AFLW R6 - Carlton Vs Geelong - Sun 12:40 @ Ikon

I think it was something like 11-12 at 3/4 time.

I made a comment about the umps trying to keep the cats in it, but even that has shocked me!

The Umpiring was very ordinary. It cost us 3 goals and they didn't get many more than that. We couldn't get a free for love or money.
The one that stuck out the most was a bit of lay from Maddy Prespakis, who dove into the pack, grabbed the ball cleanly and handballed it out, only to be penalized for a below the knee.
I was very vocal about that one!
Another that stuck out was a 2 handed shove on Mua that pushed her under the ball. The Geelong player than grabbed the ball and was not penalized. It led directly to a goal. It couldn't have been any more obvious, but it was totally ignored. Then, the Cats got a free just before the 3/4 time siren for the softest in-the-back I think I have ever seen.
I was livid, there was no doubt about that.

As long as we continue to recruit umpires from Yooralla and similar places, the umpiring will remain guesswork.
