The umps would cop less criticism if they focused on getting the basic decisions right.

It's gone about eight metres.'

A bizzare decision ends with a Suns goal.

I reckon the opposite

He was in mid air to mark the footy and the carlton player came from nowhere

What was Greene meant to do?

i reckon they both should never be cited, and instead the afl sited for being a corrupt organization.

It’s getting harder and harder to follow the game given the unchecked compromises to the integrity of it’s administration

At one stage the free kicks were about 6-6, it’s now 11-19.

Ended up 12 - 24. LOL at twice as many frees. Typical standard of the fluro muppets  ::).

As usual it's the blatant ones that we don't get that tick me off. Two different sets of rules for us and our opposition.

Kosi Pickett's two-handed push in Broad's back.
Maurice held without the ball.
May coming in over the top and gets Lefau high after the ball had been knocked out and yet May gets the free for taking the legs out :facepalm.
Dees deliberately holding us up on the mark but not one 50m penalty. We had Fritsch running into the protected area well after Floss had taken the mark and was about to kick the ball. It forced Floss to stop but still no 50!  ::)

I lost count of the number of 1 handed disposals.

That cheat May chopping (was it Bakers) arms

The number of holding the ball

Disgraceful

I had to turn the commentary off
