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

Martin’s was no worse than Lobb attempted spoil getting Mason Cox the other week

Very quiet in here tonight or is everybody now just immune to the extra assistance Collingwood get every week?

No.

Just an audition for next week for the maggots in yellow. That 77 meter penalty should be a drop-able offense.

Can’t judge 15m or 50m

The guy who was right in front of Zorko getting his head pulled out by Mihocek, but decided to not pay the free kick, then felt a butthurt because Zorko was bemused and paid it to Collingwood… he is a deadset cheat.

How can they not know the centre square is 50m long?

Long been one of my pet peeves.

Was the non-controlling ump who paid the FK for dissent, right as the afflicted umpire was about to bounce the ball for the restart.

Disgraceful every way you slice it

Getting in early for Anzac Day.
That was a fkn disgrace!

And that it is supposed to be a direct path from the free kick towards goal.

The free kick was on the boundary at half back. He was then shooting at goal from directly in front… That ain’t a straight line.

Umpiring has been diabolical tonight against both sides

Basically just came in here to post that. Woeful performance.

Dean Margetts would have comfortably got WCE across the line last night.

There’s been a huge number of incorrect “not 15” paid across a heap of games this season.

That’s not an officiating ambiguity issue. That’s a learning disability.

Well, I suppose with the Shiel one, 30 m is technically “not 15”.

Surprised no acknowledgement in here of the proverbial wristy the umps gave us last night.

I thought this.

They were bad but not equally so. We got the rub of the green

The one that stood out for me was when Merrett was slung in a tackle by McGovern, ump gave Merrett a free but as he was trying to get up McGovern pushed him back down to the ground, why no 50?

WC were very aggressive at the man last night. They obviously targeted this game. Merrett in particular came in for heavy treatment. That’s why we won the free kick count but I reckon there was still plenty missed.

This is how well the AFL is going.

Found out last night that there is a field umpire who was given the chop for being ■■■■ at the end of last season but because the AFL didn’t performance manage him properly the umpire brought legal reps in and they were forced to let him umpire again this season.
