Noticed stricter decisions of short kicks being called play on by the umpires? So have the clubs.

Clubs are preparing their players for tighter umpiring on the 15-metre kick being called play on after the AAMI Community Series and Opening Round games.

Free kicks, Dogs 14 pies 33 last night, bloody woeful, felt sorry for the doggies getting mauled so rapaciously by the umpires.

The last 3  minutes game on the line and the umpiring g was diabolical

Deliberate paid that shouldn't have been

 Contact below the knees by Quaynor not paid... Hopper must be scratching his head

And another deliberate by the umpires favourite protected species and they call for a throw in

They were pathetic last night

The standard of umpiring this round is at an all time low.

Friday obviously set the benchmark and now the remainder are playing catch up

When you in Adelaide and a Port supporter behind you says "how can that not be free, we took the tiger kids legs out" you know  it's bad
