Umpire McBurney

[Fall Out Boy]

Deadset crucified us.

I know Moondog was undisciplined, but even still you'd expect a team that had the ball 100+ times more to come out in front in the free kick tally.

I don't put much faith in theories about umpires disliking certain teams but when you look at our free kick record, you have to ask some questions.

I love sitting in the Social Club and hearing the old-timers under cover giving it to the umpires "umpire number three, you're a mongrel!".

Were some very poor decision, it's good that we can still keep focussed when things aren't going our way.

Saints Game
Port Game

And the best thing

WE STILL WON

I understand Phat. I have uttered it once or twice but tried to remain quiet. Problem is the umpiring this whole year is plain wrong because they are making the game to hard to umpire.

Every time Mooney got near it the whistle went for some reason. Unwarranted free's half the time. Otherwise i thought the rest wasn't too bad.

They hold grudges - Wayne Carey

Mooney certainly suffers, yesterday was a painful example.

Frustrating to say the least...

Let's look at the facts. We're a disciplined team, we're 7-2, we regularly get more of the ball and yet every week this year we conceded more free kicks than we get (except bulldogs game which was 16-16). There is a bias against us.

Bias until you play us, deadset murdered we got.. you cant complain about any umpiring decisions in that game -

You've got to be joking.

rickjames, you are out of your mind.

Bad decisions went both ways today, Geelong going into the Half with 6 more frees with atleast 3 goals coming from Free Kicks really hurt Fremantle.

The one decisions that sticks in my mind is the non paying of holding the ball on the player in which Black ran down in the 2nd and Geelong went on to kick a goal.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

We got a lot of frees in the first half (15-8), by the end the maggots evened it up (2-7 after halftime).

Incompetent umpires ********ed both teams over at times.

Doesn't really matter. Freo got the points, we lost.
