It's disgusting how they change the momentum and get no scrutiny.  The Swans cheat defensively. Rampe barely got a possession but was in possession all day of a Richmond player. Only one free kick paid against him. He is an ordinary player allowed to cheat because he plays for the Swans. Like Frost for Collingwood.

After the first 15mins, it was one way traffic - some disgraceful decisions

I thought they were pretty fair tonight.

Yeah had no major issues with the umpires today/tonight

Yeah they got a few wrong but nothing that impacted on the result of the game

Besides we won does it really matter  ;D

I thought they were pretty fair tonight.

I didn't.  We got dry-fisted imho.  And I watched the replay this morning (with a clear but sore head) just to see if it was only emotion that I based it on but they really did give us a shafting.  Rowan pushed 2 players in the back to kick one of his goals, Cotchin got decapitated for play-on, Hannebery was pushed in the shoulder as he kicked for another shot and goal, just to name a few.  And WTF was with the boundary throw-ins??  They consistently threw it in towards Sydney's end all night, sometimes giving them a 20mt+ leg up!!

And if you get a chance, watch a replay of the Australian Of The Year at his cheating best when he stages a high hit and stays down on the ground as if he got whacked.  The replay shows he got a glancing blow across his upper arm but the cheating scum went down like he was shot.  Saw a revealing insight to his real character right there.

yes!!!!!! I  thought it was a bit extreme most of the night but kind of didn't let it get to me until there was a throw in deadset bang in the middle of the wing and they threw it in TOWARDS sydneys goal when they were kicking to the left of screen(cant recall if it was the 2nd or 4th qtr though

Why surely Campbell would know that he purposely  kills us
