Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

I don't know who 34 for hawthorn is, and I never want to know. But those multiple blshit free kicks paid to him for constantly ducking and diving are just disgraceful against our game and completely shameful from a hawthorn / afl player. What a shameful act of football cowardice that player displayed. Why does the afl in any way condone such cowardice
That'd be the Divvi Vans bestie, little Nick the Wizard Watson. Just another serial drop n shrug player.
 
i thoguht they were much better on us than usual - with two exceptions - rewarding all ducks bar one on ginni, and kosi and lynch being interfered with constantly. 25th time in 28 attempts at NOT winning the free kick count, i thought we deserved to win this one something like 18-14, ended up 15-15, by our standards, that's luxury
But how many of our free kicks were in defensive 50. It is truly laughable.

Think they call him the Wizard, well that’s what the guy behind was saying. He kept repeating Dusty’s stats with his booming voice and I just turned to him and said, ‘seriously, you’re having a go at Dusty’. He politely said ‘nah only joking, I love the guy’, then continued to repeat his stats. I know now why I don’t like going to the game, I just lose it at the umpires and the oppo crowd and I end up not liking my behaviour very much.

From the AFL match centre interchanges made
How can the Dorks have 26 more interchanges than allowed?

This should be reported.
They'd probably get a $10.00 fine for every interchange over the permitted count. There's an official interchange steward at every game to make sure things are done correctly so that prick should be sacked for taking money under false pretenses.
Hawforn shouldn't have been permitted any further interchanges once they reached the legal limit, they'd have been stuffed from 3 qtr time. Cheated n burgled the game, should be an investigation and the win forfeited with placings n prize money redistributed. Yay we legally won Dusty's 300th.

Time for us to launch the 'please explain' to these corrupt pricks.

Old Mother Superior Kane will probably give them a good talking to and a fine for appearance’s sake and that’ll be the end of it. They’re not Richmond you know, we’d probably lose draft picks for doing it.

15 frees a piece (which is pretty good for us), 6 F50 frees to them. 2 to us.

They were woeful. Woeful. Aside but related to that, watching Watson think through how is going to duck at the next contest is just plain painful to watch.

The AFL are so high and mighty about protecting the Head yet they encourage the behaviour by rewarding deliberate ducking of the head to milk a free. The Jack Ginnovan school of diving was on full display yesterday and he has taught his peers very well. This behaviour should be punished not encouraged

Absolutely and I was saying the same thing yesterday. "The head is sacrosanct" but if you duck and put YOUR head in the vulnerable position you are rewarded??? What??? Only in the AFL could you get that sort of hypocrisy.
