We got tackled over the boundary 3 times after they gave a free against us for the same thing, I just want consistency, but understand you will never get it.

The controlling umpire was heard shouting at the Giants player on the mark: “Back two metres. Brent! Brent, back two metres. Brent, back two metres.”

The problem was Brent wasn’t standing the mark for the Giants. It was Xavier O’Halloran, who didn’t move back.

The umpire then blew his whistle and paid a 50m penalty against the Giants for not manning the mark properly, which advanced Webster into the forward half of the ground.

------------------

Imagine copping a 50 because the ump kept calling out the wrong name to the player on the mark :doh.

A game where you scratch your head about what the rules are with Leigh "I hate Richmond" Fisher at his infamous 'best' today  ::).

Dusty bending over to pick up the ball and cops head on high contact = no free.
Lycett continually playing Nank from behind with his arm over Nank's shoulder = no free (Lycett actually got two frees the other way :huh3).
Byrne-Jones driving head first into Taranto = free kick for too high.
JHF going head first taking out a Tiger's legs = free kick for too high.

There were also a heap of ticky-touchwood frees from incidental contact that Port got today. All we ask for is consistency and the rules applied the same for both sides.

How many times did they manage to find a Port free at the first centre bounce just after we kicked a goal?

Two worst non-decisions though (both in the last) Mansell(?) blatantly held without the ball on the wing & SPP allowed to just walk the ball over the boundary under no real pressure.

Fisher is the worst umpire i have ever seen. Some of the decisions today were pathetic.

Yep and former player to which actually makes it worse

I try  ot bag umpires as it is a bloody tough gig but today they were shocking.

The over the shoulder to JHF was an absolute disgrace

The JHF kick was there. Balta got him high, not heaps of contact but it was high

There were some very bad calls in the 4th however

The Byrne-Jones wasn't paid by the umpire who had the best view, it was another umpire who had to guess. 4 umpires and one from 80m away can overrule one 5m away??

There were 2 JHF free kicks. The garbage one where he dove head first at the ball and took out our players legs and got a high free kick and the one in fwd50 where Balta legitimately got him high.

Could name all the stinkers

JHF down field
Balta throw from one hand tap
JHF high was not high
The failure to call for a review when we touched it to have it rightly recalled yet they went for a review for 2 of our goals that Port touched.
The no holding the ball against Port in D50 yet Miller pinged (rightly so but missed 3 against Port within a minute prior)
Blatant deliberate out of bounds at the end was comical.
2 free kicks against Taranto in the last were comical.

Fisher and 31 belong in local leagues.

- Jack Riewoldt thinks some players are starting to play for dangerous tackle free kicks.
