Time to take the fine.
Us paying supporters have had enough.

Was that the worst display of umpiring you've ever seen ?

Yes. I've been to 2 games this because of the systematic ability to cheat us out of a game with 'subjective' calls that we never publicly deride. See you AFL. See you Pies. Thanks for letting this go on Eddie.

That was disgraceful.Theft,pure and simple.Every,and I mean every single 50/50 decision went their way.

I always think you need to watch it again without the emotion to judge. But I don't think it was umpiring that lost it.

No way. They were fine. Every free kick was there. Technically should have gotten that holding the ball in the second but there wasn't much there. Terrible unforced errors by one T Adams a massive factor.

Agree. Pathetic display. Completely one way umpiring.

I have not seen such a one sided umpiring display as today

I never blame the umpires for a defeat. Never have. Check my posting history.

This time it's different. This was an absolute disgrace. Utterly unacceptable.

I normally wouldn't go down the blame the umps line but their interpretation of holding the ball against us and in favour of Melbourne clearly affected the result.
Eddie saying something won't change anything - in fact it may make things worse but today the umps were not great.

I cannot believe how often we were penalised and melbourne were allowed to do whatever. Charity day for Melbourne all round.

I don't care if it does nothing
I want them to know we won't sit in silence.
