State of Umpiring [merged]

And Broad gets taken high and it’s ignored for a holding the ball

Should have knocked it through.
He drew the contact and didn't dispose of the ball, had opportunity imo

Cmon Andy he was tackled immediately and high too. At worst it’s a ball up.

We’ve been tackling these guys all day and the balls been dropped or thrown and we’ve gotten only 1 call.

My take is that he seen that dirty sniper Pickett coming for him and tried to defend himself

Killed the game the pricks

Gave Melbourne a nice kick start when they most needed it.....

I rarely pot umpires, they've got a tough job

But for 3qtrs HTB was non existent

Then in the final qtr it was HTB heaven for the Dees. They got at least 6 or more

Those decisions had a significant bearing on the final result

A great game of footy ruined by whistle happy morons in the final qtr

When you think about it it must be very deflating playing you guts out only to have all your hard effort stollen from you. Getting up from this every week would be very rough and you can see how we can drop off at times. Credit to our guys fighting through this week after week.

I’m sick of being stuffed over by the umpires - I won’t be renewing my membership until the club takes a stance publicly

And the worse thing as a player is you aren’t allowed to show your displeasure otherwise you get hit with dissent

The Hopper one to the letter of the law was correct

BUT... 9 times out of 10 it doesn't get paid. 

While Gawn should be embarrassed by his pathetic acting skills, it was stupid by Noah. Again under the rules it's 50 but for every one that gets paid a dozen don't

Both show how inconsistent the umpires are. It continues to cost teams games

I'm staggered that no one's mentioned the May, drop, throw call it what you like in the third down towards the Ponsford end Warne Stand side. The first of 2 defining moments in the 3rd qtr. It being the first and the Grimes deliberate being the 2nd

Is it correct we got only 1 free kick after half time bewildering.

Free kicks were 5 - 2 our way at half time. Finished 9 - 11, so 4 frees to 9 in the 2nd half.
