We came up against the best team in the comp and our game plan more than stood up to them (we even tore them to shreds from time to time). Clean up our ball use and our horrendous goal kicking and we would’ve won that comfortably. Swans had good pressure and efficiency but I don’t think...

The appropriate response would be an axe swinging and this game being a line in the sand moment where we come out next week and smash the bulldogs. But it won’t be, the mediocrity will continue and at best we win next week by 4 or 5 goals before we spud it up a week or two later.

Should invite some of the old dockers from the 2000s era to the club before the next derby, this group has never shown any Freo heart in derbies

Tell me it’s not these ******* umps Darling leaps like a ballerina and they race to pay him a free kick 🙄

Reid drags it in, no free seriously cmon

Two sets of rules and it’s the difference between goals at either end. It’s blatant rigging but what can you do ?

Reid’s already a typical Eagles cheating prick Fits in perfectly

How the heck is that a mark to darling? Clearly off Pearces fist

One thing we’ve learnt from this game is that Carlton fans might be more insufferable than West Coast fans and that’s hard to do. On a serious note, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an umpire can pay a dissent free without even having heard what was said. How does anyone hold the umpire...

Every year these ******* campaigner umpires hand Carlton a ******* win against us

This is absolutely rigged

There’s no way you could say that was touched when the soft call was a goal, no deviation in ball or fingers.

North have come out all fired up, thrown their best punches, been handed everything by the umps and they’re only two goals up. We improve our ball use and we take over as we did last week.

We’re being given no chance by these umps, they just won’t pay us a thing

His improvement came from an increased effort and work rate, clearly that was just to help himself get out of Freo What a D*ck

I can’t even be mad with our team, I’ve never seen a team just be handed free kicks like that. No wonder our defence fell apart, our midfield wasn’t even given a chance to compete

This is ridiculous, they’ve just been handed a win WHERE’S O’MEARA’S FREE ??!

Umps have swung the momentum and ended the game

All through pre-season I had these flashbacks to seasons like 2007 and 2011 where we followed up a good season with big talk and couldn’t back it up

What pisses me off the most is we’re being out worked every week, the players are always looking for the next rest and never chase hard. The one player who seems to be working hard is Banfield, what a surprise, the one player made to work for his spot is working the hardest

This team is so lazy and soft, they just want everything easy

Yeah that’s absolutely pathetic, a summer of all talk and a bunch of players that are too lazy to work hard. I’ve had enough of hearing how good our young mids are, they’re an absolute liability, never win the contest and just bomb it on our forwards heads. Serong can gtfo tbh, gets beaten...

Eh Collingwood have dominated and we’re only 4-5 goals down, we have massive room for improvement and are a good second half side

Had an absolute stereotype of an Eagles fan (with his expensive watch, “high fashion” jacket and “I’m better than everyone” attitude) have a go at me tonight because apparently I “don’t know the rules”, 5 mins later the eagles kick it out on the full and you bet I let him know my understanding...

That’s 3 goals Melbourne got from appalling umpiring

THESE ******* UMPIRES!!!!

Wtf was that HTB against Brayshaw Deliberate rushed behind not paid Clear throw allowed

This umpiring is unbelievable, push in the back doesn’t exist apparently and we basically have to get decapitated before they’ll even consider giving us a free

I’m the biggest complainer about clashes in the AFL but I’ve always hated how soccer teams have kits that look nothing like their colours, I’m ok with white being sort of a “universal” colour for clash jumpers

If it was only about money then every team would have 3 or more jumpers each minimum (home,away,clash,preseason etc.) I whipped up something vaguely similar to this after last years retro round ….
