We were afforded less chances by lopsided umpiring. It's an old song, but as long as they're playing the music I'll be dancing.

The only way we fix this high contact sh.t decisions, is to call "play on" when a player ducks his head. Is it going to take someone to get a major neck injury or God forbid, become a quadraplegic, before those clowns at the AFL and KB and his oompa loompa rules committee change the rules??
Players will stop ducking when its called play on....... Easy!
Oh and when the umpires learn common sense.

Shaun Ryan, Brett Rosebury and Chris Donlon have been chosen to umpire the big one on saturday.
Ryan and Rosebury shafted us on friday night - will be interesting if they'll be as quick to blow the whistle in the last 1/4 of a Grand Final on saturday as they were last week?

Adelaide Hawk; I rarely ever watch a game these days not involving Hawthorn. The game simply does not have the allure it once had. A number of times said:

Magpies blow: Umpire Shaun Ryan in doubt for Grand Final

Collingwood has been dealt a fresh injury blow in the lead-up to this week's Grand Final against Geelong.
It seems Umpire Shaun Ryan is in doubt for the clash due to a throat infection.
Clearly best on ground last Friday night when he single-handedly turned the game the Magpies way
Ryan is believed to have injured his tonsils in the dying moments of Friday night's match.
We understand Ryan swallowed his whistle as Hawk captain Luke Hodge was caught high by one of the Filth deep in the Hawks' forward line.
The Magpies unimaginatively described the potential loss of Ryan, who led the club in defensive-50 rebounds on Friday night, as a "cruel blow".
"I'm not sure how we're going to replace him" Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse said.
"His ability to come through in the clutch week after week for us, drives me to tears."
