The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Worst one way traffic umpiring in that last quarter I have ever seen.

Ban Dogs posters from this thread.

This is now an official legal matter and no conflict of interest can be permitted.

This hearing is now in session.

Can we launch a royal commission into our fixture too?

Any other clubs played at 7 different venues in the first 11 weeks?

 

[Quested]

Just came to congratulate the umps on a solid 4 quarter effort. Those last ditch 50m penalties and ignoring the front on contact in the goalsquare almost got you home. Suns just too good in the end.

Clearly out of the scope of this inquiry.

If you continue to waste the Commission’s time you will be held in contempt.

Turn it up! How many times have you actually been interstate????

Exhibit A - the last 15 minutes of that game.

Simply unbelievable the bias shown to the dogs.

Thankfully many dogs fans were shocked, some even glad they lost because they knew they were gifted goals.

Ah, we were one of only two teams to be disadvantaged by gather round (playing an SA team) and then had to go straight from Adelaide to Perth back to back. We've been to Canberra and we've been to Darwin (straight from a Ballarat game - which could probably be the most polar opposite of conditions - yes I'm aware we choose to play there, just don't understand why we're fixtured at Darwin the next week).

Lol tomorrow we’re playing our third game in S.A. in 11 rounds. One of them was on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, then we went to Canberra the next week.

We also have two trips to Perth in a month later this season.

Have a sook.

Same amount of times as Brisbane, but in more venues and differing conditions.

You mean the one that was a neutral game?

Ballarat is your home game.

You played 4 non Vic teams away already, poor Doggies.
Enjoy your next 5 at Marvel.

Not as good as 7 games in a row at the MCG that some clubs get but we’ll take it.

No such thing as a neutral game involving the Dogs.

c.f. This thread.

MCG is away big dog, we hardly play there.

Not as good as playing with 26 on field some days, but you’ll take that too.

 

[Professor Knowall]

Thread has been successfully sidetracked from the topic, so time to bring it back - the bias from the umpires tonight, especially in the last quarter, was beyond anything I’ve ever seen before.

When do 26 players play on the field?

With a game in hand Brisbane have received more free kicks for the season thus far than us (+1) and their differential is +38. Ours is +11.

But sure, no such thing as a neutral game involving the dogs.

Yeah, i guess the four umpire system is taking some getting used to.
Been 25 for so long long, right?

Not much merit to this comment when Brisbanes last top 4 finish relied on numerous umpiring errors to get the required percentage.

You mean the year we would have finished much higher if not for a universally acknowledged umpiring screw job at GMHBA?

Edited: goofed

Four blokes on the bench don't play during the game?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Anyone got a video of the 50m penalty for “going 2m over the mark”?

That was a ripsnorter.
