In particular in the 2nd half he basically caused a 4 goal swing with decisions given from long range. In one case he awarded a free kick against us from long range for front on contact, except it was our player who was taken front!
The umpiring was puzzling at best ?
The conditions weren’t conducive to good footy. About the only thing the commentators got right was calling the venue “Very Windy Hill”. One shot for goal into the wind dropped short almost vertically … into the lap of a Bombres forward.
The Essendon team was a lot stronger than the sides they have fielded previously. They’ve found a player in D’Ambrosio and Bryan is promising ?
Stocker played well, as did Setterfield, Hayes and Dow. Durdin was shaky early but improved as the game went on.
