Female umpire

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

sigh

back to the cricket, then

Smith and Labuschagne in and they aren't exactly making it exciting and no Maxwell to come 

We miss Paxy’s input badly.

Between the idiotic carrying on and the injuring opponents with front-on high collisions and being ugly as f', she reminds me distinctly of a certain criminal from Collingwood.

They’re all so annoying. Their goal celebrations in particular. 

Hanks is being held at every stoppage. The fix is in

It is so frustrating, because we sit through the men's season and get frustrated & now this. However finals are different I hope next week 

Depends where you're playing. Adelaide will not be pretty.

That last dangerous tackle decision was just atrocious

 

Unfortunately Melbourne women have been shown to be a soft team against the top teams. Disappointing that both men and women get beaten up by opposition teams in big games. I just wish we would be the aggressors for once

You are spot on!

This umpiring is a joke. Free kick Brisbane

Getting physically beaten up.  Happened v crows and now v lions. 
The umps are once again very very poor.  

I think we've seen how important Paxy is, with her missing against both Adelaide and Brisbane.

She's smart and runs all day. And having that extra top level mid makes a massive difference.

They are fired up after losing to us in the granny and fair enough too.  We aren't good enough tonight

we needed to win to hold onto top spot

and we're definitely not winning...

Concerning performance heading into finals. Worst we’ve played for a long time

I get it that they’re fired up and I understand why. It’s their arrogance that I find super annoying. And their unnecessarily aggressive celebrations.

 Meh. We have some that do that too. Everybody does

Mids got mud on their hands? 

Finally a Hanks holding free. Only 3/4 too late 

Oh Bannon
