There were two to Draper that I still don’t (and I’m sure no one) knows what they were for - in marking contests - the umpires just guessed and wanted to pay Essendon frees. He wasn’t touched in either of them, in one he didn’t even go for the contest!
I think it was 5 - 2 our way at quarter time (from memory) and we got a couple of cheap ones, then the emerg umpire came out to talk to one of the field Umpires and all of a sudden it was 15 - 9 their way at three quarter time, including some absolute mind boggling make it up cause they never happened frees.
Essendon got an armchair ride for 2 quarters but in reality they didn’t really need it, their midfield was on top by miles, our backline just kept repelling and they kept missing shots! I reckon half their shots in goal were from
Free kicks and half of those were make believe.
As I said in another post, Essendon fans started leaving when we got a free (grundys 50 I think) in the last - when the umpires stopped cheating for them they knew it was hopeless!
There was a ruck free against I think Cameron in our F50, maybe last qtr where he was thrown out of the way and they paid a free kick against him for holding somehow, that was a real head scratcher!
I’m more annoyed at the umps putting the whistle away and allowing Richmond an eternity to dispose of the ball when tackled. I don’t think we got one free from tackles today and there were a few that were blatant.

I noticed they did that last week too; are they doing that for every game or just bastardising ours?
Was their some easing up on allowable disposal time that we weren't informed of? I for one, missed that memo...
pleased to see that the douche that hit Ginnivin got a week. Dunstall was saying it would only be a fine...... because ...... well, he's an asshole who cant keep his bias out of his commentating.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
Would never have won if that was the case
