Noticed no free kick for the Eagles player, despite laying flat on the ground off the ball.

I am genuinely going to be amused by how Christian gets Hawkins off. I guess no concussion no case to answer? We didn't lose because of umpiring we lost because we kicked a point in the last quarter.

High Contact, Low Impact, Unintentional, Victorian Player.

Welcome to the 2019 VFL Finals Series.

9-1 run of frees highlighted by all and sundry. No focus on the fact that good 8 of them were blatant.

12-6 turnaround, silence.

Hawkins shoves McGovern in the back, 'marks' a ball touched by 3 hands, goal.
Stewart collects Yeo in the head, nothing, inside 50, goal.
Ryan not tackled, ball punched out of his hands, holding the ball, inside 50, not sure if goal.
Etc.

And this game is supposedly a free ride to us.

Staggeringly inept coverage we are subjected to.

Wah wah *ing wah wah wahhhhhhh

shocking umpiring, pretty sure no one know understands dropping the ball, holding the ball or prior opportunity anymore and the differences.

The umpires surely dont

Look when your in bright colours:

Yellow and blue your easier to spot.

Eagles are essentially wearing a yellow vest every time they play

Eagles kissed on the dick and still creating main board threads crying about the umpires?

Special breed in the west.
Nah, as much as I don't like the team Freo supporters are fine. West Coast for whatever reason have an acute victim complex. Might have something to do with been given an armchair ride by the umps for at least a decade

Enjoy the win and convince yourself you weren't gifted goals if it makes you feel better.

Geelong were better tonight, but if you think a lot better but held back by the umpires you'll be in for a rude shock next week m
