I don't want to blame umpires, cos we got a couple our way too, but 3 come to mind that were really piss poor momentum killers.
The holding the ball decision followed by 50 metre penalty when we had tied it up in our forward line (by the same peanut who paid the deliberate rushed behind last week no less) was just dumb
The Gibbs holding the ball after Robbo's spoil with Heath Shaw grabbing him around the neck to hold it in was pathetic and wrong.
Finally the play on not 15 metre mark to Collins when Thornton snapped it was again wrong.
All three were in the 3rd quarter when we had all the momentum and all 3 were paid in our forward line.
Is this why we lost??? No. but inept and $hit umpiring is not getting any better. !@#$%& off Geischen you clown
Blaming the umpire is delusional. Judd got an armchair ride from the umps. and yes it makes up for previous taggers, but boy the love the umps have for Judd is embarrassing.
Plenty of Collinwood throws balanced out that one by Judd.
That Blair for them must feel above the law. Some of the stuff he got away with last night was laughable. THe free to him for bouncing of Russ was the icing on the cake for him.
They were lucky all round last night. Good teams get the luck yes but some of the stuff that happened was just plain lucky.
You would think a club habouring drink drivers, someone involved in the shooting of decent man, a bloke who beat up a family man going about his business, a misogynist and a suspect characters like Beams would get no joy from the universe. Perhaps the gods are just setting them up for a big fall. Blueman might be able to shed some light on this.
