we'll win our next 3

Hampson and houli so good we don't really need draft picks

Think l have just seen the worst umpiring in VFL / AFL history.
If the Richmond Football Club don't put in a Official complaint against the umpiring in that game then they got no balls to except that type of rubbish. That clearly cost us the game

Free kicks.

Rich 18 / Syd 16

They were screwed just as much as us if not worse.

It's not why we lost!

Holding the ball to the man
Umpire watching the ball clearly out of bounds they kick a goal
2 goal directly kicked by the umpires
Deledio mark was clearly & not paid
They have stacks on us & we get pinned but only once they got pinned
clearly this cost us the game as our heads dropped

[TigerLand]

I'm so confused with the holding the ball.

Countless incidents per round where a guy gets stacked on and gets pinged. It's awful. Anyone who has played knows it's so easy to lock the ball in and getting it out is bloody tough.

2 shockers were 1 against Miles after having stacks on and the worst was Ellis having ball held to him by McVeigh. Making it worse predicted species Goodes did the same thing 3 mins prior on the wing.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Umpiring poor tonight

You sound as delusional as Hardwick.

We lost because we are poo.
We lost because we have too many poo players.
We lost because we are soft as butter.
We lost because we lack on field leaders.
We lost because Hampsud is playing for us.
We lost because Shedwards is still playing for us.
We lost because our culture is poo.
We lost because the coach has no answers except that the umpiring was poo.
Etc etc etc

The umpiring was bad but it was just as bad for them as it was for us.

[Owl]

Im with you TigerMonk
they did their usual bs of stuffing us over in the second half.

[WilliamPowell]

I went to an AFL game tonight or so I thought

Heading to the Rugby on Sunday arvo well I pretty sure I am

All we get arerolling mauls because these ninkum poops just let it happen

It's ruining the game

[Hellenic Tiger]

Thank flooding into the degeneration of the game and the standards of umpiring.

3 of 4 Buddy's gols questionable. The free in the last the mark that I touched from my seat in the Olympic in the second.

What about Goodes lame attempt to get rid of the ball with no free yet a minute later Ellis gets pinged when he had no chance to do anything?

Don't get me started on the crap that was adjudicated in the last.

Pretty soon AFL matches will be played at AAMI park to coincide with AFL's transition to rugby.

Yeah when Buddy got the handball receive and he was well out of bounds that was ridiculous. I don't think we would've won but it's these umpiring howlers in a close match which make you think our club gets singled out and shafted

[Diocletian]

If they ever bring in that rugby union rule regarding players keeping their feet then we're stuffed.

[Yeahright]

Even my Richmond hating mates (including a Swans supporter) reckons we got shafted

[Phil Mrakov]

Will Shame Newman bag the umpires over this on the footy show like he did when Carlton were crucified?

[Tigershark]

I was there and the umps didn't lose it for us......swans were more skilful for longer.......simple....we. Miss easy goals and players can't make distance from 50......we were not  good enough for long enough......it's been the story of the year........I just wanna throw the TV remote thru the TV.......

No one hates Richmond anymore.
They feel sorry for us that why we're everyone's second team now.
