I know this is stating the obvious but this is something that has occurred all year. Opposition teams grow in confidence knowing we fall apart as well.

I'm not sure if it's leadership or collectively we just go to water or it's cultural (close enough is good enough), etc. but we just don't work hard enough during these times. We need to go another level and work harder in the contests during this time to take back control, we need to run harder to win the uncontested ball and even (which I really hate) maybe try to slow the game down by controlling the ball, although I know how that will end up - turnovers!!!. How about we try to throw an extra in the midfield at these times, ala Richmond. Do something instead of the usual man behind the ball, which doesn't seem to work for us anyway.

arrggghhh

Bring them on. Shows us more. Screenshots?

He is not a cheat. And we should be super careful of ever using that word for our umpires.
However, he us a poor umpire. I have seen him for years in the vfl and he pays a few terrible frees every game: he misapplies logic and way too often doesn't use common sense. What we used to call feel for the game.
His rationale to Plow in the goalsquare was that he had no choice but to pay the free against SPS. Of course he had a choice: ball up!
A classic case of young umpires being marked down in development leagues for not paying frees that are technically there. He is the worst in this regard and I hate it when we have him.
I hate feeling so powerless to do anything about the frees we do/don't get but we can't call umps cheats.
But gee my soft furnishings copped it yesterday.

That's what I thought at the time... just wiggle around and look like you're making an attempt and he may have created a stoppage. In the end it was a shit decision but it was a shot for goal 50 out on the boundary... until the 50m penalty which was inexcusable.

Cain Liddle should edit the video of this weeks game, send it to the AFL and umpires coach and ask for an explanation as to why decisions were judged in favour of West Coast when they tackled a Carlton player, but when a Carlton player tackled a West Coast player in exactly the same manner it was either a free to West Coast, play on or a ball up. And the video should repeatedly play the trip to Curnow and the slam to the ground of Cripps by NicNat. Maybe if the umpires saw it repeated 30 or 40 times they might pick up the inconsistency.

Think someone might have saved Liddle a few hours in the editing suite NTB

Watching that video makes me furious.
What a joke!

I think teague needs help and the currant assistant JB needs to go .

I thought his name was Nathan Cunningham

It's a feature of AFL in 2020 that teams can get a run on. It happened all across the weekend.
