Brett Allen is a bastard.....but at least its not McInerney or Mclaren...

Allen isnt one of my favourites but at least we dont cop McLaren, who appears to be out of favour after so much incompetence.

IMHO McBurney is the one to worry about from that list - seems to have this belief that it's an umpire's job to impose himself on the game.

Could do with a look at last year's Grand Final, particularly the last quarter, at how to umpire - let the players have the impact, leave the marginal calls out.

@@@@ing McBurney. McInerny @@@@s on him despite his big @@@@ up last year.

No Mclaren, Thank the AFL for that.
How will these guys handle a Roar factor X80,000

At least its not Goldsprink.

Anyone is better that him.

This time I don't think there are going to be any issues. We are playing Freo not some Vic club, so I'm sort of optimistic that umpiring will be OK for both sides.

Yes we're playing freo, but how many times have we had shocking umpiring playing the weagles? hopefully that won't translate to friday's game as well....

i wouldn't stick my hand up to say we're a shoe in to win the frees count....or to even get a few decent calls....

Is it Vozzo who is number 2?

At the Essendon game I had a chap near me who was screaming "You're a number two!" at the #2 Umpire, which I think is Vozzo. It was great!

Yep, Vozzo is 2, McBurney 3 and Allen 10.

[Carolyn]

Is McLaren #11 or #12?

I wouldn't just feel optimisitc & leave the umpiring to chance.

The smart thing to do for the swan coaching panel is to EXAMINE CRITICALLY with their players the last couple of games by these umpires and work out what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, as lawyers do by checking previous reference cases for current situation.

for example:
push in the back (so common foul - you just wonder why the players are not getting this right still),
pushing opponents out of the way with out-stretched hands before marking,
touching opponents shoulder/head in different scenarios,
not releasing ball when u are on top of it.

If u can cut the silly penalties in front of the opponents goal by just 2-3 goals, it make the job of winning 7- 10% easier @ 2 goals out of 20 is 10%,

If we play smarter with giving less of these silly penalties and the opponents give out these silly penalties, then the opponents job could be 20% harder @ less 10% from us, 10% from opponents

I hope the coaches are working overtime including bringing our penalty count to record bottom in the next 2 games, and not
basking under the Sydney sunshine, drinking chardonay.
