Again. They were stitched up cruelly by the AwFL when they were the only club that supported us during the Saga.

So they are another on the AwFL’s “Do Not Care” list.

How many games is that now where FarkCarlton have been gifted games in the last minutes from complete howler decisions? You cant tell me that this is just luck of the draw.

No wonder it couldn’t be repeated.

Edit: not working properly, apparently the ump didn’t actually hear what Jordan Clark said to him before paying the free for dissent to FC.

The fix is in for FC. Plain as day.

Id have totally lost my ■■■■ if Essendon lost to the scum like that.

If it was to Sydney id just curse and say same ■■■■ different year.

Fletcher gave away free kicks just for being demonstrative. It’s not new.

So, did finlayson utter his slur at a player or an umpire ?

He seemed very ready to tell club officials that it was directed at an Essendon player. Had the umpire just awarded a free against him? Its all a bit hazy.

And apparently the umpire didn’t even know the meaning of the word!

(according to Fletch)

Parish quick fend off attempt got pinged by Daicos, HTB, then Daicos himself tried the exact same thing a few minutes later, play on.

Did anyone see that one where Pies got a free at CHF, Daicos had the ball and put his hands up like woah I’m stopping, Dons guy doesn’t tackle as the play is stopping, Daicos gets passed him and just plays on. “Advantage!”

there was a suspect looking disposal from under the pack leading to the elliott dropped mark too.

Kelly got that second consecutive 50 for not clearing out when running towards the new mark. Mihocek (?) did the exact same thing, jogging in front us when we got a 50, nothing.

These mistakes you guys rightly point out were all mistakes. As there are in every game.

But at no stage today did it feel like umpiring impacted this contest one or the other. Not sure why the thread was bumped at all today.

1st quarter - umps loved us and helped with our early momentum.
2nd quarter - same but the other way.
3rd and 4th - questionable decisions each way.

Probably about even in terms of impact on the result.

Short 50 mtrs to Stringer. Then a long one against Kelly
