I don’t bash the umpires
In fact I find it annoying and tiring
But this has been as bad a start that I’ve ever seen, bordering on cheating

Elsewhere, the umpiring decisions were criticised given the 12-point swing they effectively created at the outset of the match.

Wow , outrageous Decisions.

YES

That's absolutely NOT a FK against Lynch there.

Shocking call.  #AFLGiantsTigers

Not even a mention from the afl regarding those the umpiring in the first 15 minutes and those decisions.

Happy with where your club has ended up after the 2021 season?

-86 for us?  Unbelievable!  Especially when the second last side (StKilda) were 52 frees in front of us!   
That is last in a very big way, an impossible way, a rigged way, a totally unfair way ...
The most penalized but also the least rewarded side - Good job SHocking!   

Can we get a ladder showing how many goals were scored from free kicks for each side for the year?  I'll bet we finished on top of that ladder!     :thumbsdown           
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

An independent enquiry is warranted. It’s stuffen blatant bias against us.

How does this compare to the last ten years or so?
