Together with the one i mentioned earlier from the PA game IIRC where the umpire paid a mark to a bloke 5m off the contest who had the ball punched to him for a 'mark', they are the 2 worst decisions i've ever seen in my time watching football. Both against us.
That's happened twice this season, I've never seen it before in history even back when we only had one umpire.

An absolute disgrace. Are they making mistakes or ???. You have to wonder. Having said that we are not helping ourselves so far, Dawks have adapted to the conditions better.
The Cerra 50m howler aside, umps arent the difference thus far. It's terrible ground positioning and trying to play dry weather footy. Take territory (off the ground preferably) and stop playing pack footy (they are sitting off and getting the footy when it spills or squirts out).
In these conditions you get it forward whichever way. Kick off the ground, knock on etc, as long as it's moving forward, then keep it locked in the F50 when we have it.

We needed to play Hawthorn last week...lol.

Agreed, the Dawks are sitting out the back waiting for a dumb blind handballs forward, that said the howlers have turned the game beyond doubt.

Just reshowed the 50m penalty we spoke about earlier.
Isolating the audio and showing the vision.

100% said play on.
100% put his arms up the air to signal it.
As soon as he did he tried to 'take it back' and said 'wait' i believe.
Then blew the whistle and gave a 50m against us for going over the mark.

There is simply no way for the AFL to defend that. Its as clear of a f*** up as you will ever see.

But the AFL will tell you that the umpiring is the best its ever been???
