I was figuring it must of been a stunt because they had more Aboriginal players or something because it was so stuffing blatant.  How many goals did they kick from frees?  In just the first quarter even?  Anyone got that stat?  Because I am sure it was at least 3 or 4.  In the first quarter the free kicks were 7 to 1.  You can't tell me we weren't due any because I saw plenty of mugging going on in our forward line for the same poo they paid to them and tackles where they spilled the ball go unrewarded.  They did play well in patches but so would we if we were getting the rub of the green along with our patches of scoring.  When it all goes your way you look stuffing great.  Whenever we started getting on top or looked like we were, that sonofabitch 10 mostly would pluck some bs out of his hole and cockblock us with a free the other way.

Two absolute howlers that stick in my mind were: Jetta dead-set shoving Morris in the back then waltzing into an open goal, and jst before 3/4 time that unrewarded tackle where the spill resulted in a goal. That's a free kick every day of the week. As has been said, it just went on and on all night long. The scumpires were either on the take, or were completely sucked in by all the Effin-dumb hype.

For what it's worth neutral supporters reckon Essendon had an armchair ride

I thought they were going to crack down on players who came in and locked the ball to the player on the ground? last night the in the gold coast game the ump explained why one instance was a ball up - because the tackler dragged the ball in??

The real doozy was hearing the umpire drop the C word when he made one his many poor bounces for the night.

I don't normally play into the umpiring excuses but ffs they were disgraceful last night and they Must clamp down on player ducking their heads. Bloody Bombers players did it all night.

stuff those red and black idiots ducking their heads all through the first half.

That goal to Watson where he ducked right our player yet got awarded a free kick is a disgrace

I've never been more angry but then Jettas hands in the back was the icing on the cake especially after I stood there and watched those malaka puntas crucify Richo a few years in front of us, costing us yet another 4 points

Gee One-Eyed, I hope you're not suggesting that we should be letting such trivial matters as the correct interpretation of the rules get in the way of showcasing Indigenous talent.

the two decisions which were terrible were
1/ The free kick against Maric when Stanton had hold of the ball, and Ivan got 50 for giving the umpire a spray
2/ The non-decision not to ping Hocking for holding the ball where he clearly was caught and dropped the ball, only to pick it back up and handball to another player who goaled.

The Watson duck needs to be looked at as well, as Nahas didnt get 2 frees for the same  :banghead
