This Weeks Umpires

[Old Royboy]

SYDNEY VS WEST COAST
#2- Michael Vozzo
#10- Brett Allen
#30- Shane McInerney

McLaren got the Brions/Aints match, Goldstink is doing PA/Cats.

Good, I don't have an extreme hatred of any of those three.

Good thing we aren't playing Geelong with Brett Allen umpiring

[Old Royboy]

Don't be too sure Mike. Some-one on big footy just volunteered the info that our record this year when Allen is umpiring is 0/3.

Vozzo and Allan are alright but McInerney is a goose. He was the umpire in Swannies V Brisbane game a month back who gave Brisbane thier first 3 goals of the game!

He rewards Voss with a blatant dive and Hart and Caracella with "Holding" when neither of our guys were touching him!!

Funny it was the same umpire who paid all 3 decisions!!

But hey, it could have been worse...we could of had Goldspink!

Vozzo is the ump with the big Konk who gave Barry Hall a hard time a few weeks back.

[Destructive]

They pass.

We should get a fair hearing with those three at least.

McInerney's umpiring against us, particularly the Voss decision, was the most farcical free kick that has gone against us all season, and there are planty to choose from. It struck me as incompetence rather than bias though, so hopefully the dud decisions will go our way tonight. He might feel he has to make up for that one this time!!

IMHO it was the one paid against Craig Bolton in Rd 6 v Essendon - simplly because not only was the free paid against him, a free should have been paid to him!!!

So how were the umps tonight? I believe they were reasonable, they paid pretty much all the frees I picked out in the game (on TV). It was unusual for the free kick to be one where I was wondering "what was that for?"

I think the Eagles ended slightly ahead on the free kick count, but most of those seemed to be there so I have no complaints.

[Benevolent Ert]

I recommend everyone sit down before reading this

The umpiring was excellent

I think West Coast got more free kicks, but they were pretty much all there

[Sanecow]

Early on we got a few rough decisions in the forward line (or so I thought). My blood pressure was on the rise but then we started to get our fair share. Can't complain.

[j0lly]

although barry hall got a free he was still cheated of a few(2?) i thought

[NMWBloods]

The only decision that I could complain about was O'Loughlin's fantastic tackle on Wirripunda in the first quarter - should have been holding the ball. Otherwise I thought the umpiring was fine.
