2012 Grand Final
We are totally screwed.
Stevic got Whoreforlorn into the GF in 2012, by totally screwing Adelaide. Was single handedly accountable for the 21-12 free kick count against us in the grand final. Got them over the line in this years Prelim by giving every 50/50 free kick in favour of Hawthorn, and that last holding the ball against Port in the Prelim final he may as well have waved his Hawthorn membership ticket instead of blowing the whistle.
He is a certified paid up member of the HFC and we are seriously in trouble with him "umpiring" because the bloke is a cheat.
Bet there is no complaints on the Big Footy or other Hawthorn Boards about Stevics appointment.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Darren Goldspink was once the whipping boy here,wasn't he?
In 2005 , he did not officiate in our 4-point loss v West Coast - which , ironically , was blamed (by some) on poor umpiring.
Goldy - or as I prefer to call him , Lucky (as in , lucky for us)- was there in the other three games,which we won.
Umpires Schmumpires.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
I'm fretting about the chosen umpires. But you can't say they cost Port the game - poor kicking did that. If they'd kicked straight in the first quarter they would have won.
Stevic nearly destroyed us in 2012...he's back to finish the job.
Swannies for life!
Don't forget good ole Scotty Mclaren!
I don't buy into the notion that umpires deliberately favour teams, but Stevic so often sees free kicks from the Hawks POV. 50/50s for them are paid and the ones against them aren't to the same extent and it's those that really kill you.
Amazing.
They really are a deluded mob. The problem with them is they think every contest should be a Hawthorn free kick. When it doesn't happen they scream whinge and moan like stuck pigs. Thats why they think the umpires are against them. I have met Hawthorn supporters who will argue that they were hard done by in the 2012 grand final, and it was the umpires that got us home.
As I said amazing.
