State of Umpiring [merged]

[lamington]

I did chuckle a bit when Dustin Martin had a blatant throw 

But in the Nth Melb game the umpiring was crap. Don't think it would've saved the game for us but things like Deledio 'conceding' a free kick when he was just retaliating to a behind the play hit. RFC players getting pinged holding the ball when there is no prior opportunity.

The fact that JR got punched in the face and there was no MRP review of the incident pretty much says it all.

[Judge Roughneck]

deledio was in effect held, thrown to the ground, and had a free kick awarded against him 

[Yeahright]

Have been ok with the way the umpiring has been this year.
Have liked the way the game has been allowed to flow.
The umpiring is the least of our problems.

So I'll ask you then , how can there be 51 free kicks paid in Sunday night's game and then only 18 paid in a game the following day ?  We are playing the same game. AFL football.

They follow the rules more duh

Thompson got a reprimand so it did get looked at

Yeah.

No 50 metres

Wtf

[Chuck17]

Honestly between the rolling rugby scrum maul and the umpires inconsistency, the whole spectacle of AFL is holding less and less appeal

[bojangles17]

Was a non stop stuffen joke the other night, staging by Harvey and then Thompson that was rewarded. Holding decisions 50m off the ball. Holding the ball whilst being pinned to the ground , FMD was like we had one hand tied behind our back all night

[bojangles17]

No, the umpires were, I had to peel myself off the ceiling after a few of those decisions , disgraceful

What's out of bounds?

[The Big Richo]

Watch Hardwick make this an issue to deflect the focus from where it should be.

[Phil Mrakov]

Pretty happy we didn't win. Too late fir meaningless wins and it's all about 2015 now

Think l have just seen the worst umpiring in VFL / AFL history.
If the Richmond Football Club don't put in a Official complaint against the umpiring in that game then they got no balls to except that type of rubbish. That clearly cost us the game
