Heh! Very good.
Maybe the bulldogs are sending out saboteurs to opposition training sessions and changing certain players pickle juice for bogus pickle juice so they develop soft tissue injuries?
There was a lot of talk about the goal review after the Sydney Essendon game and one commentator said "it will cost a team a grand final"....i thought straight to the JJ overturn. That very well could have cost us the flag. It was at a crucial stage of the game. It was inconclusive (although in my mind the ball had fully crossed the line. The camera angle they used does not let you draw a straight line from the ball to the goal line) and the goal umpire ruled a goal. How they overturned that i have no idea. Lucky for us Roughead marked the ensuing kick-in. But sydney want to whinge about the free kick count.

The thing about Friday night's one is that the goal umpire's call was a behind. Without clear evidence to the contrary, Umpire's call was the correct decision.
Ours was overturned without clear evidence to the contrary.

It may be the bulldog in me, but even to this day when i watch it or think of it, i shudder, imagining if it had cost us.....it's actually fairly straight forward the video review, yet so many times they stuff it up. Are they actual umpires making these decisions? If it's clear, it's clear, if it's not goal umpires decision.

Wish we had it back in the late 90s when Libba kicked that goal in the prelim v Adelaide , cost us a premiership I reckon.

Good point about who reviews the video. Aker39 do you know if it's ex umpires or some numpty lucky enough to be at the front of the line when the jobs were handed out.

I was in perfect position behind the goal post about 8 or 9 rows from the fence and it went through the goals without about a foot to spare or maybe just a little bit less to spare. I don't even know what the confusion was, if you look closely Crows supporters are starting to walk up the aisle and leave the ground because they are convinced it's a goal and the game is all over.
I can remember them because the first I realised the goal umpire was a blind idiot who was the only person in the entire stadium who thought it was a point was when people started to turn them around and I turned around to face the ground.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

This rubbish is just out of control. The article makes it out as though north were robbed because of 2 CORRECT umpiring decisions.
Also, what is even more ludicrous is the headline on the sports page http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl
"'Staggering' accusation exposes 'snitches" .... so Murph can't even joke now without being taken out of context

If the AFL is listening to the sooky la la clubs then they are also being disrespectful. Any clubs complaining should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

Yep, the AFL talk about the integrity of the game. Well this is close as it gets to questioning the integrity of the game.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
It's unbelievable.
We average 0.1 frees for more than Norf per game, and 1.6 frees against less than they do per game.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

That's the funny bit. The differential is mostly due to our frees against figure. So the accusation couldn't be that the umpires are GIVING us more frees but rather that they are IGNORING frees that should be given to our opposition. And they must doing this to each and every team we play against. Utter crap it is.
The bit that stinks in all of this is that i feel the AFL is succumbing to the other teams. Sydney got a free ride in round 13 and they implemented a few rules this year to directly curb our influence.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
The league average is 18.4 for each.
So we're 1.8 over in frees for per game (20.2), and 1.8 under (16.6) for frees against per game.
Given the numbers are so perfect, it must be a conspiracy.

Yes and going of these claims, any team above the average in frees for per game or below the average in frees against per game are, being favoured by the umpires, because you know, free kick counts have to be even.

It was noticeable in the second-half on Sat night that we were getting less frees, even though Norf were continuing to hold us at every opportunity! The Umps realised it was getting lop-sided and went into their shell.
Dale did not receive a free on three blatant holds (one of which Norf proceeded to kick goal moving forward).
Mason Wood in the third shoved Morris into the pack and kicked a goal when he should have been pinged (like he got pinged in the last) and they still complain!
