Incompetent umpires

 

[Moonwatcher]

I have heard so many commentators say that on form and standard of play (2nd highest scoring team, 5th highest percentage etc.) AFC should be playing finals that I would really like us to smash WCE by >200 points and set new records for a team that didn't play in the finals.

WCE are playing good footy. Will be lucky to win playing our best.

Regrettably no one seems to have clipped up the Troy Pannell 18-2 game on youtube. That's the one that particularly sits with me and was the canary in the coal mine for the Dogs being gifted the 2016 Flag

The 1993 preliminary final vs Essendon was a doozy

As was the semi final vs Sydney in 1998 at the SCG. 17-3 at half time or something and Kerls was going nuts on the boundary line

Oh yeah indeed.

And how about his terrible 50m penalty on Eddie Betts against Sydney in 2017, even though the result did not matter as we had top spot on the ladder sewn up. But yeah, it cost us the game. Terrible umpire.

And Beveridge had the hide to call Pyke's questioning on Parnell's integrity after the Dogs receiving 17 free kicks to 1 in a single game "disgusting" - as if he wouldnt do the exact same thing if the roles were reveresed.

Flog of the highest order.

 

[Crows I Am]

On each occasion that I’ve seen our time come, I’ve seen the AFL stomp us down as quickly as possible.

It’s hard to win in a league that actively prevents you from doing so. A significant part of me has given up on ever seeing another Crows flag, and I’m 36.

I think we did a pretty good job of stomping ourselves down after 2017

The same as if Longmire had come out and criticise us for questioning the goal umpire
When you know you've been k*ssed by the umpires you say nothing

 

[GameofSloanes]

The last week, with the goal umpire, AFL reaction, tribunal decision and the Barrett article, really has me not interested in football. To say nothing of all the historical injustices - 2012 prelim, 2017 GF, various punishments we've received that are 10x what any other clubs gets. I hate the AFL but love the Crows. Wish I didn't so I could give it all away at times like these. Have absolutely no faith that there will ever be a level playing field giving us equal opportunity to win.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Here's a post of mick500 making s**t up.

Are you lost?
If the AFL announced next year that Melbourne had 12 games in melbourne, had to travel the other weeks, and the grand final was in Adelaide, would you prefer that to what you currently get?

I feel exactly the same way.

My recommendation is to do what I have done - I follow it casually and still support the club but refuse to put any money into the league. I cancelled my membership, I don’t go on their website, if I do attend a game it’s on a mate’s free ticket, and overall I am far less committed to following the league than I was previously.

Get a 36ers or Adelaide United membership and follow them, it’s different but overall it is far more enjoyable to follow a competition which actually has some integrity. We’ll never get to enjoy a flag under the current AFL set up.

I do have an AFLW membership because that comp is run somewhat more impartially.

Don’t forget the Grand Final being hosted at Adelaide Oval for the next 40 years, being robbed of father-son/academy selections, and having zero chance of AFL assistance when you’re down the bottom of the ladder.

Oh! And if we tank then another club will be penalised for it.

 

[Checksider]

Yep - Adelaide have a sweet deal with their home ground advantage - Melbounre don't have one at all. And mick500 just lied in anther thread, so I'm following him around for a bit.

Let’s trade deals, start the ****ing car!

 

[Cap]

If you look up David Warner (not the cricketer) on tiktok he has some stat's, which to be fair he hasn't really given much detail of) which shows the arm chair ride Vic clubs get on free kicks.

It's a good rant at least.

Demons fans in particular are a special kind of stupid.

I don't know about everyone else but I'll be going about my day then remember this ****ery and then I'm just about as pissed off as I was Saturday night.

Remember our assistant coach being suspended for another club's tanking.

I should have given it away back then.

 

[WetCrow1991]

We should find out where every visiting team staying when they come to play in Adelaide and go to their hotel and play this at 2am.

Would love to see some Beveridge skating slams.

You can't see that the shift from sympathy to mocking has come about since Olsen talked about compensation and the criticism he gave about the AFL.


Or you reckon the media/Barret would still be on our side if we lawyered up and took it to court. Coupled with a daily session from Silvers and Olsen about how unjust we have been treated via the club Social Media channels.



If Sydney or GWS win this weekend the AFL media consensus will be about how we wouldn't have qualified anyway.


Which would make us look stupid if we went to court and kept crying about it in the media all week....

No I think the mockery started once dildo head started doing the 'move on, most important thing is the four points, worry about things in our control and just be better' pantomime.

You know, the thing that signalled that it was over and we'd cop it meekly like every other time.

 

[mick500]

I’ll post it. Am happy to wear the fallout / ban.

You've really thrown a cat amongst the pigeons and taken up more of my day on bigfooty than I would have liked by doing this

I would prefer the coach and players believe they control the outcome of a game.

That is a winning attitude.


Once you start believing that you can't control your own destiny, you become a loser.




Good attitude towards life in general....




McAdam takes an easy chest mark 20m out. We probably win. Instead, it came down to being denied by an incompetent umpire.

i was directly in line with that goal that day (was sitting in the AFL members)

it very clearly went over the top of the post. its a hill i will die on

they use that same argument with the leigh colbert mark from the geelong final the week before, but everyone conveniently forgets that a goal was paid to geelong in the first or second quarter of that game off a ball that quite clearly came off a crow foot too. funnily enough, that never gets spoken of

edit - i'm wrong about the goal - can't seem to find it having gone back through the game and skimmed through it

Actually I think you will find that goal involved Mark Bickley in the last quarter. Could be wrong tho.

 

[kirky]

Damo..on an official AFL media site..says it all really in terms of what the AFL really thinks….

IF ...​

the Crows and seemingly half of Adelaide this week lost their minds, justifiably, over the Ben Keays non-goal decision ...

THEN ...​

thousands of Western Bulldogs supporters were overheard saying something about Tony Liberatore and a karma bus waiting to be driven since the '97 preliminary final.

And from memory the goal umpire had excellent positioning with the sun behind him whilst the Bulldogs players were looking into the sun. Just saying.
