We got the first qtr you guys got the 2nd and 3rd and they got it right in the last.

great game and good luck to WC they are a top side and am looking forward to the game next week.

Both Geelong and WC are hard side and it will make a cracker of a match.
Fantastic post.

Was an intense game one of the best finals I have seen, so stressful.
 
Why sook, nothing will change, people on all the footy shows this week will not make one mention of the umpiring and the AFL will never listen to the supporters.

What is it with Carlton and Essendon fans always complaing about the umpires.

Especially when Carlton can thank the umpires for about 2-3 goals in the first half.
 
The umpiring was absolutely atrocious but I don't think you can say it favoured any side really. Blues got the run in the first quarter, Eagles in the second, and the whistles were put away in the second half.
 
Long time reader, first time poster.

Tonight was one of the worst umpiring efforts I have seen. To put on such a poor display in a final is unforgivable.

The first half reminded me of playing NBA jam as a kid, get in front then... Catch up mode would kick in to undo all the good work done. Just to make things worse the scrip was flip in the last quarter, The same free kicks that got west coast in the game were not paid to Carlton and ended up gifting west coast a preliminary birth.

Ive had a solid laugh in the past when a friend said "I would not wish this upon my worst enemy" as he tried to fit into a pair of ridiculously too small jeans. Now I understand and say to you west coast and all other contenders I hope the same display of umpiring is not put on display for the remaining games this season.

Go blues
 
Bradesmen thinks WC opponents were robbed, what a surprise.

How about how badly we were smashed early, bad umpiring all round.
And this is why this forum is denigrating into a farce lately. Any time someone of the opposition wants to say something, it is automatically assumed that they are trolling because they hate the team. It has nothing to do with that, so stop saying bullshit like that. Enough is enough. I expressed my opinion. Sure if you don't agree with me that is fine, but to say it is cause I hate the WCE (which is totally wrong if you knew me) then you are the only troll here.

You might take note that it's fans of other clubs also saying the umpires were woeful with the advantage going to WCE overall.

Lol'd.

Most Blues fans have been pretty good tonight, but I hope there are a few more comments like this to make the win all the sweeter.

Also, you know nothing about football.

You do it so frequently, how can I take anything you post seriously.

If you want to put the whistle away, put it away in the first quarter as well. I thought the second half was just amazing to watch. But clearly, Lynch's, Duigan's chop and Walker's hold would all have been called in the first half. They called anything they could think of. Just be ****ing consistent.

Also I agree with the double goal. Just stupidity from Davies. Don't need to do it. Mistake of a kid.
 
clearly the ball went over the line

was that on the fumble across the line or the warnock spoils?, would love to see some side on replays.

My concern is on the eagle player tapping the ball back into play from behind the goal line, cause on tv he touched it before the ball completely crossed.
 
A lot of Carlton supporters whining on bigfooty with their tissue box right beside them tonight.

Carlton got of to a flying start thanks to the umpires, and then in the second.
 
Carlton a bit unlucky towards the end there. But the only reason they were still in the contest was the 4 goal head start the umps gave them in the first.

That one was a goal either way. If it had crossed the line then it was a goal, if not, then he kept it in and kicked the goal himself.
 
Poor umpiring for sure. But to say we were gifted the win is a cop out. It evened itself out in the end. Everyone likes to look at the last few minutes and think that umpiring cost them the game when the only reason you were in the game was because of the shit umpiring earlier.

if that's true then the umpire called a goal when there should not have been one, rather play until score or other. Eitherway If these four (I include the goal umpire from that end as well) umpire next week i will be shocked and disappointed.
