Umpires have been shockingly one sided. They ruin games more than help these days. Hopefully they have money on us tomorrow night.

Shouldn’t be playing Finals. Totally outclassed, much as I hate to say it.

The umpires swinging momentum Carlton's way just as I thought they would.

Umpires are just shithouse this year. They've ended the game now.

Carlton got about three holding the balls when the ball spilled, let it go their way.

Last night was at least close. This is over already. Might as well switch off now.

I just hate watching the umps fixing games because you know they'll screw us so that one NSW team goes through.
You know they won’t mate…

I watched a couple of WAFL finals over the bye weekend and the umpiring is so much better in those games than the AFL.
They don't try to impact games the way AFL umpires do or show any bias, you barely notice them which is what good umpires should do.
Watching AFL games the umpires are such a big factor and they pick and choose which teams they will favour which usually isn't St Kilda.
We've got a decent run this year though for the first time in ages, hopefully having the majority of support tomorrow they will be on our side.
Imagine if this joke of a team cost us finals. Would have been very close to it had the dogs not choked.
We as a society can finally stop considering Sydney a good team.

Not yet, it is the Blues and this is time for the dreaded dead cat bounce where half time happens and whoever is losing thanks F for the momentum break so they can reset through nothing but providence.
If by halfway through the 3rd they're still 5 goals back, then stick a fork in them, but the Blues have a soft underbelly.

I like having a go at the umps as much as the next person, but to be fair, we’re pretty much at the top of the table for free kick differentials this year.
Someone posted a table a while back.
Means nothing in this “new season” now, I suppose.
