We were beaten by a better side today

But **** me the umpiring was a joke. First that horrible center bounce which resulted in a Wea-girl goal, the 50m penalty against Bock which resulted in a Eagles goal and that stupid free to Stenglein in the last 20 seconds which resulted in a Coasters goal and soon their margin is down to a chilly -2 points:mad:

Who here can bounce a ball better than umpire Darren Goldspink?
 
Yeah I thought they got the better end of it, there was one about 10m out with 10mins to go when someone got rid of it illegally and Burton had a shot and kicked it out on the full.

In the end they were the better team. 30 shots to 20, probably could have pantsed us by a lot more.

The bounce that wasnt recalled, the 50 meter penalty that Basset SHOULD have gotten (when some westcoast **** ran off, handballed THEN that dude kicked it away but still not 50 even after the pi$$ poor 50 WC got off Bock), the free kick to Burton that SHOULD have happened (holding on, over the shoulder AND push in the back) and just ****ful umpiring after half time.

We didnt lose to a better side, we owned them in the first half. The second half we started sluggish but the bull**** calls the umpired made were what screwed us over. Had nothing to do with the "better side on the day" - WE were the better side and the umpiring let us down something fierce. The BS is the papers about the "home game advantage" influencing umpires did nothing but make the umpires compensate the other way... I hope west coast get arse r*ped by Sydney... AGAIN!!!!

P.S Well done to the crow boys though, they played an excellent game but had some severe bad luck and bad calls. Their tackling could have been better but none the less, Good Game, we deserved the win.
 
There was a couple of fortunate West Coast goals....Not dead give aways, but frees (not really there, or frees that should've been paid to Adelaide, espiecally the second last goal to WC) that resulted in goals...it happens, but with so much riding on the result it feels 100 times worse, you were definately good enough to win...

As for goldspink....shouldn't even be an AFL umpire...dumb ass ump....f*ked us up in 2001 the pr*k, I feel sorry for you that he umpired that game...

Thought Goldspink had a pretty good game today. I'vbe been a critic but he's been the best during the finals and deserves a grand final appointment....The centre bounce should have been recalled, the 50 metre penalty was correct and so was the Stenglein free....although possibly a bit technical.

Even if these decisions were 'technically' correct they were completely inconsistant. 50 m for going over the mark without a warning to come back but then WC have 2 possesions after a Crows free kick is paid and we get gorschnit.

Yes you may have had the worse end of decisions but it wasn't the difference in the game. Look at the scoring shots and look at the way Cousins, Judd and Kerr just kept pushing. All of them champions and too good for your blue collar midfield today. Give them some credit. Your blokes put in a great effort but weren't quite as good as the other mob
 
Watching the last bounce, I can't understand on the replay, how in the*uck Stenglein got a free kick. Oh well, we had our chance and wasted it. :(

:confused: I said we were beaten by a better side.

My attitude is that the umpiring was poor today. Did you read my post or just say what you want to say?

i REFUSE to accept we are bad losers for complaining about poor umpiring when it was clear to me the inconsistant umpiring cost us the match today. Don't talk about how many shots they had to ours... that means diddly squat. What you have to assess is the IMPACT the decisions that WEREN'T made had on this game. There were AT LEAST 4 free kicks that SHOULD have been paid to Adelaide in the forward 50 that weren't. Up the other end, on the other hand, the frees WERE paid. Had the frees been paid to us that WERE THERE - the momentum in the game changes and quite probably the outcome.

VERY disappointed by the umpires today. VERY:thumbsd:
 
Just remembered another absolutely incredolous decision by the umps. Does anyone else recall seeing Porplyzia spoil Butler (i think) and then give away a free for illegal contact when he hit nothing but ball. The umpires were a bit whistle happy at some stages.

Another mystifying decision.
 
was upset with the bad umpiring today. Extremely dissappointed with the throw by one of the WC players, in front of the goals that was not picked up.

Im dissappointed because obviously the umps cant see everything but whent they see it once and then not again it is upsetting.

Was baffled with th ebounce. Only a few weeks ago they were re-bouncing it.


And I know that u cant blame the umps (even though it feels good) but just from playing netty, I know that when a few decisions go agst u it can really make u feel down. And I have no patience for any umpires and blow my hat off on court and thats country netball! I could not stay calm playin AFL!!!!.
:)
 
First half I thought the Eagles copped the bad end of the stick yet it was the complete opposite in the first half.
That last tackle on Stenglein with 19 seconds to go was dodgy, it would of been hilarious to see the Crows to snatch it with a late goal and the repercussions of the Lynch goal.
