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 .

And the League wonders why supporters believe umpiring standards have fallen at AFL level . It also causes frustration onfield which starts melees.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Umpire 32. Malaka Mollison was scarcely any better. Jack is still being held apparently.

[Phil Mrakov]

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.

Harden up?LMAOOO.
The umpires raped us today.

[TigerLand]

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.

[Hellenic Tiger]

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 .
