This reversal of the Norway goal was disgraceful. If the ref couldnt see the blatant dive or flopping by the defender then its any wonder I cant watch the game (other than the WC).

Quote from: DJC – on

The Foxtel commentators expressed the opinion that the umpires had lost all confidence and were reluctant to make decisions.  They seemed to be waiting to see what happened next before making very late calls.

The conditions didn't help, but that standard of umpiring is not acceptable in any circumstances.
Comment of the season: J Dunstall "These blokes can make plans for September"

Umps were bad but they weren't the reason for our 10.5 goal loss.

I think we should beat Coll, firstly there are tempests forecast.
Secondly, no Shultz who like Elliot can hurt us and Naicos looks sore. Either way, we need to play close attention to both.
We need to go back to what I said prior to the Haw game (which we didnt do) and that play our way to win not play to not lose.
Fraser said it in the presser, we got numbers sucked into the inside and Haw punished us on the outside, Coll will do the same with out proper attention to detail. We'll miss George (haven't heard the official report but he wont play).
I persist with Riley and maybe play Pitto as well (if for nothing else just to throw a spanner in the works).
Kemp is on shaky ground and should consider himself luck if he doesnt get dropped.
Ditto Ison but I'd keep him in for different reasons.
Be nice if we could get Weits back but I doubt it.
We need to do a lot right and not a lot wrong to beat this mob at the G.
