Can't blame the umpires for this complete capitulation by the Tigers. We are our own worst enemy and play into the umpires hands

Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

I actually thought the umps weren't too biased, except the opening goal shocker, which was the margin, but up until the last 5 minutes they were just generally crap and whistle-happy, without favouring them too much, you expect a bit up there.
But the last 5 minutes, geez, they just wanted to get Sydney home. No outright clangers so TBR will be fine, but just a series of frees that could have been paid not paid, then the non-50.
seriously, how was the earpiece conference, thats a new thing? Didn't hear the whistle? Bolton has given away 2 in the last 2 weeks when he didn't hear it.
Bummed, but that's footy.

Crucial decision that decides game you go back and rewind it and watch. Heaney props grabs Bakers arm slings himself forward so Baker cannot stop mowmentum and falls into his back. The correct decision is either play on or actually holding the man against Heaney for grabbing Baker and pulling him down of course he gets the free kick Franklin gets the 50 and the game is over from then on other than the rubbish decision at the end which absolutely made the game over
Shouldn't the Swans player be reported for time wasting for that last kick over the fence when the game was not over? That is aside from the 50 meter penalty.
Nah, we shot ourselves in the foot time and again by petulance and screwing up when it counted
A bunch of swans resembling a junior high drama class with their poor acting all night. Unfortunately umps responding in second half like work experience teachers of that class rewarding effor rather than skill. Heemey in particular unforgivable
Same here. Didn't bother watching the last quarter to save some sanity.
What a debacle. The initial free wasn't there, but there were a heap prior that weren't paid, but once it was paid, then it should have been 50, full stop. The conference shouldn't have happened. The ump wanted to pay it was talked out of it in his earpiece!
