Cheating by the umps

 

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark?

Umps back to their std form

STD - quite appropriate really.

    Is it super greasy, or have we forgotten how to mark a ball, or both? This is horrible to watch.


    We've let them back into the game because of our dreadful finishing

    Second half will be a grind

     

    I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. 

    We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football.

    Really disappointing.

    Because he didn’t control an easy mark and was too busy looking where he was going to kick it before he took control of the ball

    We should be 30 points up.

    But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself.

    Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back.

    Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

    Umps aren’t influencing this game. Our poor execution is though.

    Aside from a couple of 50/50s that have gone their way I didn’t the umpiring was too bad. But then again I did watch the dogs game last night so perhaps I have been desensitized.

    Most frustrating game since the hawks draw.

    We really are so much better than them - but poor execution, missed simple handballs... ugh. So frustrating

    Terrible game of footy. We need to get back to basics, commit the body and just bank 4 points tonight. We’re in poor form so far this year, but like good teams do we’re grinding out wins despite not paying well.

    Trac having a bad night.

    Need more from Harmes, Kozzie, Friita and Tmac.

    Sw our best forward.

    Seriously I hope Goodwin tells them to get back to basics & get back to what we did well in that 1st quarter.

    We tried to do a bit to much that quarter when we just had to do the first option.

    It isn't pretty to watch

    Oh and kicking goals would be a good start

    Whoever said we’re playing like millionaires is spot on.

    Gotta get back to a more contested game style.

    It's like watching 10 years ago.

    100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play.

    Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
