Thread: Grand final umpires

  1. #37
    It wasn't their decisions so much as non decisions. The fall into the back by rampe was paid, the fall at the other wasn't. The allowing Spangher and lake to belt buddy after marking was basically like watching country footy where backs are allowed to make forwards earn kicks.

    Stevic is a terribly one sided umpire.

    Made no difference in the game

    Stevic is a terrible umpire. Umpires didnt influence the result yesterday but stevic made sure he would get an invite to the hawks after party as he continued his usual level of awfulness.

    Well said...yes the umpires made no difference to the result on Saturday. But still annoying...we do not get the 50/50 frees unlike the opposition. Buddy should have received 1, possibly 2 50m after his head was buried into the turf by Lake and Gibson. Anyhoo...does not matter now.
    Swannies for life!

    In the 1st qtr I think the frees were 5 to 2 and a couple of their ones were for shots at goal.

    Stevic and Nicholls gave out 50 mtr penalties against us, but when Buddy got buried into the MCG turf with an elbow to the head, and had his face hit by Spangher - nothing. During the year if you touched someone in the head it was 50 straight away.

    It didn't change the game but all the 50/50 decisions went against us.

    We could have had Longmire, Dew and Blakey umpire that game and it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference.

    I know. They weren't in the coaches box already.
