State of Umpiring [merged]

[Willy]

They got the rub but I don’t blame the umps.

The dogs fumbled less tonight.

[WilliamPowell]

The only free I really have an issue with is the Naughton one in the last. That wasn't a push or a block.

But you cannot kick 2 goals in a half and expect to win

The high knock against Vlastuin straight after?

[the claw]

Yep was livid with both but we should not of been in the position that they would matter if we better skills and decision making.
Those two things killed us.

[MintOnLamb]

The Baker htb was bs and Vlastuin for what I don’t know was bs.

Yes we shouldn’t have been in that position but those 2 goals cost us the game

[Andyy]

We got shafted on a couple of really bad ones at a bad time.

Wasn't terrible all game but it made it very hard to win at the time.

[Damo]

Nobody commenting on Baker tackling the dogs player by the ankle in the goal square
Certain missed one there

I didn’t think they were horrible against us

I thought the new rules were meant to stop the game turning into rugby  .

Lucky if there's one handball at all in that vision .

Vision of the paid free for high against Vlastuin in the last quarter.

Buckley and Dunstall commentating querying it. Buckley says "potentially an arm across the shoulder".

Got no issue with that free. Our seats are level 2 behind where that happened and it was high.

My issue is with the no push of Naughton and his incredible leap forward which lead to a free and the winning goal for them. That was a howler

Explain the dissent rule in a photo (also, this wasn’t paid dissent)

And they wonder why people hate these new rules and how arbitrarily they are applied from game to game and week to week.

5 players dissenting x 50m = 250m penalty....but not for Collingwood!

[camboon]

If they want to keep this rule it would be helpful if they had clear guidelines on how dissent is interpreted , everyone including the umpires appear to be  currently confused

It’s not hard for the umpires really.

New rules apply to Richmond FC only. The test case is always our first game and without fail we get the brunt of the calls against us as we’ve seen over and over again.

Plus they can always test rules on us that aren’t even rules

a) - the Richmond “goal review” rule (EF final) -  when a goal can be overruled without corroborating evidence after the goal umpire has signalled a goal.

b) - the Richmond “common sense” rule - when an opposing player does something that warrants a 50 metre penalty that could result in a possible score that could result in a goal and a possible win to Richmond.
