How does North get away with it?

I have been watching a lot more footy recently because of reduced mobility and it highlighted the poor umpiring we consistently face, as all of us see every week, but my surprise is North's treatment from the umps. I've always thought Boomer should receive an acting award for his efforts to win frees, but what I hadn't seen before was the Umps let them get away with constant sniping with immunity.

We all remember that shit move of Thomas on Ben Reid but yesterdays efforts of Zeibel with knee into Hannabury and Forrito's cheap shot after Tippett's goal was scored by chasing him for another hit from behind. My point is the umpires don't do a thing yet the Pies are crucified for any fifty fifty, and we are not Snipers taking cheap shots like North and their whinging coach.

I would love the umpires boss Campbell to explain the discrepancy in the standard of umpiring the Kangaroos especially when viewed with the harsh treatment of Collingwood. I believe the Sniping cheap shots is coached because Scott was prone to the sly one during his time at Brisbane. Has anyone else noticed the free pass North receive from the Umpires?

I agree. I noticed against us a few weeks ago the snipping and niggling. Clearly coached and easily fixed if the umps had any balls.

More than coincidence they are coached by one of the " whinge twins ".
There weren't many better than those two at sniping and cheapies.
