We are a statistical anomaly. What a disgrace:

Don't want to make exuses but we a getting killed by these maggots everyweek.Today was shocking how many times holding the ball or dropping it.

Dudwick will say they did a good job. Meanwhile they are peeing themselves laughing at us

Problem is if the coach comes out and even has a subtle dig at the umpiring like "we got back in the game after half-time when it was 22 on 22", he'll cop an automatic $50k fine and a please explain from the AFL which will force him to apologise. You can't win. Obviously, going through "official channels" doesn't work either. That first half of umpiring especially was a joke.

yep thats why we lost, the umpiring.

lmfao.

we lost because we arent that great when it really counts.

first final locked in agaisnt the crows, loss and then a cut throat final after that. The pressure is going to be huge and this club proved today they still cant mix it with the big boys, hence why im predicting 0 finals wins for dimwit come GF day.

That second quarter killed the game though. Jack was getting held and driven into the ground every time it went into our forward line, our tackles were never rewarded while every single thing was  picked out in their forward 50. What about that rubbish push out in the second I think to Menzel to name just one? Wasn't even there. Should ask Short what he thought of Mackie's rushed behind too. These are goals denied from us and gifted to the opposition. No matter how well you play you can't control those things. The club needs to ask wtf is going on because it's every stuffing week.

A 7 - 20 free kick count against plus missed holds and pushes in the back against Jack in front of the sticks in the second qtr, was a joke. It doesn't excuse our stuff ups but we got right royally screwed especially in the first half. Umps got sucked in by the feral Geelong home crowd.

[Slipper]

The entire AFL community knows the umpiring is garbage. Inconsistent is about the most positive thing you can say about it.

But seriously, we didn't lose today because of the umpiring.

If people want to blame the umpires, so be it. I think it is just a distraction.

[Owl]

the umpires sunk the slipper in

Question needs to be asked.Like I said doesn't makes exuses but it was plane ridiculous and killed the game.
