Because a large part of that bad officiating is on the shoulders of the governing actively trying to change the way the game is presented every few years.

We give players time to adjust to being a new club and a new system but umpires have their systems changed every season.

100% agree Edgie. The clowns currently running the game are messing with the fabric of the game and nobody wants it. They're putting the umpires in an impossible position. They're having to implement different interpretations of the rules that nobody asked for

How are these ******* morons peddling that Pendles was booed, **** off. You are completely missing the point.
You maintain silence during The Last Post and you do not boo the best on ground medal recipient as he collects the award when he did nothing to deserve it. Was poor form by the crowd and Bucks was entitled to say what he did. That's all that needs to be said about it though, as in the scheme of things its a non-event.

I've seen far worse umpiring & Essendon lost that game through poor disposal in the last quarter.
Poor disposal, poor decision making, just poor all round.

A more composed team would have put Collingwood to the sword.

You're all ******* high on god knows what if you don't think we wouldn't of boo'd if we were in Essendons shoes.
Take the ******* glasses off.
We were in their shoes last year and we did boo. And I'd do it again. **** Selwood the cheating campaigner.
