Absolutely. Goody has been wrong playing him forward and for so long. He's simply not a forward. He lacks the strength and accuracy. He is however, a very good defender and needs to play there. Goody has been so stubborn in this. It's annoying. I'm sure most would agree he belongs in the backline. His contested marking count is too low as is his number of goals kicked. The latter under one goal a game. And it's not like he hasn't had a decent stint in to position. Come on Simon, let it go. Please.

Is that current situation with some AFL umps? I'm pretty sure it is but not 100 per cent sure.

Umpiring standard
It could be argued that had the umpiring been more consistent and fair we would have won. Therefore it is the reason we lost. I get the arguments for the many crucial errors that were made but it's simply an issue of just not having a decent standard of adjudication. The insufficient intent rule seemed to be applied on a whim. I know we made some horrendous decisions but so too did the umpires. I think it's a credit we did so well despite the umpiring.

It wasn't just the disparity, it was the inconsistent calls. In particular the insufficient intent rule. Also the places and timing when and where frees were awarded. And the pies got several frees for high contact. There is one pies player who is a master of milking these. And he sucks the umps in constantly. Also in the last quarter when we had momentum, the umpires simply plucked out several frees against Max for some unknown reason or rule. Most convenient at a time when we were dominating. Given yesterday's display, it's very hard not to think the umpires wanted to see the pies win. In other words, cheat.

Sure we had our chances. But full credit to us battling against a top team with umpires well below AFL standard. They should all be dropped to country footy until they can learn their trade. Probably the worse display of umpiring I've ever seen.

Bravo. We were exceptional today. Yes we probably lost it ourselves but would have won had the umps been a little impartial. Proud of the MFC today.

Either the most inept umpiring or blatant cheating. Either way it was disgraceful. A blight on such a big game.
