    These Umpires

    Leave a bit to be desired, what a soft 50.

          Umpires aren't giving us any favours up our end that is for sure - plenty for them though.
          Really think we are playing like unfortunately a patched up team - hope some way we can really turn around and at least get close.
          Love those Swans

            Interesting to see if they pay 50's like that during the whole game.

            Amazing to see Baz get one, that's the first for a while.

            But all it means is that we'd be four goals down instead of seven.

              The free kick to wanganeen against nicks when it was obviously the other way around just proves that home ground umpiring still exists

                  What was it for btw?

                  To me it looked like Nicks was held.

                    It was technically there, Nicks was holding his jumper although Wanganeen was doing the same. The 50m penalty still has me confused though. What is the exact technical ruling on that one?

                      If you wear colours other than red and white, you'll be awarded a few.

                        ABC news radio all derisive of the soft 50s. In SAAFL they have a 25m penalty to apparently, for lesser indiscretions. Every one of them were appalled that these decisions have a large effect on a tight game.

                          Ah, Rule 66.6 - screw the away team.

                          Seriously, I was just thinking about it, he didn't overstep the mark, he didn't hold on to Cornes any longer than usual or commit any other indiscretion that I could see.

                            not that that 50m penalty was having a large impact. This is certainly not a tight game.

                            I cant really get too upset about this umpiring when we have no chance of winning even with more favourable decisions.
