Umpiring in Geelong Cats v West Coast Eagles

[ep2018]

Scary as you know the umps will level the ledger for the cats in the second half. I hope we can keep it going.

 

[EagleMan87]

Delusional. Umpires stepped up for your team like usual.

We've had f-all umpiring help this year, I think they saw us rolling over and decided they didn't want a blowout.

Something's rotten when the free kick differential over the past 15 years reads:

WCE +919
North +472
Carl +322

How can WCE get so many more free for than every other team?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I feel like maybe my opinion might not be taken 100% seriously here, but is it just me or did the umpires really paying frees in one direction in that second quarter?

 

[Gameova_]

When the commentators start commenting on the whistle being put away it's polite way of saying the umpires have no ******* idea what they are doing

The commentators have no idea regardless.

Stop trying to cheat and stop sooking when your called out for it.

This game is on solely due to the umpires. absolute crap

Cats fans. I'm so sorry that the umpires are taking it away from you. I'm happy to see your captain is thinking team first and heading straight over to talk to the umps.


If you lose, you're all welcome over on the Hawks board we're we'll be holding a small ceremony (regardless of the result) acknowledging you as the best team in the competition.

Wow umps having to really dig deep to get WC back into it.
All started when McGovern flung himself forward like a diver. Floodgates opened on the WC frees.

Pretty hilarious stuff to see Selwood having a whinge though. The greatest exponent of winning free kicks in modern times getting a lesson from WC.

Has anyone mentioned the free kick count yet? It's very important, you should look at it before the third quarter starts.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

1 or 2 of the frees have been soft, but the majority have come from complete lack of discipline from the Cats players.

The tackling especially has been very sloppy and they keep letting the Eagles off the hook.

Lol...it's the 16th year in a row with a positive differential between frees for and frees against.

It's the colour blue

******* cheating campaigners

Hi Chris, didn't know you browsed bigfooty while in the coaching box.

That bs free kick for blocking for an eagles gift goal aside....

At one stage it seemed blatantly obvious, but that would make me a conspiracy theorist.

Or they can visit my restaurant where they have the opportunity to eat s**t.

 

[sedders]

If anyone thinks the game isn't corrupt watch the 2nd quarter.

Which free wasn’t there. Please enlighten us.

Or accept the fact your team fell apart with the slightest of pressure and started playing the man.

 

[caitsith01]

At one point there in Q2, WC were htb,htb,htb, nothing then soft free to WC. No wonder Selwood went to the umps.

Yep, that was ******* offensive.

 

[illegaleagle]

Thought the thread said no umpire complaints ?

 

[Demontim275]

If I were Scott I'd be saying forget the AFL's agenda and hit them hard.

So you’re saying Scott should throw another tantrum?

Is he going to point out all the poor frees? Will he condemn the umpires for the missed Dahlhaus call?

Or do you only think the sport is corrupt when soft frees go against you?

For all the (valid) whinging about Selwood ducking it's been a staple tactic of the West coast team for at least a decade. Couple that with a crazy home ground advantage from the umps and you end up with an almost +1000 differential

The gift for “blocking” comes to mind
