I don't think I'd mind if McInerney came on - he'd be so conscious of not stuffing up that he might actually see some things our way.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Weak Dog??When/where was that?Originally posted by Jeffers1984
Wasn't Vozzo the one that came up with the " Weak Dog" 50 metre penalty?
If so then he could be our saviour.
Mr Roos knew what he was doing'
John Longmire is taking it to an art form
We dont know how lucky we are to be Swans supporters

Rd 7 v Essendon at Telstra Stadium when Mark Johnson used less 'delicate' language than that to Amon Buchanan and was paid a 50m penalty for his efforts.Originally posted by Albert Park

If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Not much we can do. We get belted by the umpires every week so why would finals be any different.
Unfortunately the AFL's love affair with the Saints continues..."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

If the AFL's main strategic thrust is into NSW and they can see the greeatest growth potential for the game here, why do they do this.?Originally posted by anne
I cant believe a. McClaren is umpiring
b. McInerney is emergency.
If this isn't further blatant AFL bias against Sydney then I don't know what is (maybe watering the ground).
Cant the AFL let the umpires into the plan?.
Or does our style of play just attract more penalties than the the rest? I dont see the Umpires going after the WA or SA teams like they do with the Swans.
Is it just the parocjhail Melbourne hates Sydney story?Mr Roos knew what he was doing'

Who umpired the round 10 game vs the Saints? For me, that was the worst umpiring performance of the season - which is certainly saying something.
Unfortunately, the only thing worse than the umpiring that day was the Swans.Comment

The sad thing is McLaren and Ryan have preliminary finals and are ranked in the top 6.
Obviously the worse you perfrom the higher ranked you are!Comment

Re: Umpires for Friday night
If these 3 are in the top 6 then the umpire fraternity is really struggling.Originally posted by Snowy
Bozzo, McLaren and Goldsphincter.
There might just be a comp between them for the worst decision of the night.
Saints supporters hate Goldy and have a history of being the biggest whingeing mob of all time when it comes to umpires. Anyone recall the Moorabbin days.Comment

They did not affect the outcome, although they paid a few soft ones to the Saints and missed a couple to us.
I thought McLaren and Vozzo were worse then Golodspink and thats saying something!Comment

They very much did affect the outcome to three quarter time.Originally posted by swans85

It was almost like some sort of sick joke. You could see Goldspink DESPERATELY trying to find important frees for the Saints and DESPERATELY trying to find a way to pay a goal with controversial dropped mark incident"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

They picked up the audio from the umps here and IMO Goldspink handled it well - he knew he was in no position to make a call on it, the goal ump was calling touched, and he basically told the boundary umpires "if you aren't sure I don't want to know".Originally posted by sharp9

I think they had a shocking 3rd quarter, and were blowing the whistle for just about anything. Even worse for us, they were missing quite a few that were there for us too.
By the looks of it Roos asked Bazza to run over and simply say "Just put the ********ing whistle away and let us decide whose better ourselves!"
And funnily enough, I think they listened.Our Greatest Moment:
