It's a conflict of interest when the governing body also owns the franchise.

That’s second quarter was just blatant cheating.

just hope for the skunks to be bundled out
I'm bitter and twisted enough without the Skunks taking out the flag.

I'm still in shock over some Saint fans on here taking happy snaps with that feral Joffa :shock:

Anything that makes the Head Cheerleader's head explode in the Geelong coach's box is good.

Especially after the performances of Umpires Selwood, Ablett & Dangerfield when we last played them.

West Coast out, in spite of a 16 - 6 half time free kick count. Pleasing.

The fact that number 12 gets to umpire a major final is testament to the paucity of good umpires

So inconsistent last night, minutes of play with no whistle and then a sudden frenzy of whistling

What I’ve never seen before on an AFL coverage was the graphic of ‘last 10 frees’ with the team logo like they do for inside 50’s or scores or whatever - Eagles had 9 of the 10 ! But I was just thinking wow I would have liked to see that during some of the saints games as we got murdered again by the umps

Do the frees need to be even?

Didn’t know it worked like that...

No they have to be consistent. We want consistency something that we fail to get on the right side of the ledger of that.

Now for Richmond to knock out Geelong. Speaking of umpiring, is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Selwood, Dangerfield and Ablett are whiners on field when things don’t go their way? If a kick goes against them, they whinge like little kids and try to umpire the game instead of just getting on with it.

The parasite trio of Duckwood, Dunginfield and Giblett have been whinging grubs for ages bro. It’s part of their Geebung makeup

So much of Richmond depends on Dusty, and if he goes well, they go well, if not, the whining Cats will win

So is consistency an equal free kick count?

This is confusing.

Umpiring seemed alright to be on Friday night.

Hey CURLY, have you had a chance to critique the referee at the Australia vs Spain basketball match?

Geelong got two goals from dodgy marks, how does that fit in to the free kick count?

Watched the game and didn’t notice the umpires.

I am now even more confused, who do they cheat for and against other than the saints?

You’re right, very confusing.

Getting a sense we don’t like west coast getting frees but somehow now don’t mind Geelong getting frees? When did we start supporting Geelong?
