Sellar spun more than 360 degrees in a tackle and no free either!!

Then chucked it. Bloke doesn't know how to handball. He's a bigger rabble than Rabblebourne themselves.

 :lol
OH yeah the misses walked away at that stage I was raging so hard surprised the cops didn't turn up with pepper spray...find a happy stuffing place...

Watched the replay.

The third quarter was utterly shocking from an umpiring perspective. There was a period of a few minutes where Jackson was hit high three times in quick succession, none paid. Then Gysberts gets a soft high free kick. Shocking standard of umpiring. Geishen needs to take a leaf out of alcoholics anonymous - first step to resolving a problem is to admit you have a problem.

Demetriou admitted on Footy Classified last night that the AFL doesn't have enough experienced and quality umpires to spread around the 9 matches each week. He also mentioned that Gieschen didn't have his best moments when interviewed on On the Couch a couple weeks back trying to explain the rules and interpretations. Andy D said AFL football operations manager Mark Evans may be looking at how the Umpires dept. in structured and rejigging it. Hopefully a sign Giesch might be getting the flick as umpires coach  :pray.

On 3aw tonight, a Tiger supporter rang in about the disgraceful umpiring in Richmond games this year and does a Richmond player need to be killed before things change. However, Caro cut him off saying she doesn't like umpire bashing and that Richmond got the run of the green in the St Kilda game so we can't complain about the umpiring. Gerard Healy then chipped in and said yeah I don't think we'll go with that conspiracy theory.

Ah yes the kid in the schoolyard who was too geeky skinny weak and unpopular who would get bashed tackled and smashed into the ground be forced to sit at the front of the pack with a high ball coming in to have the speccy taken over him and who was picked last at lunchtime in schoolyard footy.

Now he is charge being an ump and retribution is dealt swiftly and harshly turning this schoolyard nerd into an AFL nerd. Still sucking up to the popular kids from Geelong and Essendon and Sydney and Collingwood looking for a free invite to a party some sweet Saturday night when mum and dad away on holiday for the weekend.
