Every 50 50 decision went their way apposed to every 50 50 our way ignored. Was as blatant as ever seen in the AFL comp. Was disgraceful.

Papley and Heeney were untouchable today whereas any head contact on us was called play on.

The blatant cheating decision was Nank's mark. It was right in front of Ump #7 (Dalgleish) who had clear vision of it but he kept silent. It was the umpire 50m away in the centre of the groumd (Ump #4) who flapped his arms and called play on.

As I said in the game thread, our pathetic-ness hid a disgraceful umpiring display. Ump #4 (Power) should never umpire our matches ever again.

The Swans new they were getting everything.  They kept playing on after blatant frees against. The McIntosh hit was a classic example. Our players stopped expecting an obvious free and they played on and got another goal.

Not making excuses  that is plain cheating how many umpires on the ground now ? we should get a explanation.

i hate to be seen making excuses but i agree with all and sundry we got well and truly reamed this week.
Just another reason in a ever growing list why the game is becoming unwatchable.

Not sure if this was mentioned. It’s been brought up today that Hocking studied Richmond in the hub and then came the Man on the mark rule change.

So he obviously was teary after we tore the cats apart and went to school on changing our dominance.

More like Chris Scott studied us and told him to introduce the rule

We were simply terrible. Turnovers, dropped marks, like the game versus st Kilda late 2017.  Bolton dropped a mark first few minutes and never recovered, Edwards hand balling nowhere, caddy might have had zero good disposals etc. umpires over technical and swans were the beneficiaries. But no effect on the game: we were simply not on our game. I watched Carl versus Freo. Freo were raped by overzealous umpiring. The umpires wrecked that game. Conversely, the umpires in Melbourne vs gWS let the game go.

There was a quote on the news outlet about it.If that is true that is mind blowing how we can change rules because of a certain teams success and style of game.He is pathetic as a administrator and not accountable.

an article from a scott gullin bloke back in March. Cotch was the main culprit or beneficiary from standing the mark and gaining advantage.

does it surprise you given how much scott, hocking and cats in general hate us? Ben Dixon last night tried to draw a comparison to that rule change and the deliberate handball through for a behind change after the 08 grand final. I call garbage to that as once again that was a rule change was already in the pipeline after the bowden game.

Yep - complete myth that it was Hawthorn's GF tactics caused that rule change...they started banging on about it straight after that Bowden match v Essendon.....and of course the first player pinged under the new rule..Jordan McMahon from Richmond... :shh

The 6-6-6 rule was designed to stop us as well- but then we got Lynch..... :shh :shh

Even Purple Parrot's campaign to downgrade our Ellis compo was AFL orchestrated - he writes for their website...said nothing the year before re: WC's compo for Lycett despite it being an identical situation....flogs saying we're AFL pets now have NFI...they've screwed us over for years going all way back to the Lockett deal.. hell going all the way back to the 70's when the VFL changed the recruiting zones in middle of our last dynasty... :shh :shh :shh

Absolutely spot on Dio.  The reductions in the soft cap were aimed at us also.  They were designed to flush out the likes of Caracella, Leppa, Hartley and Livingston.  Whilst a few of those are gone they didn't count of Balmey agreeing to take a backseat role.

Also no coincidence that the AFL won't support Benny's appointment whilst we are dominating the competition.  They want to bring us down first.
