Couldn't disagree more. You're being overly diplomatic. Call it out for the screw up it was. The umpires COMPLETELY helped the dogs. Without the umpire errors we would have definitely won. Sure, we had some passengers but that was because of injury/fatigue. It was a high pressure game that made both teams look average.

The simple fact is that had the pros and cons of the umpiring decisions been reversed we would have won. We were being rodgered by the umpires for the first 3 quarters. The game was umpired as it should have been in the final quarter only after the umpires has seen the differential and realised they'd fallen for the crowd noise. The game was in the balance with five minutes to go when we should have been 3-5 goals in front.
