The only consistency in the umpiring last night was that it was consistently @@@@.

The umpires missed an awful lot of free kicks ... both ways.

In the fourth, there were a couple of "borderline" high tackles that could (read: should) have been paid to ainters, but the maggots let it go.

I think your post is a commentary on your avatar.

I'm not sure. I noticed Craig getting away with holding back on leads, with holding in marking contests, taking his arms out with the majority of it not getting called.

I think that's what GS14 means - it's what triggered Baz's brain snap.

Yep it's exactly what I mean. Reiwoldt was not getting the normal "preferrential" treatment that only he and Lloyd usually receive. He was being treated like all of the rest of the forwards are by the umpires every week, they get nothing.

The Dalai Lama and his entourage crossed the ground after the game and went down the player race.

That's not HH (His Holiness) but I had to look twice.

There is a thread here where it was discussed a week or so ago.
