Carlton getting the rub of the green with the umps...

[sparklig]

OP should read 'Carlton getting rub of the green from Sydney players'

I mean today we could not kick, grab it cleanly, get to it first, tackle (I reckon at least 30 missed tackles), make a decision or take a set shot.

P.S. Carlton's pressure does have a lot to do with this. Umpiring is fine. You make your own luck. Carlton did so.

Obviously Carlton were a class above Sydney today, merely highlighting some rubbish umpiring early on.

Umpiring was terrible, Swans got the rough end, and Murphy and Judd were the main beneficiaries.

Not blaming the umps at all for the result, but hopefully the poor showing goes some way to disproving the myth that the Swans are systematically favoured.

Carlton getting a good run from the umps??

I'm shocked!!

Yep. In a way it would be interesting to see a Geelong v Carlton Grand Final. The umpires love both of those sides, they'd be torn between two lovers.

You should be. We're always r*ped when we play your mob.

BTW, can't seem to find anyone giving examples. Just the usual "I'll quote the free kick count" shit that goes on when people have NFI.

Funny how it always seems to be the better team that's getting the rub of the green when it comes to free kicks... Maybe that has something to do with getting hands on the ball first and sticking tackles? It's a lot easier to give a free kick away when the ball isn't in your hands or you're trying to defend in a contest.

Pack of absolute whingers!

Carlton were 10 times harder at the ball and the man today and made their own luck, Swans weren't even in the same ball park.

 

[Dangas]

Murphy yanked from the ball without it, 30 out directly in front, no free. Yarran puts his hand on Jetta's shoulder - free kick and goal.

There's two for you Swans...

/thread

...and plenty of others that went unnoticed for the Swans, they umpire the team in front

 

[Squida25]

It's pretty obvious Carlton only won because of the umpires

There wasn't that much of a difference in contested, tackles and clearances.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Phew i feared the worst as i saw this thread and hoped a Swans supporter didn't start it.

XXX KINGS summed it up perfectly.

Did you watch the game or did you watch an excel spreadsheet?

Can't have looked too hard, given your post was only on the third page.

Last 5 minutes Carlton player (Tuohy?) takes on the tackler, gets tackled 360 deg. and play on, even though it was a clear holding the ball, then Marc Murphy holds McVeigh at a stoppage and gets the free..

Murphy just got another kick for running into 3 players standing still with his head down.

And then three Swans get arms around the side of their heads and it's play on. The inconsistency of the high tackling is getting ridiculous.

That's a handful there. Apologies for not providing full documentary evidence, I wasn't expecting a quiz on it after the date.

I watched the game and looked at the stats, broooo.

My mistake then...

Umpiring and poor kicking must've been the only reason Swans were 60 points down at one stage

Yeah that evil Judd benefitting from a whole 1 free kick, you muppet

Some average umpiring benefiting both teams at stages, but seriously sooking about umpiring after being completely outplayed when it mattered just reeks of the sourest grapes.

And anyone who thinks McVeigh's deliberate block on Murph with his back to the play wasn't a free (after being warned by the ump no less) has NFI. What do you think he was doing, looking for a buddy in the crowd?

 

[Dangas]

Not what is paid, what isn't paid

It was only 34 points, if it wasn't for those umpires Sydney would have smashed us!

 

[Pklz]

How was Jetta going down as if he was shot when he was barely touched. Goodes playing for free kicks half the day.

Umpires waking up to Sydney? perhaps...

 

[baja]

umpiring was disgraceful typical Vic bias, but so obvious I hope a formal complaint is made, frees for and against isnt even enough, frees that werent should be added to the stats. ****ing pathetic

 

[pharoah]

jee whiz the blues had the swans earlier this year in sydney, then today held the swans two 4 . 4 . 28, I mean to hold the swans who are the benchmark for scoring efficiency lmao to such a low score was aided by the umpires for sure.
Blues only 64 points up early final term, but yeah swans had their momentum killed as great sides dont come back from bad decisions, they just die in the arse.
Gotta love rival fans having digs at the blues, you know carlton have turned the corner when these jealous and bitter opposition supporters start suggesting the umpires are favouring the blues.
Please save this crap for when it really matters.
Blues owned the swans and the wheels have turned.

The ironing is delicious.

 

[Blues_Man]

Free Kick count says itself. Carlton 14, Swans 6. That and poor kicking are costing us the game.

The fact the swans were playing a much superior team didn't help the result either Only an idiot would ever think the Umpires helped Carlton win that game ..oh and we won't mention the charity goal to jetta in the goal square from a ridiculous decision .

youre kidding arent ya? North and Essendon posters are the biggest whingers on bigfooty, this is the first time Ive ever complained about umpiring, and Im probably the only Swan supporter doing so.
