Finals Week 1 - Non Essendon

[frosty]

Oh FFS, you’re going to defend Collingwood?

Blatant cheating by umpires

Feel this requires a bump. What transpired today was nothing short of cheating IMO. The non call on Crisp in the last qtr where EVERY player stopped only to eventually wake up to the fact the umpire was waving his arms. The 2-3 non calls on high tackles within goal scoring range on Tipungwuti only to then turn around and pay Pendlebury one for ducking straight into a tackle. I’ve never said an umpire cost the game but there’s no doubt they influenced today’s result IMO.
