Not being biased but probably the most one sided umpiring for the season!

When was the last time a player downfield was pinged for holding the ball after marking/catching a touched ball?  ::)

Did Bolton not tackle a player on the wing who just dropped the ball right before the kick inside 50 for grays winner????? :banghead :banghead :banghead

How can we only get 12 free kicks in a full game of footy. Around have of those were from out on the fulls too so they were giving us nothing from open play.


Spilled out in the tackle the umps were saying to our boys all night. Why tackle at all :banghead
It was bloody dropping the ball you pathetic umpire

Ahhhh the old spilled out in the tackle routine aka we don’t have the balls to make a call against the home team.....

How wasn't Gray deliberate is mind blowing he had one intention and that's all umpiring is disgraceful no balls to call it.

With Hocking in charge of the game we will have no hope of placing an enquiry into this farcical situation. Makes me wonder if match fixing is at play here...
The unfortunate situation being the standard is poor at VFL level so I cant see any improvement.

The Gray decision was correct as he was under pressure. The rule itself is wrong.

If he had done same thing 5 metres around from the point post, straight over the boundary then it would have been deliberate.

That's where the deliberate rushed rule is flawed. This idea of "pressure" is open to being abused.

For me the worst decision in the last and there were many was the non free to Lynch in front of the goal post he was basically choked around the neck.

The Robbie Gray deliberate behind was within the rules but I have no doubt in the world that if it were the opposite situation that a free kick would have been paid against us. Absolutely no doubt.
