After Roos comments about the umpiring against Sydney,I reckon we'll have 20 players against us this week.
You just watch us get a bath by the 2 umpires who will be bog for Sydney.

I dont think it has ever been any different for us when we played the swans smasha anyway.

Even to this day, i cant believe the day that richo did the knee up there in 95, Dunkley for the swans had his hands fairly and squarely in Richos back and was pushing into the fence, and it was a throw in only.

Richo's season is over because of a direct push in the back, putting him off balance and needing to pull up because the fence was beckoning and Dunkley doesnt even get freed.

So dont worry roosy, we are not the bombers, its back to the usual for you now.
 
Last week he din't even need to dive, smasha - he just put his hand up, and they gave him the free ???

Richo never gets frees and lloyd dives and gets frees at will.
+Shame umpires and afl.

Weren't the AFL going to clamp down on staged free kicks? Or does staging only count when it's a reportable offence
 
Hi all,
Why don't our blokes ever complain to the media about free kicks. In both the Collingwood and Melbourne games we got crucified by the umpires. Richardson had 3 players hanging off him and that #%&*head Vozzo or Bozzo deemed that Richo was the instigator.
I know there aren't alot of things going right at present but why does our lot seem to accept these things so meekly.
Are we too scared of being accused of spitting while venting our rage.
Anyway that's my spleen cleared.
 
According to talking footy - we are in the top 3-4 for teams awarded free kicks inside the attacking 50 for the past 3-4 weeks.

Yeah, with Richo back, we'll get zip! :mad:
 
Thanks for that Harry. I was just going to say I think we've had a pretty fair run, on the whole, this year.

Let's face it guys, very few games are decided by umpires. The players control the destiny of the game, along with the coaches.

Let's just support our blokes and let the umps do their job.
 
I put this thread up so we will not be hoodwinked by the afl 's umpires-especially after Roos outburst.
 
I dont think we shuold go in with the mentality that Sydney will get looked after. Ive never been a big fan of complaining about umpires unless its really blatent.

In saying that, we have been so lucky over the past month. Some of the decisions paid our way have been an utter joke...how about that 7-point play Gas got against the Cats? Comical!!!
 
I'm saying that let Frawley get up between now and the weekend and state that we are now concerned after Roos' outburst that we're going to end up with the bad end of the stick with free kicks.
 
Tell me this who do we all think are the 3 worst umpires in the comp.

My Votes :)

3. Allan

2. GoldSpink

1. Mclaren


If we get 1 of them 3 mark me down for the swans this week :mad:
 
The worst, by a long way, is Dore.

We won't be getting him this week :)

I still haven't stopped laughing ;D
 
We are in the top 4 for frees in the 50 metre zone, because we get it in there so infequently, and that is a fact!!!
 
:'( Richo when will the umps give him the free kicks that are there. Hall or richo who will get the most free kicks this week gee i wonder.
 
because Richo is a champ, he actually tries to take on the defenders hanging all over him & they either think that both of them are wrestling (so they let it go) or he gets pinged himself. Just be like that *smile* Lloyd who throws his arms up in the air if someone as little as farts around him. :mad:
