Can someone explain the advantage rule, Lloyd halfway through his kicking action after we get a free and the ump calls plan on advantage. Could have been a vital moment in the scheme of things, another clanger by the umpires who had an opportunity to bring it back and didnt. Last night confirmed that umpires are human and that when you have a team who hasnt lost at the G for 18 games against a team coming home like a stream train that the umpires can get caught up in the moment and clearly favour the opposition.

It was basically cheating imo.
As a Tigers supporter you walk away not talking about the game but feeling cheated even after a win.
The amount of times they were tackled and didn’t dispose of it properly was simply cheating.

Selwood is way to good a player to duck his like he does and should be called on it by the commentators. He consistently does it week in week out. 

The clubs needs to come out and make a formal complaint soon as this bias will cost us a game soon and potentially a big game.

They were allowed to replay an advantage that didn’t work out for them earlier in the game though.

I’m still in a bad mood about that crap last night.
Almost like losing on a Friday night and having the whole weekend to stew on it.

Enough is enough and something needs to be said imo. And not just tongue in cheek comments at a press conference but an offical complaint.
How can any club be on the wrong end of the free kick count basically the entire year??

Perfect example of the total bias against us, a Geeflog player heads straight at the boundry from 30 meteres, no one within cooee ...nothing nada crickets
Tigers payer goes long probaly clears 50-60 metres players in vicinity shape of ball cause to bounce out - Couldnt put these whistle in his pathetic little gob quick enough.
And whats with these umpires making decisions from 80 meteres away, pathetic excuses for humans stuff em all

If they want zones for the players then maybe the umps should zone 1-1-1 too and they can’t make a decision outside their zone. We’re constantly getting shafted by the furtherst ump.

Not expecting anyone to understand my mumbles
But short for Richmond got his arm pinned ball gone and head smashed into the ground in a sling tackle free kick Geelong
Collingwood the same but lucky if his head even touched the grass and they get the free
Umpires absolutely killing Richmond this year
It will get us when it counts I see it coming

Florent just got his head flung into the turf. Free kick Collingwood
And you may not think I care for you

Why cant RFC sit down with the AFL and umpires, go through the game on Friday, review every free kick and get them to explain why we are getting so badly reamed every week?

Not one but two illegal acts by the Geelong tackler on Short plus a MRP report equals #freekickGeelong :facepalm.

Just watching the replay.

First quarter Geelong had 3 clear HTB not paid against them. Two were Selwood. Surprise, surprise!

They also got a couple of soft ones for to high.

2nd quarter another 3 clear HTB not paid against Geelong while we had 2 that were paid against Mandue and Townsend that were extremely tough.

It’s like watching a completely different game with the inconsistency of the HTB decision.
