You might want to use a bit of comprehension before having a shot on another team's board. He was not saying the umpires cost us, just looking at who has umpired our losses and praying that we don't have McLaren next week.
McLaren was attrocious today. Could not believe the high shot on McGlynn was let go in front of goal when the Hawks needed it and then he pinged him at the bottom of the pack with no prior opportunity. Absolute disgrace he is.
Blaming the umps for that pathetic display your boys put out today is asanine. Watch out the CROWS ARE COMING!!!!
Early on in the match when it was game on you will find that we got analy r*ped by the umpires.You will also find that the close free kick count was balanced in junk time and in our back pockets etc:
Having said that, we were a disgrace,we had no comeback for the often boring Adelaide style, which will not help them against higher teams. Surely our MC should have a plan A,B & C after the last time we played them.
they can both Mc**** off. Sick of those two.
That was perhaps the most disgraceful umpiring I've seen in fifty years. He couldn't have done more to get Essendon back in the game and then over the line if Ratten had strangled his mother. Best umpire money can buy - pure incompetence couldn't explain what he did. For the game's sake I hope he's hit by a truck.Funny this thread should start..
The second time we played Essendon this year when they beat us by a fair margin I decided before the game (I was at the ground) to take McBurney's stats in terms of free kicks he paid against Carlton. Results were interesting.

McBurney paid 11 free kicks to Essendon, 8 forward of centre and 6 inside Essendon's forward 50. Regardless of whether they were there or not that is a huge amount from one umpire considering Essendon recieved only 16 free kicks for the game. Looking on footywire Essendon scored 3 goals from free kicks and 2 from 50m penalties compared to 1 goal from a free kick for Carlton.
Carlton were in the game until the umpires or should I say Bomber McBurney turned the tide towards the end of the 2nd quarter and beginning of the 3rd. The Carlton players then decided not to tackle or spoil in the defensive half which in the end cost us another 8 or 9 goals because the players knew they'd be penalised for netball like obstruction.
Where did you hear this?Apparently we have McLaren, Jeffrey and Wenn this week

Had to bump this thread
I thought we got Pannelled last night, he is def an Ess man, his umpriring was nothing short of a disgace
You'll never win bitching about the umps but I sat there thinking last night why on earth they felt the need to impact so much on the game. I think it was Lloyd on the radio this morning who said if you didn't have the radio on last night you had no idea what was going on ie: who had infringed, on who, how, where, why the kick was being taken where it was. Aside from that the decisions were pretty straightforward. FMD...
Who is that umpire who was talking to Waite after he threw his mouthgard out? Seriously looks like he was one of those kids who would be a hall monitor and enjoy punishing people.
How an umpire can smile and be sooo smug when giving a decision is ridiculous!
They were horrible both ways and WILL ruin a final one day....
Umpires have already changed the results of Grand Finals. Anyone remember that pathetic effort by the boundary ump in 1979? Um, hang on a tic.........
