Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 19 - Port v Cats Sat July 23rd 4:35pm EST (AO)

[Hoops]

Why are we one of the few teams who never get hometown umpiring?

more booing required

 

[kaiserchief13]

A little weird that we are in front, but OK.

Weird? Just typical Geelong umpiring carrying them

 

[Del165198]

Well that's it, we've tried our best for a quarter and still ended up behind thanks to the scumps. Can see us giving up from here and getting blown out.

Bye Hinkley!

 

[PurpleHearts]

Umpires heavily favouring one side. Just checked its a Geelong game. Nothing new here

 

[Adz2332]

Geelong getting an arm chair ride. Disgusting

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

One of life’s great mysteries isn’t it. Allir knows it hit the ground, I believed I saw it hit the ground on TV as it happened, umpire in perfect position - Mark.

 

[Troopsy]

Port players should probably stop giving away frees. Certainly been caught with the footy enough

Lol every neutral supporter says Umps are blatantly in favor of Geelong. Jog on mate.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

For anyone who subscribes to the 'Geelong's different this year', I reckon we would have been down by 3-5 goals in years gone by (or even earlier this season: see Collingwood and Hawthorn) after that start.

Had some luck with the umpires no question, but been a good game so far.

 

[kickazz]

Pretty frenetic first quarter.

Geelong's ball use (in the rare moments they had it) into the sun was terrible for the first 15 minutes.

 

[Hoops]

Weird? Just typical Geelong umpiring carrying them

And what is this typical umpiring and more to the point why?

 

[philthy05]

Why do we have such unbalanced umpiring so often in this game?

We have more than half the league in one state, the entire power base situated in the same place, and the media in the same place, and they just saturate the populace with their vfl propaganda.

As I mentioned in another thread recently, this is the league that flew a patch of grass to brisbane at massive cost with so much fanfare it rivaled beatlemania.

Aussie rules football is the greatest sport in the world

The Australian football league is a Mickey Mouse league joke of an administration run by an incestuous boys club

 

[Adz2332]

12 frees in the first. But it's the missed and not paid things. 2 goals, 1 hands in the back, the other a dropped mark. Embarrassing

 

[hammo24]

no wonder afl has turned shit, can’t even get half decent umpires

There are a lot of idiots, yes.

 

[afl2004]

My favourite part of being a port supporter we will get a game were the umps give us a good run and then every media outlet will question our home ground umpiring advantage, pathetic comp

 

[RustyCage]

Port have started well against the Geelong 25

 

[CrowFan77]

Wow! Port getting utterly hosed by the umps. 12 frees in 1 quarter for the Cats! WTF? Clear out of bounds on the wing called play on. Dropped mark paid right in front of goal.

Shocking!

How many holding the ball? Some silly ruck infringements too.

 

[Jibroni]

Keep at it Port

One of Port's goals came after a clear missed ruck shepherding free against Port, I guess the ump was getting embarrassed for the player who can't ruck.

Going to cry about that one too?

 

[hammo24]

even bucks said Geelong are getting a ride from the umpires

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Dunno about “blatant” umpire support but they (Geelong) certainly have had the rub of the green. Both sides playing good Footy at a frenetic pace, scoreboard probably reflects where the game should be. Port with more scoring shots but lower % opportunities reflected by relative inaccuracy versus Geelong with less scores but high accuracy.

Umpiring will tidy up and if Port can sustain this (they have the ability to build into a game) they can win.

I’m enjoying it as a neutral who benefits nothing from either side winning, realistically.
