OWAAT had a segment last night on our dubious decisions.
The Lake one was McInerney
The Shaggy one was Chamberlain
The Hudson one was Chamberlain
The Ward one was Chamberlain
The Aker one was McInerney
Razor Ray made more mistakes than McInerney.
PS. The AFL have come out and defended the Lake decision. I haven't heard them come out and defend the Hargrave/Hudson/Ward ones.
WRONG
The Shaggy one was McInerney
The Hudson one was McBurney
The other decision that has been glossed over by the media is the free kicked paid to the bulldogs in St Kilda forward line when the ball was on the wing. This was also the error of McInerney.
The AFL has not made comment on those decisions because they are indefensible.
If they have any chance of defending a decision, they will. They used the letter sent a few weeks ago as their defence for Reiwoldt decision. The have no excuse for the others. I know that even the other umpires think it was a wrong decision.
And finally, McInerney started the finals in the top 3. He finished in 6th spot.
For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
I actually watched the game again on Friday night, well not all of it, I just fast forward to all of the controversial decisions.
I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep thinking about all those decisions.
Unfortunately all it did was confirm my thoughts when watching the game live.
They were some of the worse decisions paid.
For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
Yeah and before the ball was bounced to start the game, the Saints players tried to push around our players, why wasn't a free given then, or the other times the same thing happened, around the ground. Or, after lake pushed Rievolt, he was man handled himself and the decision should have been turned around.
They can't defend this and they have opened up a can of worms for future games. No common sense the AFL.

I have to stay away from this thread, it keeps making me mad!
