State of Umpiring [merged]

[Chuck17]

Stuff me they’re getting into us early

[🏅Dooks]

worst umpiring ive seen in 5 or so years.

havent paid us one htb

[mightytiges]

You wouldn't want a final or Grand Final umpired like that. The umps were hot on us and whistle happy today  . Surely, when both players are running back with the flight with their eye on the ball in the air you tell the players where the mark is on the ground.

One of the 3 was DeBoy

Enough said

[dwaino]

It was putrid. We couldn’t buy a htb when they could just throw/drop it and spin around in tackles then lose it. Meanwhile we were getting done with no prior or in Short’s case getting coathangered high from behind.

No warning for us when over the mark, just instant 50s while Cox took two steps over one time to grab Rance when we was trying to kick.

Don’t get me started on the goal reviews. How was there enough evidence in any of them to overturn the goal decision?

Pies fans are whinging about the umpires 

[Lebowski]

Clearly something was up today - I dont believe in having a crack at umps too often - but surely our cub are asking for a please explain - we are consistently on the receiving end of some very inconsistent interpretation. Those 50's were ridiculous as were the HTB's

WTF IS UP WITH THESE POLE SMOKING MAGGOTS!!!!

[pmac21]

The non decision against Pendlebury for holding the ball just before half time left me seething and frothing from the mouth!!  Led to Pies goal which put them in front. 
We are definitely still on the receiving end of poor umpiring

In all seriousness, I was pulling my hair out, And look who is right beneath colonwood on the big free kick differential ladder, Adelaide, big stuffing surprise there.

That one with Pendlebury had me fuming too. The bloke tried to pirouette in a tackle and just dropped the bloody thing. HTB every day. Even worse was the goal on top. And everyone else has the gall to say we get a ride.

[Owl]

They were dropping the ball out of tackles all day, the other one they got away with was holding the man without the ball, drove me stuffing crazy, sometimes dragging them away from play...nothing to see here..stuffing umps right there

"But its just Richmonds gameplan, they tend to give away frees going hard in the clinches" - every non Richmond flog searching to justify the #freekickrichmond trend.

Meanehile Collingwood copy our gameplan and sit atop the FK differentials....
