Hypothetical. Fact is the free was given.
Could have would have. Makes no difference.
Anyway if you look at the tap the Roos won the clearance and would have gone inside 50, maybe even won it off their own boot.
As it was a weasel of an umpire decided the game.
Was he saying that they are violent?
I thought his point was that people say things here that they wouldn't have the balls to say to their face.

I think the only person who has mentioned violence is you and you have done it twice. If you can show me a post where I have mentioned it I will retract but I doubt you will find any. The funny thing is the internet heroes call them out on here but those same people run to the mods if they cop a little on here. Makes you wonder how they would go in the public eye. Probably start crying.
FWIW I reckon the free was there so on that basis they got it right.
Was it in the spirit of the game? Maybe maybe not. Maybe if we got our shit together int he previous 3 quarters we wouldn't be having this discussion.

probably like the North supporters are, we would know we dodged a bullet, pleased to win but some of the enjoyment killed off by the contest being cut short by an iffy decision.
How would you or he know? Easy and lazy accusation.
It infers that the umpires are so thin skinned that they would react, probably physically.
I am not scared by any vindictive little egotist. P66 introduced Fishers name. Was he umpiring rhe Saints game on Sunday?
No. As I said lazy accusation
Maybe is a hypothetical. Fact is 75 apiece and umpire influences the result with dubious free kick.

One of your underlings said that internet heroes would be too scared to face off against the umpires. It's certainly sounding like he thinks they would rearrange our faces for not liking their decision making abilities.
watch the replay with 2 15 to go a boundary throw in. ball is thrown up goldstein takes his eye of the ball put his hand in hickeys chest still not looking at the ball. its identical to the free that stuffed the game.

And would you be demanding that we lodge a complaint to the AFL? Would you be throwing tantrums about the umpiring?
Just asking...
You inferred that the little men would react to critisism. The violence was inferred by you in your lazy accusation.
Look I know umpires can do no wrong on your eyes and you will defend them no matter what they do, but using inferred threats is a bit much.
Whirlwind punches WTF? Thought I was being conversational.
You're determined to see this as black and white which in a nutshell is the whole problem.

Well you couldn't be more wrong. Maybe violence is the first thing that comes to your mind but my point is people haven't got the courage to say this crap to others face. Not because they will get belted but because they just wouldn't do it.

Show me that post? I did no such thing and umpires can and do make mistakes. I have said that many times but you may as well continue with untruths if it makes you feel better.
Why the insults? Why cant gringo have an alternative view to you re this subject?
You say it is a tantrum which is incredibly insulting. How would you react if he kept insulting you POV by saying something that you accept being bent over.
It shouldnt occur. I understand both PoV and think you both have a right to your opinions

Yeah the umpiring is inconsistent as hell and we're usually on the wrong end of it, free kicks paid to opposition players that our players don't get.
That's why we hardly ever win the free kick counts or even break even.
Dont you go to the football?
I see people saying it to them face to face all the time.
So you are wrong.

Umpiring is an issue across the competition, and it is mainly down to the AFL who continually meddle with the rules and don't make umpiring professional and attract the best people and train them accordingly. The more supporters and clubs complain the better, they might start using some of the money they have and do something about the problem. It's a tough job but that doesn't mean that they deserve to be stuck up for as if they are doing a good job when they are not. It isn't just our games, there are many examples.

Not yet. He is our smartest.
His kicking is coming along really well. Confident, aggressive passing into the forward 50. Even long switches of play.
Even though he's been one of our best, I reckon he's still shaking off the shackles and has a few surprises in store.
If Dunstan comes good, you could see those two developing a very nice tough, mental edge partnership. As Hawthorn have shown, it can crush opponents, of as least equal talent, quite often.
Umpires... players... other posters... take your pick. You know I'm right.
No balls.

They must say in on the ground and I haven't seen to many supporters on the ground except Helen Demenico. Yelling from over a fence is hardly saying it to their face.
Really?
I think we are on the same page, Joffa.
Problem is that Gringo has played the man and cast aspersions to people who have a different view to him.
He made it personal and has made it personal with P66 as far as I can see.
I honestly don't understand why anyone who has a contrarian view has to branded an apologist or whatever.
One poster was asked if he was a parking officer. when he replied he was in sales, he was further mocked.
And then because someone agrees with P66 their is further condescension.
