I was at Thebarton yesterday.
Were you?
If you were you'd have seen the most inappropriate performance Umpiring wise in the great history of the SANFL.
WWT were hand-served 4 goals out of 8 in the second stanza.
Sturt were disheartened, disallusioned and beyond return in the 3rd. Stanza. To Our Credit we showed the passionate SANFL Community we can defy unfair, biased, home-town based decisions.
We need a total review of RW.
Thanks!
Brother If you were at Thebarton Oval you would have seen the most awful interpretation of the 25 metre penalty .That is if 1 player touched the one going for the ball in a marking contest, it was a 25 metre straight away no matter if in the contest or not. And only one umpire was paying it that way.
And if YOU were watching the game you should have seen the UMPIRE/UMPIRES shielding their eyes when umpiring the grandstand side.THIS was the biggest problem with the umpires they missed so many frees to both sides .Including a few throws from Sturt players caught holding the ball.
Why did sturt get so many frees in the first term .They played footy like Centrals do something your coach probably learnt from his stint at Elizabeth.After that they returned to the same old Sturt a bit of Pressure and the team fell like a pack of cards !!!
Perhaps you should take your double blue and perhaps white coloured glasses off and realise your team has problems!!!
Go the mighty Eagles !!!!
Oh can sturt beat a team wearing a slash jumper ?
2 out of 2 loses this year say they can not !!!
