    Those are definitely the two...saved me writing it up :-)......the reason they are worse than the Rohan decision is that there were SOME extenuating circumstances explaining the umpire's mistake.....(1) Thomas go his hands to the ball first and (2) Rohan DID land on his back. Still an absolutely dreadful decision. But with the two above you just have to look at them and go HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE????????? So they are clear winners......just ahead of NOT paying a fifty against Burgoyne(?) in the SCG game right at the end.....especially when we had at least 4 50s costing goals (or shots at goal) that should not have been paid....at least 2 against Mike and one against Sammy.

    I'm with Frog on this one. The worst Umpiring decision ever was Chamberlain deciding to pick up a whistle. That decision launched thousands of other poor decisions.

    That Freo game was the angriest I've ever been at a game of footy.

    Come on look on the bright side, if we had won that qualifying final we would have faced Adelaide in the prelim and given our track record against them at the time, we could have easily lots that game. No Grand Final. No Flag.

    Not that I'm aware.

    The Stenglein one has been mentioned though.
