Seriously BAD performance yesterday from the three fluro clowns. I'd be stunned if they all got a game next week. That idiot who stopped the game in general play for a blood rule 100m away should be delisted, he's got no idea. Wait for a stoppage. The number of 8m kicks paid as marks, plus some shocking missed in the back and holding the ball decisions topped off a very favourable day for the Hawks. Those three cannot be given a VFL showcase match for the remainder of the season. If the umpiring panel reckon that trio are in the best six in the VFL then there are serious problems. Bring back Ray Chamberlain!

I thought that they were only supposed to hold up play for the blood rule at a stoppage. Was also disappointed with the way the umpire in charge at the resumption of play handled the protests of the Werribee players. He could've made the best of a bad situation by admitting that the other umpires had made a mistake instead of carrying on the way he did.
