It's so obvious how teams are umpired differently. GWS doing well to be ahead against these interpretations.

Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

To blame anybody other than Grimes for that terrible piece of play is ridiculous
Ooze lets out hints against these flogs in the presser. No fake love like Dimma did.
We didn't lose because of the umps, we lost because they killed us in the first half, they were good we were terrible, but there's no doubt in my mind the umps made sure there would be no hail mary miracle comeback in the last Q. There probably wouldn't have been anyway, but they made it a certainty.
Isn’t it amusing that that rule didn’t get enforced last year when we played the suns at marvel. Suns player was probably 15-20 away from goal, no Richmond player within probably about the same distance from him, he handballs ( or kicks it, I can’t remember) through the points. Nothing.
And another thing, tonight’s game, umpire yells out stand 5-6 times with increased urgency each time to a giants player. No 50
GWS have fared badly with the umps and Collingwood are the umps love chlld so I figure GWS would be feeling fortunate to only be 6-12 on the frees count.

I agree.
But earlier in the game GC got a goal and Grimes got tackled to the ground and no free. Was that still playing on his mind? That was a very poor non decision by the umpire.
Has there been a rule change? That one paid against Broad in the last was a joke
yeah I noticed that.
new rule?
if a player doesn't stand the first time, yell at them 6 more times, or until they do stand.
*smile* me
I was expecting a 15m penalty
I can't believe that goal stood. Grimes never had the ball, tackled to the ground hard, but the umps don't see it.
Shai was also tackled without the ball in our F50 and no free was paid for him either. These are the most obvious frees but the ones they pick out are things like that rushed behind against Broad.
AFL will tick it off becaus the clause that talks about opportunity to dispose of the ball. Broady had a chance to kick it but didn't. Would have been a dump kick anyway.
They didn’t come running they did a Usain Bolt sprint.
2 out their 3 second half goals were umpire influenced.
I really don’t understand why that was a free as I thought it satisfied the criteria to be allowable.
Can someone explain it ?
