It's also been revealed in audio that the umpire didn't hear anything. He says to Alex Pierce, I didn't hear anything so umpire Whetton made it up..... So he admitted on the field that he didn't hear anything. He didn't hear what was said he's paid the Centre kick because he's heard a swear word but the swear word he didn't know it was directed at him. He didn't even hear what was said so you've never got umpires just making stuff up.... It is the worst decision in the history of the game that I've seen. The ball was touched twice, actually three times you got four umpires out there that could not see that and then you've got an empire making up a dissent call that he didn't hear. why do I come to the conclusion that this game was rigged? Why do I suddenly come to that conclusion?

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

Possible you say ,how about 100% rigged bro.😊

[@blueycarlton]

If it was rigged, why wasn't the deliberate oob on the full paid to Carlton in its forward line? Why wasn't Curnow paid a free kick in marking contests as he was scragged on most occasions. Why did Freo get 6 goals from free kicks, most dead in front? If the ball was called touched then Cottrell could have handballed to another Carlton player running towards the goal. It was undisciplined play from Freo, the ruckman instead of dropping the ball to his feet and forcing another ball up, hits it to Hewitt. Then, when there was still 40 seconds on the clock, swearing at the umpire, gives up a free dead in front. Poor play, Fremantle only have themselves to blame.

Absolute rubbish that umpires can influence the game by "gifting" a goal to a particular team. The dissent occurs during the pause in play and the ball was on its way back to the centre, did not infringe on Carlton at all so why should they benefit? Just send the bloke a fine during the week for abusing the ump and ball it up. The other I'd like to see gone is the umps choosing when a team gets paid advantage after a free kick. What a joke that they can pay "no advantage" to a team and call the ball back or on the flip side, pay it when it's not there...

[@themetalpig7613]

Yeah should be a fine. Or it should just be a free to the ruckman in the center.

basically proves why either a captain's review, or a player review is needed, where umpires have gotten it wrong so badly, that has potentially altered the outcome of a game, for a professional league, it is nowhere near good enough, we have seen it with the Sydney/Adelaide game last year, the two Adelaide/Collingwood games last season where a players call would have provided the only correct call, a goal for Adelaide, a free to Collingwood in the first game, and the free kick to Adelaide in the second game at the MCG. and how many more have there been that were probably more egregious than those three examples. the dissent penalty rule is complete nonsense, and should be abolished, as it really isn't worth the ink it was written with.

I’m sorry but both clubs had ample chance to put the game away. The blues had 7 frees to freos 14 at ones point 6 of freos resulting in direct goals - the frees were there but it’s not like the umps were intentionally rigging it against Freo. Dees hit the post 3 times in the semi which would have ended the game. You and all those other conspiracy people are the saddest and biggest soooks I’ve ever seen. Grown men crying because the team they hate is winning 😂 it’s embarrassing Explain to me how both Freo and Melbourne choke in commanding positions with many chances to put a game away were robbed?

[@petermcculloch4933]

We are constantly reminded about how sport helps to develop good character yet players who were obviously aware the umpire made a mistake, chose not to inform him.They elected to cheat.

[@trevorstevenson4038]

Rigged.

[@Comatosedpeanut]

Of course it is, they literally had an ex saints player umpiring st kilda game the other week. It’s corrupt as.

[@loufyyy]

That’s why Freo lead the league in goals from frees! Thats why Freo only scored 3 goals that weren’t from direct free kicks! Another professional victim.

[@terrysowter4798]

So what's your point? That's one player I noticed you haven't mentioned both Ryan and Pearce hanging of Curnow all game. In fact if Clarke had shut his mouth the shockers might have had a chance from the centre. So it's obviously a lack of discipline or the captain doesn't have control of his players. Take your pick, but either way we got the four points and a 4&0 record.

[@joshuasadler9243]

We need to do a full inquiry into the umpires. They are the worst they jave ever been so a full review into thier systems and training is necessary. They have zero accountability and every year its looking more corrupt.

[@Sam-zu8pc]

At the ground deaf freddy could hear the ball was touched. Disgraceful umpiring. The umpires should NEVER determine the outcome of any game. And I’m not a dockers supporter.

[@stevep2430]

A lot of Carlton players would of known it was touched, but I guess it is not cricket where the batsman would of been called back for wrongful dismissal.

[@blueycarlton]

When was a batsman last recalled in a Test Match?

[@stevep2430]

@@blueycarlton New Zealand veteran Daniel Vettori was given the ICC Spirit of Cricket award in 2012 for this gesture in a hard-fought tie against Zimbabwe. Vettori accidentally collided with non-striker Malcolm Waller during his follow-through that stopped Waller from taking a single but by that time the batsman at crease Regis Chakabva had come too far down the track to get back. Kiwi wicket keeper Reece Young, whipped the bails but Vettori immediately withdrew the dismissal, saying that it was his collision which had caused the confusion in the middle.

[@blueycarlton]

@@stevep2430 12 years ago against test minows how many tests played since? Would it happen against Australia, India or England, I doubt it. Vetorri is a nice bloke, but would he call back a batsmen who was incorrectly given out after he "nicked" it and the batting team had used up its referrals?

@@blueycarlton Yes it has, it is called sportsmanship. Since then the review system has been applied and players have the right to review a decision.

I’ve never understood why they use the shittest cameras that blur from frame to frame for the reviews and then in this video they have vision from the front on angle in clear slow motion blur free. The afl clearly has better cameras around the ground so why not start using them for the review arc

[@azzajames7661]

Carlton were pushing forward and overwhelming freo and so freo panicked and it cost them the game. Carlton did the same thing two years ago and now they are not panicking, but are holding their nerve and winning these games. Freo will learn and next time won't make the same mistakes again😜

official afl position after incident of umpire corruption: "yes, we concede there were umpiring mistakes that cost freo the game, but let's move on... put this behind us. we're sure this sort of thing won't happen again. in the fullness of time as voss, cripps & our beloved melbourne establishment club carlton hold that cup aloft, who will remember these little discrete leg-ups along the way? let's move on! let's not feel cheated or robbed. it's just the afl way!"

I used to watch nearly EVERY FOOTY GAME every week.. Now I have completely lost interest.. To top it off, we have this BS comments from Robbo, who couldn't care less cause it's Freo "Move on, move on already" and Gerrard who HARDLY EVER has a strong opinions on anything and always walking the fine line.. I'm finding myself losing interest in my favourite sport in this world and it bloody SUCKS!!

[@terrysowter4798]

Hold all the post mortems you like. Fact is the record and the ladder will show. Carlton four wins and no loses. I find it interesting no one is talking about the seven goals from contentious free kicks in front of goals for Freo. And for the cherry on top the same umpire who paid cottrells mark, Alex Whetton (19) is the same clown who gifted Freo the seven goals.

[@aussieintexas61]

they had 2 good tackles resulted in goals. mcgoverns free against could have gone either way. so they still got a few frees no one is talking about. im sure there were marks paid and not paid all day, that were touched all weekend all season.

[@michaelkuhni4443]

Our goals from frees came from good defensive pressure and holding the ball decisions. Which ones weren´t there? The McGovern arm chop where he gets none of the ball? Don´t forget you got a pretty cheap one for holding against Draper, in what was a pretty nothing entry..

[@nswagerp]

Put 8 umpires on the ground. 4 umpires each side of play. The game has to correct this stuff too much money involved with sponsorship of each club. Disgrace

[@scottlewington8439]

Freo supporters arrogantly just assume that if it hadn’t been for the last two goals Carlton kicked, then they would have won it. Carlton had the momentum. It is what it is. How in the hell can the umpires have seen such a line ball scrape of a ball on someone’s hair? Just a ridiculous assumption!

[@stuhead7607]

Umpiring has been questionable all season. There are 4 of them on field, yet mistakes continue to be made each game, and one team suffers. The ARC should be used in these situations when inside 50? Freo players or any defender wouldn’t argue if there was nothing in it. The AFL needs a video umpire for the entire game, it won’t slow the game it will ensure consistency. How many cameras does ch7 have over 20+ yet this wasn’t available for the ARC…unbelievable! Shut up Robbo……you pick and choose what to support, subjective analyst / typist ….. move on!

The only people who didn't know the ball was touched where all the officiating umpires. The AFL need to find some thick skinned umpires the thin skinned ones are sight impaired. Worse that that they are on a power trip and like excercising their immense power. The ball looked more like a pinball that an AFL mark.

[@gregory-gm2te]

The umpires love the spotlight and don't care about the obvious mistakes. Robbo is a flog... Obvious cheating by the umpires.
