better than against the saints the week before they were f in **** that night they gave em the cup

The umpiring was unbelieveably bad everytime burton or any other forward for the crows got infringed it was play on, all i remember is welsh scoring a goal from 20 out from a free kick that was weak as you cant say umpires make the difference in a loss well not usually in this game it more than cost us but then we shouldnt be surprised when the game is in melbourne (anyone recall the deliberate mooney outta bounds a few years back it has to stop!)

we should never blame the umpires for a loss (plenty of other chances to win) but when when hudson took it out of the ruck that was definitely holding the ball. it was at a crucial stage of the game and would have lauched us deep into attack. i'm sure that umpire will be dropped for that.

hopefully we bounce back against wce this week

when huddo took it out of the ruck and got caught by grif that should have been holding the ball

We had 18 players on the ground - the bulldogs had 21 (3 in white). What a disgraceful effort by the umps!

It amazes me how the opposition can push our 4wds out of marking contests & get away with it yet our backmen can not even look at their opponent & give away a free. i thought the biggest umpiring cheat retired(goldspink) but i still see he has a few brothers left umpiring in the AFL. JUST HAVE A LOOK WHERE MOST OF THE CROWS FREES GENERALLY ARE...... IN THE MIDFIELD,WHERE THE DAMAGE CANT BE DONE!!!!

We actually ended up with more free kicks than the Bulldogs which is surprising.

There were a few questionable decisions going each way but I don't think it was what cost us the game in the end.
