The umps were terrible  :banghead but we didn't do outselves any favours before half-time. Chaplin handballing to the feet of his teammates in defence surrounded by Geelong players and then Houli and Grimes stuff up a 2-1 advantage allowing the one Cat to keep the ball in play and get it to West for another gifted goal. We just gave away too many soft easy goals via dumb turnovers. So instead of going into half-time a couple of goals in front and a chance to apply scoreboard pressure to Geelong, we switched off in intensity and pressure and allowed them the lead.

As for the umps - just 4 frees in a half of football when we were in front for most of it and had more of the ball was a joke  ::). Then the third quarter umpiring got to us. The turning point was when Dusty marked in front of goal and the ump pulled a free to Geelong back where the ball came from. Those are momentum changes  :banghead.

Early third quarter some elderly bloke in front of me just got out of his seat and said "stuff this, I'm not putting up with this. I'm going." And just walked out lol.

Can't put them down as the reason of the loss, but it was one of the most disgusting umpiring performances of any game. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to stay interested with the same old mediocre Richmond and absolutely atrocious adjudication.

If they're waiting for any "appreciation" from me, on last night's effort they can hold their breath til they turn blue and asphyxiate. Words haven't been invented that can describe how much I DESPISE the lot of them, and their brain-dead boss Geischen (surely, a bitter, sacked ex-Richmond employee with a lifelong axe to grind. What other explanation can there be for the continual reaming we receive from these maggots, week in week out?) Last night's game was nothing more than an exercise in assuring a fairy tale result for Stevie.J and Corey. From the 20 minute mark of the 2nd qtr, until the point in the 3rd when (combined with losing our rucks) they just crushed every bit of resistance out of us with their continually one-way interpretations. I hope they all rot in hell.

No noi really did appreciate their continued lack I'd consistency in their interpretation of rules in season 2013

They been nothing if not consistent this year with their ineptitude

Congrats  :clapping

I am fast losing interest in this game, is a joke of the highest order. Watched the adel hawks game earlier and that was a joke too. They have ruined the game, they don't want body on body. They want both players looking at the ball and jumping at the ball not worrying about their opponent. What ideological BS.
