Fisher the new Stevic/Deboy.

Fisher is a complete dud. Ex Players were invited to umpire as they are meant to have a better feel for the game!

Unfortunately Fisher is so stuffen stupid he couldn’t feel his own nut sack with both hands

The RFC should officially submit a complaint

DAMIEN Hardwick said he had no problem with the abundance of 50m penalties paid on Thursday night with the umpires red-hot on players encroaching on the protected area. But he now wants to see them paid all weekend.

Hardwick said Richmond conceded seven goals from free kicks as the umpires paid 42 free kicks in as the Tigers overpowered Carlton by 26 points.

“We went through it. As long as it’s consistent, I’m happy,” Hardwick said.

“As long as it’s consistently paid for the remainder of the weekend, I’m happy.

“It was a rule, we understand that, and we’ve got some work to do on that part of the game.

“I thought the Josh Caddy one was probably stiff, I thought he was heading out, but if the rules are in play I’m very happy provided they’re consistent.

“That’s my bad. I thought we gave away too many cheap free kicks, we gave away seven goals from free kicks.”

The Blues booted four goals from 50m penalties with Charlie Curnow capitalising on two on his way to career-best bag of five goals.

I watched the replay, our players were beside the Carlton player who got the free kick, they weren't given reasonable time to vacate the area. Leigh Fisher is a cheat.
Send him back to umpire country football
Have a look but they didn't call them against Carlton

Tiger 50-metre penalties were wrong: AFL (afl site)

Tiger 50-metre penalties were wrong: AFL

THE AFL has admitted the umpires erred in awarding two of the five 50-metre penalties given to Carlton against Richmond for encroaching into the protected area, with another being assessed as a marginal call.

Clubs were told over the pre-season the rule regarding the area around a player who has taken a mark or given a free kick would be enforced more strictly this season.

On Friday, they were informed that incorrect decisions had been made in the season opener.

The protected area is five metres behind the player with the ball, and 10 metres either side of the player.

The first mistake was against Shai Bolton just over a minute into the match, when Zac Fisher had the football 60 metres out from goal. The AFL said there was no evidence of Fisher's protected area being infringed upon.

Josh Caddy was also wrongly penalised when Charlie Curnow had the football about 55m out from goal in the third quarter.

The marginal call happened earlier in the third term when Jacob Weitering had possession on the wing, against Kamdyn McIntosh. Weitering played on as he swung on to his right boot, which shortened the distance between the two.

In the umpire's opinion, McIntosh was "close to five metres away running through the protected area without deviating from his original line".

All umpires will be briefed on these decisions ahead of the rest of round one.

It's not often the highest goalkicker is the umpire- maybe they've set themselves to win the Coleman
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
