and have just seen replay of mick's interview with richo - nice pasting of umpiring without even mentioning them.
also nice hatchet job on hodge - bloke gets broken jaw from hit with shoulder and not even a free kick.
nice message to match review panel to make sure they don't miss it
...and KNOB CLARKSON saying he's never seen Hodge do anything untoward....no KNOB reporter has anything other than a goldfish memory to pull him up on it. Herald Sun this morning has 3 head high hits ...all Hodge...none paid,
Make no mistake umpired reamed us. ...whenever we were attacking...you knew there would be a free against us...from quarter one let alone the second half.the AFL and media are kidding themselves if they don't think umps are trying to determine the result .... Does anyone check betting or other unusual activity?
Would love to see a audit of how/when they're frees are paid. My opinion changed dramatically at that North WestCoast game. Anyone think that was just a few " bad decisions" at the end are kidding themselves. Like last night, the dodgy calls were the entire game against the Kangas....they just took it to a new level in the last 5 minutes.
Last night we are being killed from the 1st quarter ...Scotland called to play on, holding the ball decision, and Franklin in the back, ...in the first 5 minutes....nothing similar done against the Hawks in identical plays within minutes and sometimes seconds.
Hawks too the opportunities given to them by the umps...we didn't take the opportunities we created. How many we're given to us.??????
Pathetic...Read in the paper someone threw a bottle....what a shame they didn't snot one of them. Then it would have to go to court with all of the analysis that would bring....
I'm disillusioned with the AFL today.
I thought the same about the WCE Nth game....there were bigger things going on there, and my take on last nights game was moreso continued and very obvious bias against Carlton from umpires.
Now thinking about how big gambling is in the AFL and the infiltration of sport by gangsters I believe there were greater forces at work last night.
Then there's the lab rats...and everyone knows the Bumbers have breached the law...wh did the umpires rip Carlton off then too????
Something to do what position on the ladder we end?
Where theres smoke theres fire.
I can't put all this passion and pain into a team only to be cheated.
I want justice or I'm going to have to ween myself off this addiction.
My mother told me in 1973 it was unhealthy to love a footy team as much as I loved Carlton.
