LOL Grassy you said SD , flowers with me.....not SD , flowers and me mate......just find it ironic the umps have helped SD have a better chance next week by ignoring another obvious free kick in a teams forward line...thus preventing the aligned EP team from securing 5th spot......find it hilarious if the umps had done their job like 42 and his SD cohorts wanted to do, EP would be playing finals next week chocca block full of WCE players v SD!....thank fark the umps are consistent eh?......hence the need for President Pete to give interflora a buzz next week......

Thankyou Swandog, disgraceful display and they deserved the send off they got

Wonder if WCE will have a whisper into the WAFL ear about that decision and get that ump sent to outback footy for his penance.....well done WP....you live to fight another day....more so at the expense of an ex WP legend too....ouch!

Enjoy your frozen mothballs

Cheers swandog....great comeback too mate....so swandog original...LOL....

There is no doubt it could have been paid, from my vantage point it looked as though he bent the knees to attract it, but did you watch the entire game ??? Count how many 50m penalties they got resulting in goals..........

I skimmed through enough to see how bad the umpiring was, that decision was a high tackle all day every day absolutely no doubt
