Umpiring (Demonland in meltdown)
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.

What do you do following a loss?
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'.

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.
