Another stellar weekend for the umpires...it gets worse week after week
Yes we won the free kick count but today it was not about the number of frees but rather momentum killer moment
Below is what I've just posted on the match day thread
"I know we were never likely to win but yet again the umpires have heavily influenced the game at a crucial time.
In the 3rd about 10-15 mins in & we were still in the game that touched ball by Brown that wasn't called and led to a very soft goal to Carlton, from there the heads dropped and they scored 3 or 4 in the space of 10 minutes. Game over!
I was right behind that kick and it was clearly touched, you could tell simply by how it deviated and floated. That an ump less than 10 metres missed it is disgraceful but no surprise considering how bad the standard of umpiring is right now
Would it have changed the result? Probably not but it certainly was a momentum killer and when you have such a young side out there the impact is huge"
