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

Corruption abounds

if mcgrath kicked it thru and then celebrated like he had just kicked a goal what would the umps do then?

I think on the McGrath decision because it directly resulted on a kick on goal the umpire should be able to refer to the third umpire

Ie deliberate rushed behind are basically goals. Every time.

So make it a score review and simply award a goal if it is

Like a penalty try in rugby league.

Little times lost then.

Dodgy decision is a dodgy decision, whether it’s made upstairs or on-field.

^Or off-field in advance, ie AFL HQ to maggots: “Give us the results we need”.

So refreshing to see that, if only this club coaching could find that passion, wait think James Hird sort of did once

Especially since we were leading the free kicks at 1/2 time.
Then (tin foil hat on) call from HQ followed by a massive over correction where they got 10 frees to our 2 in the 2nd half.
Fox footy actively barracking for the dawks , it’s hard not to think that it’s rigged.

Archer 3 weeks confirmed.

If you watch the footage when he received the ball he was inside 9m as was the hawthorn player . He the went to go boundary but the hawks player was there so went double back the other way and and fell over …he was under pressure from the time he went boundary side as for having prior if he just hack kicked it out when he went boundary side would he be penalized for not keeping it in.

Has the awfull come out with a response

It wasn’t McGrath slipping over again, or his manic panic on the last line again, or even the blatantly bias umpiring again, that pushed me over the edge.
It was Watson’s reaction to being given the ‘free’ kick. He is fast approaching Hayden Ballantyne levels of annoying little ■■■■.

Trying to emulate his coach, coach doing well in this regard as you would expect.

Free kick Hawthorn taken to a whole new level. If I was FC I’d be furious. It could have made a big difference

19 more frees to the scum. The umps messed up early with a terrible call to give the dogs their 1st and there were a few other soft calls to the dogs but the call came in and they gave Collingwood an absolute armchair ride after that. Daicos ducking till the early morn and the dumpires fall for it every time. Just get better you kents.

The umps totally stalled the dogs run in the last 5 minutes with a series of ■■■■ decisions, all in favor of Collingwood

  • 19 is the biggest free kick differential that the Bulldogs have conceded in a match since 1979. And +19 is the biggest the Magpies have had since… 2023.

So Collingwood went the whole of 2024 without a +19 free kick game. NO wonder they finished 9th. How can they be expected to win without the help they are used to?
