    Are you people trying to make me angry?

    I remember McPhee being in front of the Member's Stand but can't remember the year.

    I'm pretty sure she remembers that game. I'm sure she does because it was the last game they attended together....lol

    And Yvonne, you are right on all counts, McPhee out of bounds, McVeigh goal and one point margin, they don't come much smaller.

    EDIT: I knew I had this pic somewhere. By the time he kicked it with his left foot, he was close to kicking the fence.

    Fence be buggered!!!! He stood on my toes and I was up in the Noble that night. Along with my Essendon supporting member wife. How that yellow germ in the background couldn't see that McPhee was out of bounds is one of lifes great mysteries.

    Not the worst decision of all time. That honour belongs to the Leo Barry/Stenglein as noted by your good self.

    Surely, the worst umpiring decision of all, has to be Ray Chamberlain deciding to give up a job as a Phys Ed teacher to become an AFL umpire ... How much worse could it get?

    RWO should definitely have a like feature.

    This decision was one of a series that set my teeth on edge eevn now. The Bird "non-mark" courtesy of a clumsy, illegal spoil by Hodge and then the free TO HODGE for a much lesser offence was adding insult to injury.

    Surely the three 50 metre penalties in a row against Bad Barry rate right up there .The Hawthorn players were sticking their heads underneath his arms and totally sucking the umpires in.Pathetic umpiring although the Barry /Stenglein mistake was monumental and cost us!

    So, join in the chorus
    And sing it one and all,
    Join in the chorus,
    The worst free kick of all.

    Good old McInerney,
    A maggot you'll agree,
    Not sure he's worse than Chamberlain,
    we'll have to wait and see....

    Disagree on this one. I saw it as Hall getting sucked in, in a pathetic effort of self serving insolence when we had all the momentum. Watching replays of games in 2012 I have noticed the incredible discipline of players in all aspects of the game. For example when opposition players were over the ball our players clearly avoided making head high or even any contact if they were a fraction second to the ball, to prevent giving away a free. Pity BBH didn't have the same disciplines.
