Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Agree tipping anywhere between 3 to 5 50 metre penalties against. Tipping Curnow and McKay getting 3 to 4 goals from free kicks combined.



Free kick count +10 for Carlton.



35ish Carlton 25 Richmond


Majority of Richmond free kicks will be defensive 50
We won't get 25 frees.

I’m wondering what rule they are going to really crack down on tonight , penalizing us big time, but forget about for the rest of the round because of the outcry
We are the guinea pigs when it comes to in forcing new rules.
50's, in the backs, & holding the man. We be the ones they destroy us with tonight
 
Expectations seem very high here that only +10 frees to Carlton.

On the other hand I’ve been surprised how many in media have said we were unlucky to lose final and thought it shouldn’t have been overturned by ARC.

Who??? Have not heard any - they all seem to avoid the subject

Just watch the amount of frees the Carlton forwards get v ours.

Tipping a + 7 free kick differential to Carlton which, in all honesty would be a good result for us given how badly we get shafted week to week, year to year, by the AFL’s henchmen.
Don't forget that they'll get at least three more trivial 50 metre penalties on the night as well.

I wonder if ‘in the back’ Cerra has been practicing his moves for tonight.

FMFD! Prestia held, Bolton high, Rioli high, Taranto Deliberate and McKay throws it after being caught. Carlton prick gets knocked over and the *smile* maggot from the blindside pays high. The game is completely f'd
 
Jeezus. I know we have butchered the ball but can we just get a bit of a break from these *smile*? Its always the ones we don't get that hurt us.

I mean Prestia was held, no free. Why?

The deliberate against taranto - it was a monty. What option did he have?

I could go through the replay and find at least 10 potential frees that we could have got but didn't.

Nothing changes.

Yep. Just ridiculous how the same trend continues. Easy quick ones to oppo teams and we have to beg.
