State of Umpiring [merged]

[Chuck17]

There is seriously something going on with the umps, there has to be bias because of the Scott brother relationship surely

It should be investigated.

[WilliamPowell]

They're on fire tonight

[TigerLand]

As poor as I can remember.

Rules that don't apply to Geelong tonight:

HTB
High tackles on Richmond players  .
Throws.
Front on contact.

Disgraceful umpiring tonight! Playing against 25 

Frees:  8 - 19 

[Tiger Khosh]

Didn’t give us a fair crack. Absolute garbage. Worst umpired sport in the world and that’s saying something!

[Broadsword]

I can't work out if it's even worth posting about the game in here because it was so damn obvious all night.

Benny should be sending them a please explain.

Clueless and/or Corrupt.

[Buddysucks]

Tonight is the night Dimma needs to take a public swipe and cop a fine. Geelong got 2 out of every 3 free kicks awarded and there were a dozen obvious frees we should have been awarded that went unnoticed. I couldn’t count the number of high contact we copped and got nothing.

[MintOnLamb]

I feel exactly the same.

I keep thinking I have Richmond goggles on but truly tonight was disgusting

Hang you heads in shame umpires and AFL

It won't happen but with the game decided by under a kick there should be an official investigation into why the umps allowed 3 mins of play with Richmond down a man with Prestia on the field knocked out by sniper Stewart. Geelong got a goal out of the unfair advantage that proved decisive in the final result.

26-13.... AND.....

Us getting called play on regularly from a mark or free, and I counted at least 5 times a Cats player was in our protected area and no 50.

Noticed Geelong players were repeatedly trailing their Richmond opponent by 10-15m while running through the protective area of the mark. Deliberate tactic? Should be 50 anyway being that far off your direct opponent in the protective area.
