State of Umpiring [merged]

[The Machine]

Was it my imagination but i thought we were bent over on thursday night by the umps as well.

Agree...and its seems like we are every week

The umpiring is always completely biased Perth. The crowd gets to the umps over there.

True but believe me this was next level poot! And thats coming from a neutral supporter.

I reckon nab cup we overall had the rub of decisions. Carlton wasnt too bad. Thursday night though made up for it. Just shocking.

Yep, sounded pretty bad.

Numbers dont tell the whole story but Carlton 25 Tigers 12 in round 1 was not acceptable at all

Yeah but 3x the free kicks in a game with an even amount of contested ball doesn't make sense to me

Did anyone see the west coast/saints match? Massive home team support for that game.

I wonder if they'll get a talking too and we see some overcompensating this Saturday.

Anyone watch the Eagles vs StKilda game?

Saints were absolutely sodomised by the umps. 23-8 and worst umpiring i have seen in probably seen in 5-10 years. Im suprised theres not talk about it in the media

Edit - just found this right on cue

Sorry mate. Just read this.

Saints got rogered with a sandy stick but so did we.  Difference is we won.  Surely they look at these games and ask wtf is going on.

[big tone]

The holding the ball decisions on Thursday night were disgraceful. I'm happy when our guys take the game on and I know that means we will get a few against us at stages but Collingwood just seemed to get away with it.
It was like there was 2 different rules. I'm not an umpire hater but it was noticeable to me the other night.
Umpiring in Round 1 was ok imo.

[Lozza]

Have to say that tinkering with rules during the season is a deadset farce. The prior opportunity interpretation has changed 360° in 3 weeks, confusing both players and supporters alike, very frustrating.

[mightytiges]

It was a repeat of last week. We got right royally shafted in the first half before the umps started evening up the free count. We still finished 21-27 down but that was better than 5-14 at half-time. 

[WilliamPowell]

Farcical

Simply farcical

Terrific, just terrific TM

[Ruanaidh]

Bewildering, and threatened to make the game unwatchable.

We got some cheap square ups in the second half to make it look better but that first half was pathetic. I thought my old man was going to get up and walk out.
