Unfortunately let me tell you that nothing will ever happen to solve this issue because according to the AFL, poor umpiring that affect results doesn’t happen, just like tanking never ever happens. Nothing to see, move on……
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

I'm sick and tired of seeing games decided by the umpiring like that. It completely ruins the spectacle.
9 or 10 extra for the match, and 10-2 in the last 1/4, that was disgusting and i really hope the lions say something

Really....it was that bad, 10-2 in the last. that is enormous, under conditions in which this is an elimination final, when supposedly the umpires are reluctant to call frees due to the decisive nature of the contest. I just don't get how umpires can be so incompetent. Ruin the spectacle, and break hearts as well.

FABULOUS game!
Went past the ball, looked straight at English and impeded him. A free kick every minute of any game.

Yeah, I didn't think the umpiring favoured WB. The "insufficient intent" free against Daniel when it came off the side of the boot? Huh? :shock:

We see this whingeing in this forum whenever WB win.

Just looked at the replay to see it again...

Yeah, went forward a long way past the drop of the bounce. Looked at English. Looked back up at the ball. Then tried to stretch his hand backwards for the ball, but was so far past it that he couldn't reach it.

Certainly, one of them was - but it was immediately reversed by a free kick the other way when Keath elbowed his opponent in the head in front of goal and the opponent pushed him in response.

This is nothing go over to big footy! Check out the lions forum , so many other supporters saying the same thing, it was an absolute farce. You got to be 50 up against them in a final , the Stars don’t lie. Look at their history of frees in a final. Look at each free, soft as shit they get it.

So you’re whining because Brisbane player gave away a stupid free kick in retaliation instead of taking the easy goal?

Margin should have been 6 points, Dogs robbed of a blatant push in the back free kick on the winning point.

I'm really impressed with the self control demonstrated by Brisbane fans at the venue.
I'd have been at the maggots race absolutely raining trash and liquids all over them as they left the field, and giving them the most vile gobful you can imagine.
They earned it; utter ****.

Hope Fagan his the roof with dipshit Gil and the maggot hierarchy.

THE worst two umpired SemiFinals I have ever seen.
All 6 imbeciles deserve to be cast to the shithouse; even the putrid moll Gloftis could have done a better job.

I think the afl is rigged to ensure the bulldogs win at any cost.

2016 the umpires blatantly cheated the whole finals series to win them a flag.

It's happening again.

Only issue is they also love Melbourne, hence their conundrum.
Buon Giorno
