Roast Preliminary Final Umpiring Thread

[Roosurgence]

The fact that the media has gone out of its way to highlight the disgraceful umpiring speaks volumes for me.

It was funny how they couldn't find a howler that went against West Coast?

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Most underrated bad decision of the night = the non paid mark to Gibson at half back. Lead straight to the Priddis goal. Changed the game

There were couple like that actually! Surely taking a mark isn't to hard to officiate!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Not just the decisions themselves, but the timing of them. Try to imagine how you felt when Shuey got that first free against NDS. How bout the Gibson non mark. Le Cras. Jacobs. Swallow. Then imagine how it would feel if you were on the ground, busting your gut at the time. It's farking soul sapping. And it eliminates the organic contest. Synthetic momentum. Can't do anything about it.

**** em all. Go the shinners. Can't wait for next year.

That free to Shuey was absolutely disgraceful.

It's not even a matter of putting the whistles away. That implies that they were iffy, tiggy touch wood decisions. They were blatant, old lady swinging her umbrella over the fence type shockers.

 

[keeno 111]

Absolutely dreadful umpiring.

 

[DrEvil_]

That was the most disgusting umpiring I have ever seen.
Don't believe the naysayers, this was shady as !!

Too young for 94?

I was spewing at the umps live, but if we'd continue to play like we did first quarter, the umps wouldn't have mattered.

And lets just hope we don't hear the WCE supporters whining about the umps when they lose to hawthorn next week

If your club does not make a formal complaint about the unbelievable horrific umpiring which has changed this game around , then I will be amazed , they were on toast for you the Eagles, with free kicks going insane they have caught up and with umpiring help break the backs of your players, I have never seen anything like this.

It needs investigating this is when the gamblers come to town , I am telling you the rig looks in, to me!

Lol Fremantle has put in a complaint about the prelim 1

I signed up for bigfooty 10 years before you. And no, I wasn't in diapers.

 

[SSSSSS]

You guys got ****ed. I thought we got a few dodgy ones early last night but it evened up in the second half but tonight was a one way street.

 

[nelroo]

I'm still laughing at Swallow being accosted whilst on the mark.

Baffling.. No other words for that..

 

[shinboner magic]

Why are we surprised?

It was expected.

The soft frees early in the game were the ones that changed the game.

Ahh so close and now we have to start again.

 

[SMaturin]

The Jacobs slide tackle has me awake at night, literally. I reckon a dozen times during the game I turned to my mate and said 'I don't know what to do'.

The boys do everything right and it's taken away from them by inept part timers.

 

[nelroo]

Through all the shit you cop on the Brad thread I normally really like your posting Bill but this is crap.

They turned the game. They MAY still of won but they cost is any chance of making a Grand Final. This is not round 2 it a ******* prelim.

This was 94 prelim bad. The only thing stopping me going mental is knowing we won the flag the year after that disgrace.

2 years later.

And then the holding the ball to rub it in.

Swallow on the mark.

The free to Shuey

The free to Darling

The non free to Jacobs.

 

[northman]

we still would have lost. Ben Browns in ability to hold a mark was the main reason we lost. FACT. He is a VFL player. at best.

 

[ameen_ssnp]

Umpiring was disgusting, ruined a good game, good luck in 2016

 

[Harris 10]

Swallow on the mark.

The free to Shuey

The free to Darling

The non free to Jacobs.

The free against Waite for blocking when he took the mark.

You have no idea..he was poor but not the reason we lost

Gibson non mark.

 

[SMaturin]

The Waite mark paid against him for blocking would take the cake in any other game. Well and truly in the peloton tonight.

 

[Roosurgence]

Watch the Whitsle Blower segment this week, they will show the Kennedy hold and point out that it was a wrong decision while ignoring the real howlers.

Campbell will come out and praise the umpiring this weekend because he is a bellend!

 

[northman]

You have no idea..he was poor but not the reason we lost

FACT. He takes those soda marks and converts. we win the game.
