There was absolutely no need to dump players after they had disposed of the ball, its poor and undisciplined. Its a weak as piss to bring it up IMO, it covers up Carlton's shortfalls. And can I say, Carlton supporters are the worst at it. I got a mate of mine who text me during games and ALWAYS "the umpires this, the umpires that", its BS AFAIC! Get our crap together Carlton and umpiring (good or bad) goes away. I heard nothing (or at least SFA) on umpiring after the Geel and Cheats games (ie W's), it seems to get highlighted most when we lose.
Yep blaming the umps is an easy out for lack of effort, when you play and attack the ball properly most times the umpiring looks after itself. The scoreboard flattered us and the umpiring had nothing to do with the result.
