last quarter was a farce too, they had two sets of tackling without the ball rules.  it was 8-1 at one stage.  We didn't deserve a win though.  We look slow, fumbly and poo, second to the ball a lot and predictable.  Every game they know where we are gonna swing it for a handball and are waiting.  There is a lack of that click going on that we used to have.  Team has changed a lot except the glamor gang.

If that's the way they want the game umpired then they shouldn't be surprised crowds are down. We don't go to watch the umps wreck a game. #1 might as well have wore a Suns jumper.

Do you ever read a post properly? :shh

How was umpiring in the last quarter when it most mattered? :shh :shh

Terrific, just terrificTM,

Jack,

Yes the umps were crap but your job is to kick goals and you missed the ones you should have kicked

Can i suggest you focus on that  >:(

But they did crucify us, umpiring this year has been at it’s all time worst in my time of watching it. I can honestly say I’ve only felt like the umpires have cost us games of football a handful of time over many years watching the tigers .... this year I can nominate 3 or 4 games that have cost us this year alone.
