The only good thing about this is that the Blues supporters will continue to have delusions that they are a good team, when in reality they are 6-10 on the ladder at best.

10 extra scoring shots equals a 10 point win. Pretty ugly game all round.
And the Himmelburg centering the ball instead of having a shot. So many AFL players lack match awareness, as if they can't break their programming.
It wasn’t the only poor decision from an ordinary umpiring group out there today, but I agree it was a shocker.

Fmd Chief lmao.
He meant the team of umpires i suppose
About time the umps stood their ground tbh. Was good to see.

No you're right. There were a few other really poor ones Carlton didn't deserve.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Waiting until the end of the game when scores are tight to call a dissent free right in front of goals after you missed a HTB decision is baffling.
We are a multi billion dollar sport. It is time to invest heavily in officiating and get them on full time and review the entire thing.
On the plus side, these wins are luring Carlton and its fans into a nice false sense of security so we have that going for us.

Hope they finish 8th and lose by a pt.
And a few we should have received such as front on contact in a marking contest in front of goal.
Umps were rubbish for both sides.

Umpiring will never be fixed while they lack any accountability for their actions and decisions. They have free reign. When has that ever worked in any facet of life?

Umps in the Carlton huddle yet for the song?

A Carlton player did the same thing two minutes later asking for a deliberate free with his arms out but nothing. If umpires want respect, actually interact with the players. There was no abuse. There was no undermining of the decision. It was close to the worst decision I've seen in my 40+ years of following the game.
That being said, Jesse Hogan may want to actually try and get front position in a contest rather than wanting his team mates to kick it 60 metres in heavy, wet conditions.
Over the game, the Blues were the better side.

Coniglio/Whitfield “free kick” was one of the worst umpiring decisions of all time.
Definitely swayed the game. Though we were the better side over the day GWS were absolutely coming back.
Ugly game. But a win is a win.

No you weren't.
GWS were better than you 80% of the game. The only reason you had more scoring shots is because GWS lacked the killer i50 disposal.

The dissent free????????????? Has anyone seen that in any game prior to today? I really don’t feel like that’s the rule.
