Shocking umpiring. Margin back out to 19 pts in favour of us as Wallis goals.

Luckily we were the beneficiary of that 'even up' free kick. That non-decision that cost us a goal up the other end was atrocious. How that umpire could say Goldstein had no prior opportunity is beyond me.
It's been a game of terrible umpiring.

The umpires do not seem to be consistent and we have a whole appreciation round a week or so back for them. They should be there to be in the background as much as possible and not influence the game with silly decisions like that. Luckily its not a final.

Great intencity by the Dog's, hopefully we will keep it up in the second half.
Not one to bitch about the umpires, but there has been some ordinary non desision and desisions.
Griffs first half has been brilliant.

Umpire 24 must be the play on and ball up umpire... He simply refuses to make a decision.

Makes the game more enjoyable than the other extreme of paying everything even resembling a free kick though.

Umpire # 24 better hope this one doesn't go down to the wire. Disgraceful non decision gifts North Goal, on the back of a tremendous chase and tackle by DFA. Textbook HTB play, unrewarded.

Boys doing well thus far. Griff everywhere, Lake in good nick. Dahl is the sort of guy we go to the footy to watch, just love the energy he brings.

#24 seems to struggle with basics.

How can be more enjoyable when they miss obvious frees? You pay the frees that are there not let it go.
The frees are suppose deter poor play not the other way around.

Absolute delight watching a North player run down and drop the ball in their square and then have them rewarded with a goal.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

There was another bad decision on our forward line as well. Wells pushed Griffin in the back and Griff cannoned into Roughead and thy clashed heads. The umpire called play on and North took it straight up the other end and kicked a goal.


Cross was good in the last few minutes before halftime. I forget how good at contested marking he is sometimes.

Great effort from Addison there.

It's not supposed to be one extreme or the other though. We give them a whistle and a silly outfit to make the obvious decisions.

Higgins playing well today. Proving s leading option. But that miss is costly.

Two goal turn around. Just kills you.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

We have used the ball really well today. Another goal to Sherman.
