Umps Hate Jake King
« on: June 01, 2012, 11:19:39 PM »
Is it just me, or is Jake King the player most hated by umpires?  Not paid a mark in the 2nd quarter, tripped in the 3rd, pinged for a perfect spoil in a marking comp and the had his head ripped in the last. Lucky he can control his anger! >:(

Does tend to cop a rough deal at times. Other times they look after him. Every other key forward in the comp would love to get the treatment Nick Riewoldt gets.

Had the same conversation with my missus during the game.  The look on his face when they paid the free for that perfect spoil said it all.

Seriously, something needs to be done about this. It has gone past being a joke, they have a duty-of-care to protect players from illegal, head-high tackles. I say sue-em Jake!

Reckon if he'd been still playing in the Diamond Valley there might have been a different response...

is clearly hated by the umpires. Some terrible decisions made against him.
l thought he was going to explode at one stage & was so angry & pointing at the umps.

Is Robbie Muir his father  ;D

Disgraceful umpiring and for whatever reason they appeared to target kingy for all their worst decisons

They didnt show the replay on that mark they didnt pay but soon after that it cost us a goal at the other end of the ground.
