Umpires were actually deplorable at so many key moments tonight. Not withstanding we butchered it time and time again, but seriously ... mind boggling decisions at crucial times 

Least of our issues. Umpires arent causing the continual brain farts, fumbles, lack of leadership, continued repeated mistakes etc.

wow these umps..

[waynewussell 4,081]

Oh, the old kicking in danger comes out... do the analysis on that ump!

Totally agree, but the 4 goals as a direct result of bull shot frees certainly doesn’t help

Am I alone in thinking hunt has been good tonight ?

not good enough, tackles to the softer side of the tackleee...  missing out on  upsetting the disposal.

Hhunt does not have what we need.

I'm disappointed in what I've seen of him so far this season.

It’s very hard to win when we are playing two short each week. That number 5 and 7 aren’t playing for us anymore.

Its more our structure, that isn't working any longer...  666 has unpicked the zone.

And our Mids setup has been worked out, and worked over.   We no longer control the centre bounces.

I disagree with the middle.  We no longer control it when either of Viney or Jones go through there.  They are turtle paced and just end up giving a handball to a player under even more pressure as a result.

The minute neither of them play through there we start looking more mobile.

Clarry's also had a very ordinary night by his standards.

Anyone blaming the umpires is kidding themselves. Spine Wied, TMac, OMac, Frost = years of heartbreak. This team is absolute crap.

[MaysSoreGroin 23]

Waited 6 months just to be served up this tripe

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,567]

This game is gigged

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Just cant believe this....

[waynewussell 4,081]

Oh the block on Stringer rule.... Do the analysis on that umpire

[Hellish Inferno 992]

The game is ridiculously over-officiated. You can just hear Carey cringe

[DSP 1,488]

What a disaster

[—coach— 3,466]

Now Harmes learns how to kick ?

[monoccular 16,008]

Waiting for Goodwin presser ..... better effort, 100 points plus for the first time, no mention of being toweled up by a cellar dweller, with limited rotation for much of the game.

All too familiar.

Definitely need on field leaders, of whom we have NONE. 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Draw anyone?

[Earl Hood 5,787]

Umpires have officially lost the plot!

[censored] off. They have made disgraceful decisions all night in scoring position. 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,567]

Umpires are a discrace.

poxy footy

Frost is a [censored] dear in the headlights. Thanks everyone but I’m outta here for a while. Over 30 years of supporting this club and this really hurts. Imagine how good it would have been if I had waited a bit and picked west coast...I’m from Perth and just went too early

I would have thought I was pretty clear in saying notwithstanding us butchering the ball. I assume you had a brain fart yourself and completely missed that part of my comment. 

[waynewussell 4,081]

Now before you start kicking the guts out of our team... analyse the influence the umpires have had on the result
