Stevic



Might as well start planning for Sydney or Essendon in a fortnight....

I get that, but I feel Matt Stevic's interpretation of the rules and our way of gamestyle just don't compliment each other..

Lets be honest Stevic is a stuffen cheat.  He clearly hates Richmond and will do everything he can to shaft us.

Fingers crossed he pulls a hammy at training or else we are buggered.

We've probably gone through about half-a-dozen different "gamestyles" since Stevic's been umpiring and none of then have ever seemed to "compliment" him..... :shh :whistle

Someone needs to take Stevic out prior to the game

I'm not one to bash umpires but the facts are Stevic is a cheat... And I'd like to bash him.  :shh

I just hope whatever the result we can just walk away and not have to talk about them. Just do your job and call what you see without looking for poo that isn't there.

Interestingly on the Cats BF thread on this game they're just as upset with Stevic umpiring for more or less the same reasons.

Even more interesting was the free kick count at halftime in the rd21 clash down there which Stevic also umpired. Can't remember exactly what it was but I seem to remember it was more than 2:1 in their favour....

Well at minimum it puts a whole new dynamic on the game.

If theres evident bias things will get very interesting
