How bad has the umpiring been?!!!!!

Woeful...only the biased commentary on Foxtel has been worse...

Our blokes are getting hacked in marking contests and getting nothing......

Going to take a big effort to win this game.....GC have the younger legs and we need a decent lad at 3/4 time....hopefully Nicholls stays off and Dixon has to ruck
and stays away from FF.
Curnow doing ok on Ablett...
Robbo been terrible, Carrazzo not much better, ditto for Gibbs..
Simpson and Walker holding the backline together...the amigos are suited by the warm conditions and Henderson has been very good again.

Campbell Brown needs knocking out....if Robbo could run into him it could be his best touch for the day......

Watsons work on the ground is non existant and he gives up to easily...

Umpiring has been ordinary. The Lucas free in the first for not attemtping to dispose of the ball is fine, I like the rule, but to pick one out crapes me, I just want consistency.

I haven't seen any of the game but surprised that there is so much negative stuff about Robbo. Is he doing a lot of the hard stuff behind the scenes as usual or has he just lost the plot?
Doesn't know what the plot is

I am surprised that there has been so much negativity towards him. I admit it seems he is far from the sharpest tool in the shed but I respect and value him in our team because he will never take a backwards step. With the team that we have, a hard player like Robbo is of significant value despite the stupid mistakes

that's only because we have a team of weak soft non sheparding weak tacklers

Nicholls being subbed so Dixon will need to stay in the ruck

Hell!! if Watson had guts, determination and the will to throw himself into the contest, he would be a terrific player when combining that with his kicking. Unfortunately he doesn't have the first three qualities I mentioned. What a waste of what could have been a great talent.
