Stupid Umpire

What a pathetic decision! Frawley's unpaid mark, really cost us. Why we hate 'em!

Don't make me start on Hale's staging

Agree with you both - and I have just had a whinge on another thread about the umpiring. He may as well have had his North Melbourne socks on!

 

C'Mon people no way the umpire cost us the 4 points

We got outplayed in the first half and it took North quite a while in the first quarter to open up a gap

We had a bad half and we made an effort to peg back the deficit but we couldnt go on with it in the final quarter

Thats the reality of a young and inexperinced team and i expect a few more till the seasons end

We supporters have seen 4 good performances since being belted by the hawks

We didnt win today because we didnt win enough contested possesion and the clangers were back

26 point loss could have easily been 60 except some of our players showed character and that included our youngsters

We have made the statement already that we are NO LONGER THE EAYBEATS

Be pleased that we have improved and we will keep on improving

But dont blame umpires for today


North deserved the 4 points! No doubt.

But the umpiring did definitly snuff us out of a challenge in the last quarter. 3 goals given by umpire no. 6 to North killed the game.

Well said.

We were outplayed by a team that will rival us in the top 8 over the next 5 years; umpires will be umpires, can't do anthing about that

yeah the umpires cost the MFC the game :rolleyes:

How about accepting the fact that they were outplayed today, straight from the opening bounce. MFC were lucky to only lose by the 26, the shots on goal NM should have nailed, MFC were let of lightly today.

Dismal performance today.

No one's saying that today's poor umpiring cost us the game, not on this thread that I read that is. What is being said is that there was some poor umpiring today, and some of those questionable decisions cost us goals.

Umpires like players should not be above criticism. I know they're human but some are more human than others :)

Umpires didn't cost us the game, but there was some really annoying soft frees given to North, especially in that last quarter, which just makes you frustrated. Playing 1 quarter of footy cost us the game.


We must not blame umpires for losses of football games or even criticise them. Our players make far many more mistakes than the umpires. Are you forgetting about the 50m to young trengove which was really an 80m penalty allowing him to kick a goal in the 3rd quarter. Yes there are mistakes but that is football.

a great post swampy, summed up perfectly

Yes. The final margin flattered us today.

I think the final amrgin was a fair representation. North definitely deserved the win, and 4-5 goals 'feels' about right.

The umpires gave us hell, it was appalling. A bigger margin would have reflected that, more than reflecting the contest itself.

Well said. We didn't deserve to win, just like Collingwood didn't (but they did!). The umpiring yesterday was below par for an AFL game, and it probably cost us the most.

This thread was started in the passion of the battle (just after Frawley's mark was disallowed, costing us the goal). Calmly reflecting on the game, we lost because we didn't do for 4 quarters yesterday what we did to beat the Lions. We will learn plenty from yesterday.

Moving on, and looking forward to Fri night and particularly Warnock v. big Barry!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
