In the wash-up of the Grand Final has Scott McLaren been TERMINATED for his CHEATING yet?

[Chief Ten Beers]

The AFL are complete Nazis when it comes to somebody criticizing these umpires too.

In 2004, McLaren ended up at the centre of a controversy when, on The Footy Show, Essendon captain James Hird criticised the umpiring in the Round 2, 2004 game. He singled out McLaren as one of the umpires who made poor decisions, labelling him "disgraceful". Hird was later fined A$20,000 for his comments.[5]

​

$20,000 for a critical comment? WTF? Time and time again I keep on saying it: "free speech" does not exist in this country and especially in the AFL. It's disgraceful how the AFL is run these days.

McLaren made mistakes yep. And some of those indeed went against the Hawks, some even at crucial times.

To suggest it's a deliberate thing though.. come on that's just the teensiest bit silly.

(Especially against Essendon when McLaren has clearly had it in for us for the better part of the last decade!!! )

Can't say he cheated but it was funny listening to the commentators saying "McLaren, wrong again, you're having a shocker," and similar remarks.

Yeah, it was friggin hilarious.
