VFL R10: Richmond vs Williamstown @ Burbank Oval, Sun. June 10 [Live on Ch 7]

If that is the next generation of umpires then the game is rooted

No wonder AFL umpires are putrid if this is where they are coming from.

I know people are whacking the female ump but ump number 22 was worse.

Spent the entire afternoon guessing, don't remember once when he was in a decent position to make a decision.  But his sprints in to ball up were truly magnificent

[WilliamPowell]

Really embarrassing effort by so many

[mightytiges]

Rioli is doing some extra running and sprints after the game. So he's okay. Clearly, upping the workload for his first senior game next week.

It was pretty garbage all round, I think the female ump was just more noticeable so she gets singled out but it was evenly poo. I think we got ripped off with holding the ball a lot. So many tackles we laid would have at least been rewarded in AFL.

Whether it’s seniors or magoos we can’t buy a clearance. 8 points down we needed to win that one in the centre, instead space opens up and the opposition clear it.

i could be wrong but wasnt it a few years ago when we were right up with clearances?

[mightytiges]

We were as bad as the umps.

You don't deserve win when you get smashed in contested footy and clearances (esp. centre clearances). Really missed Soldo big time today.

Most of our VFL listed players had shockers while disappointingly many of our AFL-listed didn't fire a shot despite knowing senior spots were on the line after our loss to Port.

Rioli and Towner would be the only ones deserving of a senior spot.

[Knighter]

Best was C Ellis and Towner had a decent crack. Rest were average inc Rioli

Rings a bell, and being up there with scoring from clearances too. Wasn't it we kicked it to the pocket so if it went out we were a good chance of scoring from the stoppage? Foley and Tuck were pretty rough around the edges but they were good at winning that ball. Without Prestia too much falls on to Cotch and Dusty. This is probably where Graham needs to lift. He can be great at applying pressure but playing at the coal face he's going to have to start winning some ball.

you make me laugh WP. 

Let’s not pot an female umpire because she’s a girl?
 Everyone watching where I was were laughing at her decisions as she was terrible, blind Freddie could see it and even my blues mate was shaking his head. Can’t deny it because We could hear her voice through the tv speakers.

I’m guessing it’s because she’s used to umpiring the chicks games and she’s instructed to pay marks that aren’t marks or pay agreesive tackles as sling tackles. 

What I will say in her defence was that she was clearly the best centre bouncer on the field. Unfortunately she couldn’t make correct decisions on most occasions.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

The sling tackle was plainly the worst decision. It was just so wrong it's not even funny.

How can you even be allowed to umpire when you do not even know the rules?

I’m guessing that’s a sling tackle in chicks footy like some of the marks she paid that weren’t marks.

Good game of footy. Pretty young team of ours out there today. 
I'm worried were getting tired at both levels. 
Bye can't come quick enough

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I actually liked Bolton's game today. Tackled and was mercurial.
Balta and CCJ are raw but they will be special.
