Big footy has named an umpire. I won’t repeat. That would be a cardinal sin.

He might be sharing a cell with the other Pell!

Given the blatantly biased umpiring and now this, the AFL has got some serious work to do to win back our trust. Umpiring bosses need to take a hit for this too, they were too busy enjoying their corporate lunches and let this go right under their noses.

Pell probably didn't crucify collingwood enough hence the action against him.

Look, a few of us have been saying for many years that some umpires displayed bias against Collingwood, and this kinda validates that thinking. However don’t ever expect the AFL to do anything that helps scrutinise bad umpiring because their heads have always been in the sand on this issue.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

Mason echoing what I’ve been saying for years, why the **** us the supposedly most prestigious individual award decided by the umpires when they are supposed to be adjudicating not watching!

I swear Tim Watson jacks off when a story about Essendon comes up.

Pretty sure the other Pell's conviction was overturned by the High Court :P
