Yep and I reckon you could do worse. If I confirm anything I will post it but received this from one of my most trustworthy snitches.

The umpiring has been an utter disgrace all year mate, and I agree there should be an investigation as cheating is possible, these days with betting scandals etc It would have to happen somewhere! Especially with someone like Worobec in charge who I believe did your game today. We had Parry at Basso and a similar free kick count to you guys again this season, he actually hung around near the McDonald stand smiling and carrying on, its no wonder umpires are not respected,and its also no wonder standards continue to fall when the same idiots are running their group re- Sinclair and co. But of course they are untouchable and aren't allowed to be criticised even when blatantly biased!!

Perhaps someone can explain how Schloithe can be given 23 more free kicks than the second placed player in frees for this season. Oh by the way you can add 7 more free kicks to his count after today. As for Parry the sad thing was he was only the second worst umpire in the league game at Basso today. As for Worobec he should be forced to give away from his whistle and a permanent order debarring him from getting within 10 metres of a whistle for the next 75 years. One wouldn't think that it is possible for the umpres to get worse but they are getting worse and exponentially so.

As for Parry he was booed more loudly than Hendrie and Statham after the 2010 GF which is as damning as you can get.

My apologies to Perth supporters for hijacking this topic to vent my spleen. If you had Worobec this afternoon I can fully understand your angst.

Schloithe, Obrien and Nelson duck every time they feel contact you will draw free kicks. Just my opinion but short guys do it often.

Thanks Larry.
Not sure what my reaction would be.
Would love to have Glassy back at Lathlain in a role.

Did you blokes not listen to Marty Atkins last week??
He said he spoke to Glass and he wasnt available and he ruled him out!
Theres no way Dean Cox would coach this club,hed get twice as much being a ruck coach at the Eagles.

Mark my words we will stuff this appointment up i have no doubts about that.

30+ read posts again.
Not suggesting Glass is applicant.

Mate if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would never have believed it. I've never seen an umpire wilfully refuse to pay free kicks to one team like that before. Guinness Book of World Records stuff for 50m penalties paid. What was it 15? Players doing their lolly out of frustration at the blatant bias. It was fkn unbelievable. They completely lost control of that game.

I feel your pain!

All started by the Selwoods..there should actually be a free kick payed against the Ducker, no matter if he gets taken high. These ridiculous rules are actually making the game more dangerous and officiated by people who have zero feel for the game= a dangerous combo

Or players could grow a brain, realise they are about to tackle a serial ducker and target their hips not their upper arms.

Or players could just run through the pricks.
