They say to catch a criminal you first have to find his motive.

A disgrace Geisch the Goose has to go, strip their colours and numbers.
-
I thought you are meant to get a free if you play in front and get scragged, pushed in the back or your arms chopped :banghead.
And the League wonders why supporters believe umpiring standards have fallen at AFL level ::). It also causes frustration onfield which starts melees.
-
Umpire 32. Malaka Mollison was scarcely any better. Jack is still being held apparently. :help
-
The afl set this game up ! Mcburney and this flog to put the dagger into our season!
Norf = soft draw and get into the finals at all costs (afl)

Shafted by the umpires again. Terrible decisions & 50 metre penaties. AFL needs to investigate this game & the umpires. They were clearly against us. :banghead

Harden up?LMAOOO.
The umpires raped us today.

Was a circus today.
We had the poo end of the stick but North got some shockers against them as well.
Anyone who doesn't say umpiring decisions effects game they have rocks in there heads. Players change their own style determined on how strict the umpires are, if they are hot pinging diving on the ball you'll see players start to hesitate more often, if they are letting Scott Thompson hold Riewoldt all day, he'll continue to do it.
Found myself after every 2-3 contests I'd flick my eyes to the ump to see what he was doing. Disgraceful scenario to occur when spectating and watching the umpires to see what random decision they pay.
The deliberate out of bounds against Cotchin was the worst decision in the history of the game.
-
Watching the replay on Foxtel and even Bruce and the boys are baffled by the umpiring.
They lost it with the Cotch deliberate out of bounds. The Lindsay Thomas free against Morris and various others. Even Timmy piped up and said these umps have lost the feel of the game after the Cotch free and for once I agree with him.. The umpiring today was substandard.
-
It's just the inconsistency that infuriates me! Thomson (?) was hanging on Jack's arm like a cheap suit ALL DAY LONG, and getting away with it. But in the last quarter McGuane gets pinged for grabbing onto Petrie. WTF? Are we all playing to the same rule book?

Umpires wont pay frees to jack bc he over plays contact in every contest and sooks every single time, umps get sick of this and purposely dont pay em to teach players like this a lesson. Fact is theyre human and are arseholes too when they want to be

That umpires are human is debatable. That they're behind holes goes without saying. But either way, whether Jack whinges or not this excuse just isn't good enough. Geez Geez, these idiots"are suppsed to have a job to do impartially. Besides, you'd whinge too if your opponent had his filthy paws on you all day long while the green maggot stands 5 metres away waving "play on. Meanwhile, McGuane puts his arm round Petrie's waist once and is immediately pinged.

Yep RR, if there was consistency in the umpiring decisions then at least everyone you can understand what is and isn't a free. The problem is with different umps at each end of the ground then you can get days where there seems to be two sets of rules :P.

exhibit B: he's a Carlton supporter...

Even North supporters on their BF board are saying we got shafted by the umps ...
The umpiring today was pathetic. Worst i have seen in a while. Not to us. We probably got the better of it but that isn't the point. They lost control in the first half. It seemed players didn't really know what they were suppose to do.
For large parts they wouldn't blow the whistle and in others you had to wonder what the hell for. Some of the deliberate out of bounds for example.
3 umpires each with different ideas. It was terrible.
It's always better when they actually follow the rules. Then at least we know what to expect. Once you start letting things go it gets out of hand.

I didnt know the whole team can call for a video review, goal umpire was happy calling it a goal and was bullied into the review by the north players >:(
One other point...wouldnt it make more sense from the AFLs point of view keeping us in the finals rather than North and their half dozen supporters?
-
since when is making sense part of the AFLs mantra?
how was the way the north blokes tried to keep our blokes away as they crowded the ump like indian spin bowlers?

Not right there 2JD, goal umpire called for the replay, said he thought it was a goal but wanted to check
-
yeah i saw/heard that he wanted to check but it looked like he called for video because of all the nth players flapping in his face, he called it a goal
-
If Edwards kicked that same goal 9 mins into the first quarter there would be no hoo ha over it.

nah, the afl knows that us dumbarse supporters will always be there, 30 yrs of shitness and we're still a top drawing club so no worries if we stay near the bottom

It seems goal umpires lose their sight when umpiring Richmond games.
White's goal that was called a point for example.

:lol
The umpire Hardwick lost the plot and got fined over and he is a CARLTON supporter.
WELL WELL WELL. :shh :lol
I smell a RAT.
Gieschen knew this of course by playing him for the game which decided our fate.
RAT number 2.
I'm starting to wonder if our game is corrupt.
-
Umpires are like mothers - you cannot argue against them and they are always right. Umpiring has been poor all year but earlier the boys were ignoring it and playing footy. Cotch is a good example - hardly ever moans despite getting scragged and tagged etc. lately some of the boys are getting more frustrated with the umpiring and it is venting in games. They just need to focus on what they can control.
-
Jennings is a complete imbecile
-
Being at the Punt Road End, I missed the circumstances surrounding the 50 metre penalty and goal against Lids. I was watching a bit of the replay and saw how the umpire ignored him being tackled around the neck, and instead paid some tiggy touchwood nonsense to North which made
-
Brett go off. As the umpire marched the North player into the goalsquare I turned off the TV, deciding I'd seen enough. You just can't argue with these precious little agony aunts, and their pathetic little nerd egos make them want to impose themselves on the game in the only way they know how. And Smasha, you're only beginning to suspect our game is corrupt? The AFL has an agenda, and we don't seem to be a part of their plans. Yet bizarrely, despite their chronic inability to ever turn a profit, North Melbourne continue to receive their charity. I don't understand it, but if you want further proof just have a look at their draw.

Gieschen admitted Cotch's deliberate out of bounds call was harsh as Trent was trying to keep the ball in play.
He also admitted Lids should have got a free before he lost it with the ump. who didn't pay it and then gave 50m against Lids for abusive language.

Jennings and Bannister umpiring on Saturday night.

the whole system is corrupt
starting from the fixture right down
through to the umpires. :banghead

One thing I will say for the Geisch is he does call it when he sees bad decisions by umps. I do hope the two umps get dropped for a week for those decisions.

Sack Hardwick and UNLEASH THE GEICSH FOR 2013!!

I don't think the umpiring system is biased, individual umps might be a bit swayed one way or the other, but it's not systematic. The tribunal on the other hand is deliberate, after considered thought in the cold light of day with numerous replays it utterly fails to be consistent or avoid obvious bias.

Only when it's so blatantly wrong that he has more to lose by not admitting it.

Doesn't hurt that stunted troll at all to admit his little sycophant goon squad shafted us after the fact, its a like a big fat 'yeah you got screwed and can't do stuff all bout it' and he is loving it.

we have an AFLNT ump train with us. one night i slagged off at jabba the geish.... he wasnt real impressed and tried to shift blame for incompetence to the AFL :lol

Exactly dooks, totally disagree with that comment tidyman, Its easy for him to come out after the game has been decided and say it was wrong, then won by 4 points, that free kick cost us 6 points. What exactly dont you ppl understand. When a game like that is on the line for making finals how can the umpiring be so one sided and poor :banghead

No mention of the Tuck ruck free?
Should have been play on because it was a shocking bounce.

This game had me more angry than even last weeks, bad enough when your own players dont put in, but when you're trying to get back in the game and stupid/wrong decisions shove you out again, things that are beyond your control and bordering on game fixing, well its just BS! :banghead >:(

That will be the end of me if Bannister and Jennings line up to "umpire" this week.
