It was Brad Hill, not sonny

 

[Superkoops]

I managed to catch a snippet of Wallace speaking on SEN yesterday and it turns out his son was one of the officiating umpires, the one who actually paid the 50m penalty against Sunny. He was trying to claim that Walters threw a sizeable clump of turf, roots soil and all, in the incident, when clearly it was 95% grass about the half the size of a matchbox.

There was definitely no dirt nor clumps thrown by BHILL- would have actually made it the kicker otherwise. Was like flicking up some grass cuttings. But whatever.

It was just a few blades of grass

TBH it's exactly the kind of s**t only Freo get pinged for.

 

[Nickos66]

Players have been throwing tufts of grass from the mark since forever without penalty. Can't let Freo get away with that s**t though.

Also reckon that 50 against Tucker would have been overlooked it was a ‘Hodgy’ or a ‘Danger’. He picked the ball back up immediately and it never delayed the game one iota.

*80 against Tucker

Two Freo games in a row on BT sports. Maybe my complaining has paid off.

Ah, so it was the tanned one’s son.

Dad’s a tosser, son hates tossers. Doesn’t help Wallace Jnr when he has a nickname of SOT.

We really have had some absolutely abysmal umpiring over the years. Is it any wonder we all think they are biased and rubbish.

That would be forever hilarious if it wasn't us.

Yeah umpires are corrupted. No question.
Nichols umpiring 2013 GF. Yep. 2 decisions that went to tribunal but he thought it was fine. Chicken wing- holding the ball to Rioli. Lake 3 week- elbowed Walters in the face. Nah go back and kick it, no 50.

Basil confirming himself as a pretty low IQ commentator.
Asked if Ross should’ve gone to Appeal Fyfe’s 1 week suspension last season... Ross said we did, and we loss.
Awkward Bazil. But expect nothing less anyway

 

[LeftFootBanana]

Basil never fails to disappoint does he. I bet Ross and Belly have a big laugh about that one.

Nichols was at the centre of the draw in Launy that was eventually overturned and we won the game. He was the muppet that allowed the player to kick a point after the siren that tied the game from memory...hated us ever since. He has gotten more unbiased more recently but still I hate seeing no 15 running around

What actually happened there?...Matty Carr was meant to get the free kick for the bump... but somehow the umpire asked ty Zantuck (not care)if he wanted the point to stand instead of another kick???

Correct. Then Josh Carr pointed out what happened and the ump said the decision's made.

Side note. Really enjoyed Ross on channel 7, don’t know why cos I usually dislike the way It goes but it seems Ross is really taking charge in a way I haven’t seen before

Ump was too much of a beta to admit he made a mistake and correct it.

Nice of Barrett to go in to bat for Steven May about having a drink while in rehab. Maybe he's right, but gee, I haven't seen many other players get that sort of support.

Currently at work and I noticed Chrome/Firefox no longer havce anti paywalls to download. Anyone know any other way around this? Incredibly bored at work and need my footy fix!

Not a single media personality would ever defend Harley in this situation. A year ago he was grilled for having a drink at a WAFL game......such double standards.

The reaction from him and that Sam whatever his name is when we were chasing Hogan have turned me against them both for life.
