Blatant cheating by umpires - “having a ‘mare” this century

Yep. If we hear anything from the AFL it will be that one decision might have been lineball but all the others were right. I don’t expect to hear anything though, especially if the club doesn’t pursue the matter.

Won’t happen of course against Collingwood, but It’d be interesting if Essendon fans just refused to turn up to the away games in despair at this ■■■■. We could probably punch some severe holes in the budgets of Melbourne and St Kilda.

Imagine if we did it on Friday night against Pies. That would really ■■■■ the AFL off.

I’m just waiting for the ‘excuses’ from the AwFuL. We get dudded again and, low and behold, all the decisions are ‘fair’.

I look forward to the club doing nothing and the league doing nothing.

I don’t care who is in this years grand final or perhaps even who wins it, but I hope it is decided by a free kick not given like the Draper arm chop or a blatantly horrendous incorrect call like the Menzie one.

Maybe Anzac Day 2019

That’s a three week suspension in the VFL.

Yeah, we might be without McKay for a while. Doubt the AFL think they’ve ■■■■■■ ha enough yet.

I’ve been waiting for the stand mollison down petition

Yes. Beautifully blue skies here.

Of course In Melbourne we would have to have split-second timing.

The AwFuL very much makes a person want to watch the world burn.

After watching Brads presser again it’s pretty evident he knows that what occurred from an adjudication perspective was an abomination but as he said “what can we do about it? They likely just say it’s an error”.

I’m certain they would review the 3rd and see that there’s ~20 errors that destroyed us but they never do anything to change things.

The biggest prerequisite to be an afl ump seems the ability to run a beep tests for >15 kms and very little with adjudicating the rules in the spirits of the game, and as close to the laws of the game as possible.

There’s so many intelligent people who love the game. How there hasn’t been a revolutionised way the game has been umpired which shows a marked improvement is beyond me.

Of course humans will make errors but fark me if we made as many as we all did in our professional working environments, we’d lose our jobs.

Torn between wanting the boys to have support this week as they deserve it v’s no one going in red and black in protest.

The hip pocket is the only way in which these ■■■■■ at AFL house will ever listen to us without thinking we’re plebs.

■■■■■ in this town are willing to protest over the dumbest things, it’s time we do for something we’re passionate about.

So 17 minutes to go third quarter, Hawks v Eagles Chol launches for a mark 20 metres out, just like Draper and gets an arm taken out by Barass.
Uncanny similarities.
No hesitation- free kick Chol. Arm chop.

I just hope the negative media coverage achieves something, ■■■■■■■ anything

The AFL will have to say the deliberate rushed was a mistake. Otherwise they will have to say the other 100 not paid during the year was a mistake. They can’t win on this one “It was a mistake”. Hopefully they say it like the Fonz “we were wr-wr-wr-wrong”.

Just like the Fonz, the AFL jumped the shark. Not sure if there’s a specific time and place where they started lying to the fans, but it seems like decades. Probably started under Demetriuo
