[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

Umps are really lifting 

[Chook 15,013]

I’ve never been so sure that the umpires were trying to influence a match than tonight’s Geelong vs Port match.

[whatwhat say what 22,771]

This umpiring is diabolical

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

Geelong make me sick...!

[Chook 15,013]

Has an umpire ever called play-on for a player taking too long kicking at goal before?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Geelong win again thanks to the umpiring and their fans will, once again, celebrate like complete [censored] jockey's.

An unbelievable decision.  As he was lining up a host of Geelong players were signalling for 'play on' and encroaching on the mark before it was even called.  Can't believe it.

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

The competition is as even as it's ever been and I think it's really putting the umpires on show, everyone is seeing how poor they really are.

Was that a crooked kick or did he just lack the balls to go for goal?

Killing the game

Last week the Umpires didn't call Ben Brown to play on, 40 seconds into his set shot.

They were correct tonight.

incorrect last week.

He was asked to play on as he was lining up for goal and didn't realise until almost 3 Geelong players were tackling him.  He had to quickly give it off and the rest is history.  Port were robbed.

Port were absolutely robbed.

Umpires have ruined this once great game. Cheating [censored] scum

Yeah but he’s from North Melbourne so he obviously doesn’t count as an AFL footballer.

[bringbackthebiff 654]

Watching the countdown clock on Sunday and I reckon most time players from both sides went over time. I assumed that the rule was mainly a common sense thing. Once again umpires have proved that common sense isn't all that common. That was borderline cheating! 

[Adam The God 30,261]

Cannot wait for these flogs to topple down the ladder. All it will take is a Selwood or Dangerfield injury.

They did more ducking and diving than a bloody duck.

Give me the shits more than any other team I reckon.

[Stinger 463]

It's really sad, but terrible one-sided umpiring is really starting to make me like the game less. Cats got handed that win, umpires folded every time the crowd made a noise. Selwood still ducks his way to free kicks regardless did of an attempt to stamp it out. I just want consistently umpired games, is that so bloody much to ask!?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Should have been a 50 metre penalty prior to the call of play on.  Umpire was looking right at it as well.  Pathetic from the umpires.

This is exactly right. Brown used his full 30 seconds and THEN he began his approach. And tonight the umpires get trigger happy with Dixon. My God I hate the AFL. We were completely screwed (even as we screwed ourselves).

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Find if hard to believe Danger's kick wasn't touched. Somehow miraculously weaved it's way between the port player's arms and torso. Not even reviewed. 

Talk about letting the crowd atmosphere drive the result.

[brendan 3,437]

Must be rule of the week the umpires have obviously been told to keep an eye on the 30 seconds, Ben brown takes 30 seconds just to run in

Every goal is reviewed but port players never claimed it was touched, they would have been going nuts if they knew they touched it
