You can't be serious! I dislike Eddie & Collingwood as much as the next guy. But fixing AFL games?? It's just not cricket!

lol you have to be kidding, I wish it was that easy. It's a recent trend, the umpiring has been awful for the majority of games this season. Did you watch the Port game? : I've seen amatures make better or at least consistent calls. The umpires should be suspended and or fined for such blatant disregard of reality. Sack em all I say, let some SANFL, VFL and GFL umpires have a go, they can't possibly do any worse.

Yes i admit there were some bad desicions but even if these were taken out Collingwood still ran over them in the second half.They were definately the better side on the day.

I can't believe i just wrote that. :

I go for the bears and i just think on a day like that. There is no room for error with umpiring. it is the next biggest game apart from grand final day.
: Glad for my wallet collingwood won though lol.

I think fairmont99 gets the four points for this one.
I was at "that port game" and the umpiring was so bad it had us power fans fighting amongst ourselves. ing_sm
The umpires need a rocket up em this season :

MAAAAAAAAAAAATE that game was the worst umpiring i have ever seen (im an essendon supporter if ya cant tell lol) i think the dons may have lost without the bad decisions but i just couldnt beleive some of the things i saw especially infront of goals. Without a doubt malthouse sent the the boys out for some acting lessons before the game also, I reckon they thought hey its anzac day lets go out and lay down like the french!!

Apart from the fact you're talking pure dribble... You have a full keyboard & it would be appreciated if you use it.

I Love Eddie, his all Football, put sometimes he does swing to the pies side when he use to call the game friday night but its just not Eddie.. But yes the umps do swing to one side its all about the umps you get. The Port Saints Game was sorta the same as the Pies Ess game.

I am a Bomber supporter and member. I think the umpiring in general, not bias to anyone, has been bloody awful this year, but most likely is reflective of how crap the game is becoming.........just waiting to they have tabards with GS and GD etc written on them.....maybe rugby the go!!
