It's not going to change anytime soon. |
Could have been worse and more blatant with Stevic and Schmidt umpiring. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

Yeah that was the one that was the stupidest decision of the night. Hawks player runs into an open goal at the punt road end in the third quarter, gets tackles, doesn't kick or handball it, ball spills out to another Hawks player who goals.
That umpire has to be dropped, if a player makes a mistake that costly he gets dropped.
That was clearly and obviously holding the ball.
The Rioli one is a strange one. For 120 years that was a free kick, couldn't bump a bloke in the head. For the last 6 weeks that is not a free kick, anyone who ducks and basically head butts the other player it's supposed to be play on.
The rule is stupid, players are now bumping players who have their head over the ball because they think they won't get a free against. Can't have that happening. |
But Matty, for 120 years blokes didn't go in head first like that, they turned their bodies and collided shoulder-to-shoulder (or there abouts).
The head-high bump only came into focus when Michael Long lined up Troy Simmonds in the 2000 GF from 10 metres away and nearly decapitated him! Dirty prick.
So we can blame Long for creating the likes of Selwood and Shuey. _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

IIRC, Troy Simmonds way a karate black-belt? He should have ginsuud Long's ass all over the MCG, so it would have been decoration for the coming Olympic Games... _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

^Lol. Wouldn't have minded seeing that!
Simmonds was being tackled/harassed at the time and had nowhere to go; he was open and Long lined him up. Doubt Long would've done the same thing if it had've been shoulder-to-shoulder. _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

Very much agree with you opinion. We are a side that puts a great deal of pressure on the opposition through out tackle count yet we rarely get rewarded. We ping Hodge twice in under a minute but no free given. Shit effort by the umpires in respect to this. |

Bloody Oath, spot on, piss and poop got four frees near goal, all goals, we got sweet fanny adams. Yhat final free to little prick Ravioli, was the last straw, he should get the Oscar for that, did sellwood real proud too. From that free on, the momentum swung to the dawks, and they ground out an underserved win. Having said that, if bloody Fas hadve booted a couple,a s he should have, we would be celebrating a fighting victory over a hated and despiesed rival, but umps never ever, do us any favours, we just have to suck it up, week after week. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
