We got a great run by the umps especially in Sydney
I would have overturned the behinds to Jack and Franklin. Sorry, FRANKLIN!
Fark me.
I couldnāt imagine getting a better run of umpiring ever than last night.
We are actually singling out a free kick in the last 5 seconds of the game at a boundary throw in? No umpire would have called that. Not for us or against us.
We should be glad we got a free kick in the forward line from a soft push in the back to McKernan just 5 minutes earlier.
There is no conspiracy against us. The umpires are just human beings who have complete brain fades. Just like Goddard does.

Blatant free kick to Belly missed by 4 umpires-nothing more nothing less.

Iāve heard a few people complain about the score reviews being wrongly decided.
IMO this is bullsh*t. Every one of those score reviews were correct last night.

I thought the others were correct. I hope they saw Kellyās index finger moving in the Buddy one though and didnāt go āUmpireās Call.ā Even if the outcome is the same.
Given the umps failed to pay any one of the 15 clear holding free kicks against Bellchambers in the ruck (proper fist full of jumper stuff) Iām not gonna complain about the two they didnāt pay in the last 20sec when theyād put the whistle away.

There was a lot of holding all night that didnāt get called, mostly from the swans. I remember one instance where there was a free against Stewart in a marking contest where you could see in the foreground the swans defender pulling smackās jumper. Ump only saw one infringement. Hartley got lucky a couple of times too, but i think the swans got away with plenty
Wow, Blummers, two very big calls.
There has been a conspiracy against us ever since J Coleman was suspended back a very long time ago. Of course it was not helped by Hirdy being truthful about those cheating maggots in 2004 or so.
And Umpires are their own species, didnāt descend from the Apes, but perhaps some alien beings who hate anything red and black. Think Sheeds pointed this out previously.

Interesting. I was taking a walk on the weekend and happened to go past an Under 13 game.
I saw a guy wearing a tabard " Umpire Escort" ( The umpire was about 17 )
Apparently they really need umpire escorts at these games to escort the umpires back to their flying saucers.

Probably OK. Unless Glen Archer is one of the parents.
Itās amazing weāve managed to win grand finals and have a few Brownlow Medalists along the wayā¦
I hope Iām not sitting on a plane piloted by one of those umpires having complete brain fades.
So do some of you take off your tinfoil hat to sleep or???
