Umpiring in Geelong Cats v West Coast Eagles

[Jhye Clark 13]

Yep. The free kicks wce were getting weren't going the other way.

It's a thing I loathe and maybe I'm too drunk but that's as bad a quarter I've seen from them.

Good luck anyway, I like you dude.

Geelong holding WC players without the ball all game. I get it it's their only chance to win playing on the edge. Don't cry when frees go against you though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Stop sooking about the umpires - this is a great game of footy.

Was this directed to people in this thread or Joel?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Textbook block. He turned his head to look for Ryan.

F off Abassi

We don’t need your cool headed logic

 

[WCfan22]

Shocking decision

Yeah to keep carrying on about it I know. Let it go mate your wrong it's OK.

 

[market]

they are stuffing up what could be a great game. I love the Cats as much as any Hawker, but they are getting screwed by the bald headed flog and co.

Ha ha

Perhaps you want a 9000 free kick count

 

[kranky al]

F off

He was standing there

Dreadful gift to the eagles

Disagree with this - free was there and if you look at it cold and clear you will see it.

Is it a finals free kick - probably not.

If it happens up the other end will it be a free - based on this game so far.

No

Ryan jumped in the air at the ball. Geelong defender didn't compete for ball

 

[BKM78]

Insipid. So all the high tackles and blatant hanging on should just be let go.

Please. 10 free's up at half time. A few sure. Even 5 or 6. But 10 up. No. There were passages of play there where the whistle disappeared and hey presto they pluck one. Relax guy, you guys played well. But the free kick count is laughable.

 

[Demontim275]

Yep

Whether it's appealing for deliberate out of bounds like they have just trapped someone LBW..
Or attempting to intimidate umpires during the breaks......

The Geelong Cats are arrogant so and so's!

My fav was danger whinging last week for a deliberate out of bounds, before the ball went out of bounds, and not noticing that the ball was actually picked up and never went out of bounds.

Afl umpires need to be more like local umpires. You bitch at them, they won’t pay s**t your way again. You cry for frees, they’ll stop noticing legitimate frees

Concentrate on your teams * ups. Maybe fix the countless mistakes your teammates make before whinging at others

 

[caitsith01]

Was there Geelong player wasn’t even looking at the ball

Which rule says you have to look at the ball?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Let’s hope for dreadful square ups

In front of goal

 

[WCfan22]

Nothing I’ve seen tonight concerns me for next week.

I thought our free pulling was pretty good

 

[Jafa]

Thought the thread said no umpire complaints ?

It also said no drug stuff but you know -

Whatever.

 

[hk89]

The gift for “blocking” comes to mind

Looked pretty textbook to me. Not in the contest himself, looks to see the eagles player trying to get to the marking contest, deliberately steps into his path to block his access to the marking contest without trying to compete himself. In what manner did you think that wasn't a block?

 

[Xtreme]

What's with the umpire taking a deep breath before the bounce ?

I guess it's better than grunting like Sharapova.... but still!!

 

[Demontim275]

Our coach is a ******* but that quarter was corrupt.

So you think there’s a conspiracy, to make geelong lose, that is held as a secret from everyone. And that bookies are okay with. And that this corruption is also covered up by players?

Yeah nah. You’re just an emotional fan acting like a toddler.

Danger has more * ups than the umps so far. OMG CORRUPT!

 

[Sir_Loin]

The square up begins

 

[RAPPA]

Poor call. Barely held it

 

[believe_it]

Man slow to whistle

 

[Ocker]

* me I hope Jack and Tom get those paid next week..

 

[Gavin Excell]

There you go

Fortunate

Swings and roundabouts

 

[Tandy]

What a joke

 

[Sir_Loin]

Gaff goes alright
