    Re: I tell you what I'm sick of already.

    The cats have gone past the Eagles in Perth for favourable treatment.

    It might not always be the free kick differential - its that they get all the decisions at the important times.

    It's the inevitability of it that sticks in my guts. The umpires getting Geelong over the line is as predictable as the result of a North Korean election.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    I'm not going to get in to too much details as I've already had my say in the Round 10 thread, but that is exactly what is meant to happen.
    Clock starts as soon as player marks the ball and doesn't stop unless the umpire signals time on for any particular reason.
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    As I've said in the other thread you've mentioned, I have difficulties surrounding when or why the umpire signals time on and how they determine the fitness of a player to take the kick in the allocated time.

    I don't have any issues with the umpires doing what they need to do, just the parameters they need to work within.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
