What moron at AFL House let the umpires wear pink tonight? Completely disregarding the other contentious decisions made by the umpires tonight, their uniform caused numerous turnovers, including at least 3 in the last. May have cost us the game

What happened to umpires wearing neutral colours. I'm sure if it was a normal dogs v dees game, the umps wouldn't be in red. An atrocious call by somebody to put them in pink.

Absolutely agree. I know the cause is good but FMD they looked too similar to MFC.

I am sure at one stage there was quick handball out of the centre by MFC in the direction of an umpire and there was no MFC player in cooee.

They should have given them a pink whistle to use then swallow.

I thought they were in red. Agree though,a disgraceful decision. Several time Melbourne players appeared to pass the ball towards an umpire.

Agree. Those pink umpires cost us at least two goals in the last. Someone should be shot.

+1.

It was Bartram who handballed it to the ump. And Brad Green has now kicked the non-goal of the year.

As someone who plans things for a living, I am utterly shocked that people can be this [censored] at their job and still get paid.

Why not dress the umpires in Melbourne jumpers next week... maybe it'll help them pay a decision in our favour for once! :rolleyes:

The umpires are NOT meant to be highlighted in a game in anyway - good causes or not.

Why the F&*K didn't they wear fluro green? Pack of Carmichaels!

Agree! Absulute joke, no one cares about the umps. The dees actually changing colors for a game, not enough?????

According to a caller to radio, we complained to the AFL during the week about the umpires' uniform only to be told it was bad luck and had already been decided. Hardly surprising when you have muppets running the joint.

If that is true it is an utter disgrace- however we should write to the AFL to lode the complaint because that was damning. They also had red, blue and white(Bulldogs colours in their veins-a downright disgrace.

So many things about tonights game absolutely shited me, and this- a 'wardrobe clash' which could and should have been avoided- could have cost us at least one goal- definately a forward thrust- and the two goal umpires getting overruled so easily especially when the first one said "im sure it was good" is just deflating. I am flat now, such a thin line- all we needed was to not get screwed over by the umps and I would have had a bloody marvelous night! Now I sit here contemplating how to get umpires personal information.. :(

The club should issue a please explain to the AFL.

What an absolute joke.

Out on the wing Brad green hit the ball over his head towards an umpire and the handball from junior I think it was into the corridor and was swooped upon by 4 doggies.

[censored] disgrace!

My thoughts exactly. Whoever decided they should wear pink should be sent to Siberia.

was listening to one of the radio stations on the way home and a caller confirmed that the club had complained to the AFL during the week re the clash between the ummpires and MFC. They were told more or less bad luck. It wouldn't have happened to Collingwood. Eddy wouldn't have allowed it. One day we too will have the same influence.

MFC ask for the ump to be to different colors tonight and where overruled

Of course.. Why would the AFL go back on a decision they have previously made or change something because of an outside request? That would make them seem weak.. The AFL has all the power; and they are too keen to make that known all the time. Stubbornly backing their decisions to no end with no regard for common sense. And who pays for it? The ones who don't make a noise about it and just cops it! Would this have happened to a more influencial (Collingwood) club? I think not!

just like the umpire running across the field to overrule the goal umpire who was less than a meter away. JOKE... Great game by the young guns today.

I think we should rally up every Melbourne supporter on this website and spam their emails with stuff about the umpires.

This [censored] can't keep happening

They might say something like "in hindsight maybe a different choice of colours may have been better, but we think it made no impact on the game at all..." or some crap like that!

Ahhhh.. the ol' "please explain"... This one will go down as getting royaly SCREWED over and no "please explain" can do [censored]! I hate the "system" Could you imagine if this happened in a final?

We obviously need a clash jumper for the Umpires. An appalling oversight by us. I look forward to the Umpires in the Hawks v Swans 'Kokoda' Game wearing brown and gold fatigues.

An absurd and incompetent decision by the AFL.

THe most senior of the people at the AFL involved in the decision must issue an apology.

Give em hell Dees fans.

Umpires dressed in pink which was red, I have never left a game so angry as I did tonight. So many UNBELIEVEABLE decisions made by those 3 fools.

On a happier note, another good effort by the boys.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
