the evidence is clear: - umpires do decide a game!

I wish just one day perhaps in a couple of finals, we’d get a run from the umpires like the dogs. Last year at the Gabba I believe 7 of their 10 goals against us came from a free kick. It was funny that today it was Essendon though

Ask Doggies supporters about the 09 prelim final!

Yep, 17 frees apiece...of course the dogs fans would be pissed. Used to having the rub of the green and when they have an even run they think they've been cheated.

Happy to see Essendon lose….yey….done go the Bombers in flames…hip hip hooray.

But no doubt, that Bulldogs forward milked the umps to a tee, and kicked four goals, at least three from ill deserved but sneakily gotten frees.

Tackled?
Easy. Duck into the corner of the armpit of the tackler raising the elbow to raise the tacklers arm and form a ‘noose’…Whistle…too high! Goal.
Exaggerate push after ..well after,the actual push..and after the umps attention is directed towards a potential free…Whistle goal..

I totally agree, Shane. I enjoyed the first 3 games of the weekend, but I found today’s game very frustrating to watch. This bloke Weightman has taken over the mantle from Toby McLean as the Dogs’ best milker, and is definitely on the competition dais with Selwood and Rhys Matheson.

Mclean is bad but hunter worse

... and the player calls the umpire a bad name.

Made my day!!!!

I know - small things!
