QUEENS BIRTHDAY UMPIRING WOW

[Darkyprotector]

Cannot believe what I am being forced to watch, how can a team come back so quickly , today we have seen such inconsistencies arm chops , high, crippling the mark and that is only the last quarter.
Deliberates paid then not , momentum changing decisions
Collingwood controlled this game then the umpires changed adjudication a
As I watch another dodgy holding the ball in a attempt to GIVE the DEES the game, am I the only one seeing this,
Surely someone's on the take

Fantastic umpiring. Better team won.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

The only one I had a problem with is the one paid against Sidebottom on the boundary line when he was tackled by 2 Demons. He handballed it, there's no way the umpire could see it, he just guessed.

It was at a very critical point. Dees might have ended up with goal as a result.

 

[GuzzLG]

Good booking by the Australian Football Entertainment writers. They've got my money for the next PPV.

 

[DrummoSolo]

Poor umpiring both ways all day.

 

[HawkMongrel]

This sport is cooked.

 

[The Swert]

Need more coaches to come out and say it like Clarko.

Fines won't work if they all do it.

Eddie should complain tmoz.

Diabolical the decisions that were going Melbourne's way this arvo. Especially the holding the ball calls.

 

[La Vache]

Couldn't fault them. Some courageous decisions at the end. Hopefully a step in the right direction in an inconsistent season for the umps. I think they turned a corner today.

All credit to the dees

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Technical frees/50s have destroyed the game

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Was disgraceful. Probably a directive from the AFL to get the Dees across the line on their big day.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

3 goals 4 to 0.0 from direct free kicks says it all

Honestly would have preffered a throw in. Our kicks long down the line were turnovers all day.

Fantastic umpiring. Better team won.

Ozzy Osbourne could have done a better job than the crap dished up today - if the AFL was a listed company they would be facing a class action - take a look at the last quarter - enough to hear the ghost of Jack Dyer say - if you don't mind umpire 8 times!!

Totally agree - the game is in crisis - the umpires shouldn't determine the outcome of games the players should.

The players did determine the outcome.

Darcy Moore dropped absolute sitters in front of goal all day and when the game was in the balance Adam Treloar absolutely burnt a wide open Levi Greenwood about 25m out directly front to screw it up himself.

The game is not in crisis.

You led by 5 goals, couldn't hold on.

There were 7 other 50/50 decisions in the last quarter that went the way of the Deamons, including the terrible decision against Levi Greenwood with 2.35 to play - shame AFL shame.

Ozzie Osbourne could have done a better job than the umpires today - if the AFL was a public company the directors would be facing a class action.

All credit to the dees

Check out the last quarter with 2.38 to go - Jayden Hunt shoves the ball into Levi Greenwood's groin and the umpire calls it holding the ball against Greenwood - pathetic decision #4 for the quarter against the Pies. Great game destroyed by seriously poor decisions. The commentators on Foxtel called it a "little unfair" because they are under contract not to criticise the umpires from the AFL - it's like living in the Soviet Union!

 

[Scott2clarkson]

Wasn't the umpiring mate. It was more the players doing the undisciplined stuff.

How much idiocy can one poster fit into one post.

Dived on it and made no attempt. Textbook htb and has been for decades.

The Demons were 5 goals behind and won by 4 points with 4 of their goals kick d from free kicks within 40m from their goals. How many did the Pies have in front of goal?

Ok was very dubious call, there were plenty of times that pies tackled Demons and no call, think that's the frustrating thing

Seemed very one sided today and the Dream Ons should consider themselves very fortunate
