The umpiring was fcking diabolical, and I turned it off half way through the last.
Consciously the umpires would never favour a team over another to win a game.
Unfortunately the decisions being made by the umpires are subconscious decisions and that is heavily bias and always fulfills its own ego.
So yes, if our club is copping it every week… we are being unfairly targeted by the subconscious decisions of the individual umpires. But not from the AFL.
The biggest problem is they somehow find umpires with really low self-esteem, like real scums of the earth Pannell types, and they end up like this whenever they’re interstate

Doesn’t explain how he screws us in Melbourne when we play Sydney.
Going to stick with the corrupt Essendon hating cheat theory.

The one that has always bemused me is how you can pick the footy up a half metre in from the boundary and then just step over the line if someone lays a glove on you. Compare that to some of the deliberate calls we’re seeing.
There’s an ancient reptilian link between the act of kicking and brain function.
It’s why the umps find it easier to read the player’s mind when they kick it out.
Are you saying the umpires are snakes?
Ehhh, settle down, … Snakes are cool!!
Worms, … no wait,… good for gardens, fishing, … ummmmmm …
The word you are searching for is “maggots”.

Pieces of ■■■■?
Better, … particularly of the Canine variety. Other types can be used as fertilizer, … and all could ,essentially, be used to produce energy from a methane fermenter…
Did get me wondering what the most useless thing in the world is, . and apart from politicians, I think I’ve settled on Mossies.
All they do is annoy the shitt out of you, sneak up & sting you when you’re trying to enjoying your self , & spread disease, … so fairly apt.
I can’t think of anything they are good for,…
The appendix.
Can’t see anyone yelling out “YOU ■■■■■■■ CHEATING APPENDIX”! though.
