It was 8-2 at quarter time and 12-3 somewhere in the second. The refusal to pay the same frees both ways is why the accusations of favouritism or cheating come. The coaching they receive has to be a contributing factor.

They just went with the mantra - #freekickcarlton

HQ answer to nobody. Can and do effectively whatever they like.

Takes a little while to get to sleep but over it by the next morning. That said did see a bloke in a Carlton cap while walking to the pub at lunchtime and my fist did get a bit twitchy.

Reality is it is sports entertainment now and HQ are in profit maximisation mode, so $$$$$ generating teams like Collingwood, Sydney and Carlton will get a better run than other teams. Carlton Collingwood GF would generate massive revenues, even if everyone else would rather the stadium implode.

As soon as I hear that, I know there isn't any. If there was, no need to mention it. Bit like 'at arm's length from Government', which means 'we interfere all the time'.

I reckon two six day breaks in a row is OK - we won 3 straight in 2017 like that, but the week after (another six day break) had an absolute shocker. It is the accumulation but the third break was one too many. Carlton have an 8 day break now.

It was an official score review though, as I'm guessing the ARC said 'hold play - score review'? Seems they looked for about 3 seconds but gave no indication on the decision other than the ball being bounced. There are games decided almost every week by terrible umpiring, and it seems the same teams benefit every time. If it isn't cheating then at the least it is bad coaching of the umpires. I think the umpires coaches are steering the umps in certain directions through instruction on what to look for.

Dirty [censored] cheats

Vince McMahon must be the umpires coach.

The media will say bugger all about the umpiring. An email will find them reminding who gives them accreditation.

Umpires save those [censored] again. Every [censored] time.

Cheating. Plain and simple.

By them and the maggots

Biggest wankers in the league. Worse than everyone.

Which jersey colour?

Hit backwards Maxy

He won't get weeks. Plays for the HQ team.

Umps not interested in being objective. They are coached a certain way to achieve outcomes.

Touched but camera the 1975 model.

It is umpires appreciate Carlton week. And Essendon of course.

So they can be 'interpreted' how HQ want

The Tracc no free changed everything. Umps know what they are doing.

Breathing on them is a free
