That was a disgraceful umpiring display.
Absolutely disgraceful. There are too many blatantly obvious frees that weren't called to mention... and the ones they did call
I will say though, they handed Collingwood a number of goals. The non-decision where Mal Michael was legged and brought to ground behind the play (about 10 metres off the ball) by Rocca (after the ball had cleared his immediate area) and not paid... then Lockyear (or Thomas?) picked it up for an easy goal. Just one example of a clear goal as a direct result of a poor decision.

The major reason we lost this game was: K. SHEEDY
On a 4 day turn around he brought two players into the team that were never going to give us anything. So in effect we had 20 players who had played a game 4 days previously, another player who gave us nothing apart from one goal and the most pathetic celebration I've ever seen after a hack has scored a goal, and the other f***** up at least 3-4 times if not 5-6 times that lead directly to goals to the opposition.
Make no mistake about it, the umpiring wasn't great for us today, but to suggest that is the reason we lost in absolute joke. We were absolutely pumped today, we had circles run around us, Sheedy was outcoached and did not change tatics all day. We should've lost by about 60-70 points and the only reason we didn't was Collingwood pathetic accuracy in front of goal.

Spot on. I msg'd a Collingwood supporter straight after the game to say they should have won by 17 goals not 17 pts.ealesy wrote:The major reason we lost this game was: K. SHEEDY

Smashed in the centre square - smashed at the clearances - turned the ball over like it was 2006 all over again. Couldn't believe how unaware we were all over the ground - how many times were we in space only to stand still or jog to be caught holding the ball - and not one of those decisions was wrong.

We didn't deserve to win today, Collingwood played better footy.
In saying that - I believe the umpiring made a difference. There were crap umpiring decisions made, blantantly shite - c'mon even the bearded clam thought they were wrong and he NEVER sides with us - at key points of the game. It was f****** awful today.
