Umpiring rants ~ receive our scorn

Change his name to Charlie Curnow and the umpires will not miss even the slightest holding.

Im lucky enough to watch the Blues play most weeks and yeah it’s night and day. The more players you watch, the more obvious it is some players are umpired differently to others

Nick already gets slated by oppo supporters as a protected species. Imagine if we went public. It would be merciless for the kid.

I would certainly hope that the Club is taking concerns to the AFL as required. But going public won’t help us or more importantly Nick.

So Friday night was the last game I had been to live (I live interstate) since we beat the Swans at the MCG last year, and the constant scragging of Nick was incredible to see, I can't believe how someone was hanging off him the whole effing game.

Shame on the umpires, and to be frank, shame on us, for doing nothing to address it. I didn't see the type of blocking a clearances I saw last year, and eff all aggression from team mates at the scragging player either

It was blatant, we could see it twenty rows back (I had the binoculars though). There is no $�$%^%%$ way FOUR umpires are missing it.

Time for the club to speak up about it.

De Goey also getting held/blocked, but not as much. And he seems to be paying the Trav Cloke tax (you’re big and strong).

Mate, I was on Level 4 and I wear glasses, it was as clear as the nose on your face from up there!

I sincerely hope the club hasn’t held back behind closed doors with AFL HQ. Not only player welfare and the fairness of the game, but has everyone forgotten the major umpire Brownlow betting scandal?

Proof it was only because Ginni played for us

It was so obvious v us. They stoop low and then run head first into an opposition player. They should have their neck ripped off and it’s Mitchell taking the piss and he should be called out for dangerous tactics which make a mockery of the concussion situation. Pies wouldn’t get any of these frees and if it was happening at our club we would be crucified.

And the chicken wing tackle with Geelong vs us. Dangerfield is a hypocrite

Absolute one-sided Carlton biased farce. Umpires teamed us. Again. I am so sick of the illegal holds on Daicos

Another fiasco from these cheating fluorescent whistled lumps of shit.
Sick of jumping off the couch and yelling at TV at all the Carlton charity, while the same shit gets done to us for "play on" .
Losing my voice, and need a panadol now.

Shocking display that played into Scums hands. Tried sooo hard to get them over line. Love to know free count 8-4 to them was last time they displayed. We tackled great with no reward. Over it. Glad we won regardless

[Dudham]

Carlton had 51 tackles. I reckon half of those were on Nick without the ball.
