"I know others will play it down... It had a massive impact on the game." David King believes the Bombers were significantly disadvantaged by poor umpiring decisions in their loss to Geelong. Whateley | #AFL

@WhateleySEN The “but they won the free kick count” crowd is comical…until it happens to their team. The truth is that 10 minutes turned the game, we were poor after that and needed to be better…they’re the facts

@WhateleySEN One game this year that Geelong got the rub of the green and the AFL world loses its collective minds

@WhateleySEN they lost by 45 points and had 3 more free kicks

@WhateleySEN swings and roundabouts

@WhateleySEN Let’s just get one thing straight even if Draper gets the free kick there’s no guarantee he kicks the goal, Menzie made the decision not to keep the ball in play and paid the price, Ridley took a choice not to attempt to kick the ball when he could’ve. 1/2

@WhateleySEN Essendon played poorly @davidking34 respectfully the umpires excuse doesn’t wash you play to whistle not if’s and but’s. The real geelong showed up been missing for the last 7 weeks whether it continues who knows but umpires excuse that’s a cop out.

@WhateleySEN Massive impact on game but bombers should have used it as motivation instead of throwing the toys out of the cot.

@WhateleySEN Won the free kick count by 3 and still sooking. Take the L.

@WhateleySEN I had mates who hate Essendon texting me saying this is rubbish. Now if @davidking34 is saying it well that carry’s weight cause he’s not exactly our biggest fan either.

@WhateleySEN Geelong had kicked 1.2 in the five minutes before the Gary Rohan goal. What actual “momentum” did the decision stop???
