2 out of the 4 teams that were going to finish bottom half of the eight an extra days rest than the other two! That was the whole point of not confirming dates for rd22, so they could get evan breaks between last round and finals for the competing teams. But they chose to give Freo a massive advantage by giving them a very rare friday night fixture at home and therefor comprimising the integrity of the whole competition. Why not play Hawks game and Swans game all on the friday or all on the saturday. As it turned out Freo got an extra days rest, and didnt have to travel either, and so the AFL rewarded this club when it had blatantly tanked against the hawks evan more. Surely if anything they didnt need a bigger rest after their Launceston debacle where they played their WAFL team and the AFL should have punished them if anything but because of its vested interest, they turn a blind eye and also give them the fri night game! Of course they need the Dockers to succeed as WC is worse than s**t and the umpiring in the second half was further proof of their obvious rig.

the umpiring has been ordinary all year. too many decisions are made that are not in the spirit of the game. one soft one is paid, then another blatant one missed. umpire (mis)interpretation is too common.
haven't seen too much wrong with the sydney/blues game. one or two dodgy decisions but when things are going wrong for carlton i am always happy

It's on the AFL's agenda to make sure Sydney is successful particularly with a new team entering their market in 2 years.
carlton should take the umpires and afl to court after this game. clearly we're the better side. probably the only thing between us and a premiership is the weekly umpire rape of our side. naturally other team supporters deny this.
