State of Umpiring [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

What’s even funnier is the commentators were debating why It wasn’t holding the ball

It was definitely a trip IMO

But one way or another it had to be a free, either a trip or holding the ball.

It simply cannot be "flap, di flap" play on 

[Francois Jackson]

Is any tech heads able to post the trip here please?

 Clearly a trip but in typical Carlton fashion looking forward excludes as to why they lost.

I’d love to send it off to those years Carlton supporters this morning who are rambling on about it.

[Andyy]

Had some crap ones go the other way for us too.

Nank's rushed behind should have been a free to them.


Anyways...1 round in and we're already -10 for frees despite winning KPI's like tackles. Looks like another year of the same old...

[Owl]

Yeah I felt like a shower after the stupid standing on the mark fifties. But then I remember Vlas getting ironed out dangerously and the prick calling play on etc. and so forth.

I thought Broad was stiff to give a free kick away mid last quarter for high contact on a spoil. Live it looked like all ball and just normal incidental body contact but they didn’t show a replay.
Frees were 7-19 at half time.

That was pure cheating.

Here you go, Frankie.



It wasn't as though the umps were blindsided either. The trip happened right in front of ump #26  .

[The Machine]

It was simply shocking last night. Ump 32 was horrendous 

[pmac21]

Now that I'm watching 2'teams I care nothing about the stand rule is absolute garbage and has to go.

Watching on TV, it looked like both sides were just flooding numbers back to counter the standing rule and so the ball was bouncing between the arcs. 17 goals combined is hardly high scoring. Even last year with shorter games and without the rule we saw scores of 69-53.

[Diocletian]

A petty rule, a truly SHocking rule..

Might be a bit biased but I also seem to notice that when there is a contentious decision our way they replay from about 50 different camera angles and then in super slowmo. When it goes the other way, maybe one replay if we're lucky, might just be coincidence but it's happened a few times.

[the claw]

Bloody nuff nuffs declaring the new rule a success what a joke. If kicking more goals was the aim then in two games so far its been an utter failure.

[pmac21]

That's probably the worst non call by an umpire for Geelong there.  What a howler. 
I'm sure we're all death riding cats losses so I'm quite upset. 
Umpires in general weren't very good at all. 
Chris Scott angry at every umpires call where he throws the phone is priceless

Yep. Another game of poor umpiring. It's been a whole day for it  .

How about this Selwood rugby pass too right in front of the ump:
