Is it just me or do the pies always seem to get on the right side of dubious umpiring calls in close games?
There are too many examples for this just to be a coincidence.Just a couple of examples.
Daicos (who although brilliant appears to be umpired different to other players) gets tackled near North goal late in the game – done cold – clear holding the ball – nope no free
He did the same thing against the Bulldogs two weeks ago with the game on a knifes edge – again no free.
Yet Libba goes in gets in ball, has 10 people pile on top – holding the ball. Not sure how he is supposed to get that out?
I thought holding the ball was incorrect disposal – Naicos clearly didn’t dispose of the ball correctly on both occasions but play on??
Then we have Scott take a mark on the wing – Collingwood players charge at him no 50m.
They have paid that in every other game on the weekend, if you don’t stand the mark or move off the mark 50m much less if you charge at the guy with the ball.
Even if we go back to the grand final last year, late in the game Brisbane called to play on but clearly didn’t move off his line, collingwood swoop on another favorable decision and clear the ball from the lions 50Just sayin – happens too often to be a mere coincidence.
Maybe pies are paying for the umps end of year trip to the Bahamas.I wouldn’t be surprised if the more popularly supported teams didn’t receive unofficial ‘concessions’ when it comes to anything that would damage their brand/results/popularity, god forbid suspend a young hero like Nick Daicos for any reason lol.
Probably decisions made in secret rooms with people we don’t know about who are behind the big calls regarding the whole industry in order to preserve the profit making ability of the AFL.hey Russty remember when I told you about Clarry being out for a long time 2 years back and everyone poo pooed it ,well the same source tells me the dees are heavily into Battle ,over a mill 7 years and Stengle is on the cards to trade with Clarry looks like the crows will make a play for Petty so they see Battle as a like for like Stengle would suit the dees and that trade seems logical / You hear these rumours all the time but not from where this comes from JUST SAYIN
