THROWN OUT !!!!

Very nice!!

Was a weak report to begin with, and a usual over-reaction from the umpire.

By the way, was I the only one who nearly threw up when bloody McLaren popped up in the game when the other umpire went down? That idiot just will not go away.

And of course the AFL are not taking any action against him, although he clearly fended off a Collingwood player during the match!

Scotty, Scotty.

He's in my good book at the moment though. Boundary throw in right in front of me - I called out "Scotty, give us a free, c'mon mate" and then "pick one out" or something along those lines. Sure enough, at the next contest he pulled one out.

One of the worst day's umpiring I've seen in a while. We got so many unwarranted frees. Still trying to figure out what Petterd's free was for in the pocket

I had a good veiw of it, he was being held, as the ball floated over his and Newmans heads he tried to move for it and you could see his jumper being stretched, it was pretty soft though, much like a few others we got

No you're not Jaded, I too almost cried when I saw McLaren come off the bench. I quite dislike the man.

As for the Collingwood incident, I disagree with you. Both player and umpire were running to the next contest, both seemed to have their eyes on the ball, and as McLaren neared O'Bree, he reflexively raised his arm. The contact was negligible. Comparisons between this incident and Heath Shaw's are ridiculous: one was intentional, the other wasn't. I have no problem with the AFL taking no action.

Yeah as per usual the umpiring was inconsistent. The free paid to Nathan Brown that gave them their second goal was atrocious.

My dad saw McLaren with his young children in a park near Balwyn. My dad said he couldnt believe it when he saw the kids having a kick of the footy while 'Daddy' was umpiring the same way as if he was on TV. "No you've fallen into his back..thats a free..can't do that". What a [censored]. Pity those children

It's my wifes fault. She'd only just finished pointing out that he was emergency/reserve or whatever they call 'em selves when the other bloke went down and he popped up.

That's made my day.....I can imagine, "No, don't answer back son, ok, that's 50 metres.......more back chat...another 50m!"

A Dad playing with his kids in a park and you get on here and kick him in the guts for it. I know who the [censored] is.

Scott McLaren has kids?!!?!??!

Oh [censored], I'd better find a new career, because I sure as hell aren't going to teach them!

McLaren should be droppped for failing to make significant contact with that Collingwood Pissant!
