State of Umpiring [merged]

[Damo]

Umps have been letting the opposition blatantly hold our players off the ball for the last few seasons, every side, including us, gets away with it at least once or twice a game but it seems to happen at least half a dozen times a game against us.

Then there was the seemingly differing appolication of the deliberate oob rule.

The deliberate rulings were shocking
There was a couple that I was stunned at , especially the accidental one that Young kicked out

Was surprised they didn't ping Bolton late in the 4th after the precedent they had set.

Umpire bashing   

Seriously though, IIRC Young tapped it over while on the ground. Umps ping that if you've lost your feet. Tylar needed to be more subtle about it. Needs a lesson from Grimesy who is an expect at getting the ball over the boundary line while pretending not to be.

Why can’t we get those easy frees?

Nank marks the ball, the umpire calls outside 5 meters and then the swans player runs back to the mark?

@AFL please explain why it’s not a 50 meters? Oh yeah it’s richmond

The team the stand rule was brought in to stop concedes the most 50's under said rule but hardly gets any themselves....nothing to see here...

An investigation into the state of umpiring and constant new rules to ensure fairness and consistency for all with no bias should be the 1st thing on the agenda when the malingering politicians Macwoke and colwoke are disgarded and the new bosses start

[MintOnLamb]

Gee Brisbane got fingered badly by umps, throws must be allowed by Melbourne, they had so many of them

[mightytiges]

Dumping tackle?

If it was a Richmond player, it would be a free against us.

Shocker

Nothing in it

[camboon]

It would have been reported if it was a Richmond player tackling like that

This was paid a free for a dangerous tackle in the Carlton-Port game.

ps. It'll also likely go before the MRO as well as Byrne-Jones was subbed off later (at half-time) with concussion.

Under the current rules Razor made the right call however stupid the rule is these days. He's one of the u,ps that pays it and is more importantly consistent in paying it

Carlton bloke will get at least 1-2 weeks

I agree, WP. Just pointing out the umpiring inconsistency (and Collingwood charity) when compared with Maynard's dumping tackle on Walters that wasn't paid a free.

ps. Given Byrne-Jones went off concussed shortly afterwards at half-time in the Blues-vs-Port game, Boyd could be facing 3 weeks if the MRO are consistent (ed: trying not to laugh while typing that!). It could end up another unfair harsh verdict for what was a football act that only a year ago wouldn't have even been looked at .

I really do w9nder if more umps paid "dangerous tackle" if we'd seeing less of these types of tackles?
