Thank you so much. Not just the ones not paid but 11 frees to Carlton in the first to our three was putrid. That's equivalent to 44 to 12 for a game. Who wouldn't object to that? Most of them were just soft gimees and then in the last quarter the umpires remember there is a htb rule. Instead of all the ones they missed prior. I really hope we ask for an explanation but it won't change anything. Umps seriously looked like having an agenda tonight and that free called dangerous helped them achieve it. Despite our poor start we would have won if the umpires did their job without bias. They got sucked in four times with dob by the crowd. Cowards . It really puts one off the game when they get umpired like this.

I would have subbed Woey on at half time. That was slow from Goody. Tracca fwd was great but Goody missed that one.

Yes but that's all they'll admit. Forget the 11 to 3 anomaly of putrid softies that helped a five zip insurmountable first quarter lead. The game was won with that and then lost by the one they might decide to admit. It's a double whammy. Because we were good enough in the end but despite the anomaly we were putrid at the start. Jack Viney was missing first three quarters. Our 3 tall fwds were missing and with Fritta down that's all folks. Full credit to Tracca tonight. Anb was great for me. What a painful loss from a game that could have at least been a draw if we could have pushed a point on the first. Again to not score on the first quarter means our preparation is really out of whack. Are we meditating beforehand? It's a strange way to play.

Our midfield were sound asleep at the start. It's happened three times this year. What are they doing before the game. Watching TV?

Thanks GC Dee. I thought the 11 frees in the first was an utter disgrace. An actual blight on the game. Ok we played poorly but take away Mays touched ball the only one the video can't decide on and that cheating effort that got a free for dangerous tackle and we Won by two goals. So the umpiring did cost us a game no matter how we played. It's a absolute poor effort by the umpires tonight. Maybe the Afls needs to ask questions about this one and how the blues lead the free kick differential by so much. It really is disappointing to see a game ruined by such poor performances from them. Dock their pay or check if they have betting accounts.

You can't beat the umpires. We almost did but they have the whistles. The end of the day it the umpiring was a bloody dogs breakfast. What a fitting end with a free.

Blues fans must surely be tired from booing all night.

Gee well probably lose by the touched goal and the staged free dangerous tackle.

I know we have played poorly but some even handed umpiring would have us almost even. Good night folks. Sorry about the umpires. We knew it would happen. I just hope someone actually addresses it. Expose that 11 to 3 start and the five goals to zero that came with it . Not that we really deserved a win but nobody likes dodgy umpiring.

That's it I'm giving this game away. That is just fair dinkum cheating. That could have been the spark. That player is a cheat and should be suspended given the head protection.

Wow Petty took a mark. A target in the middle.

Yep. We are supposed to have the best midfield about. I know Traccas fwd but it's really struggling this year. Gee the umps make up the htb rule hot and cold

Bit our midfield has let Carlton walk it in unencumbered. Add an impotent three talls fwd in Petty, Turner and Jvr and we were always in trouble. Since we have gone down fighting I'd suggest we need to fix our pregame routine. Why were we so flat at the start? Jard to account for that start. Exactly the same as lions and tigers ( ha ha) games. Shocking sleepy start with fightback later. Not good enough

I really haven't seen Viney do a lot this year. I don't like to say it but he's having a low season and probably why our midfield seems flat

Sadly may have got too excited about Petty so soon. Anb has been great. Who knows maybe the blues will expire. There was some sloppy play at times but we outscored. I just think that five goal bump to zero is too much. I am so angry about how the umps were giving away frees in the first. It will come back to bite us And to hear blues supporters whinge is not helping.

Absolute dogs. All of them.

Well it's not fatigue. I need to say since blues had their 11 of 13 their frees in the first to our 3 and that they kicked five zip can't just be a coincidence. That's a big difference. Sure we have played better but the umps certainly did their part.

Gee we have ruled this quarter. Lost it at the start with being asleep and some shocking umpiring. Remove the latter from the first quarter and we would be down by two or three goals.

Sorry for the repeat posts. Phone playing up. I'd sub Woey on for Chin. Surely. I don't think I've seen blues penalized once for htb. Funny last week it was 7 out of 10 frees .

I was going to say our backline has imploded tonight but if our midfielders let them waltz it out of the middle then it's tough. Pickett fence you were right Jvr is having a rough season. Kozzie simply took his eyes off the goal then. Looked away for some strange reason and missed What a shame we let the blues kick the first five. We have responded well this quarter. Of course the umpires haven't given Carlton another dozen frees in the 2 nd and 3 rd. Gee there have been some really unforced and lazy efforts by not a few tonight. I hope Goody drops a few. Billings one.

It's been ridiculous tonight. Haven't paid it once and on last week's standard there's been a dozen gone missing. By is a dead set nong.

One things for sure blues supporters are on par with the filth.

What's gone wrong tonight? After our huge success in SA we were shocking against the lions and questions arose where we were at Then we play a ripper against the Cats and come out tonight exactly like the lions game. Is it fatigue.? Overconfidence? Easily contented? Are we overdoing the training during the week? Something is not quite right. Is it just poor preparation before games. This is a team of off or on apparently.
