last quarter was a farce too, they had two sets of tackling without the ball rules.  it was 8-1 at one stage.  We didn't deserve a win though.  We look slow, fumbly and poo, second to the ball a lot and predictable.  Every game they know where we are gonna swing it for a handball and are waiting.  There is a lack of that click going on that we used to have.  Team has changed a lot except the glamor gang.

If that's the way they want the game umpired then they shouldn't be surprised crowds are down. We don't go to watch the umps wreck a game. #1 might as well have wore a Suns jumper.

Do you ever read a post properly? :shh

How was umpiring in the last quarter when it most mattered? :shh :shh

Well all i can say to Jack is get a kick, take a mark and kick straight. Until you start doing this- shut up!

I would've just liked him to kill the ball over the boundary line.... :banghead

Terrific, just terrificTM,

Jack,

Yes the umps were crap but your job is to kick goals and you missed the ones you should have kicked

Can i suggest you focus on that  >:(

But they did crucify us, umpiring this year has been at it’s all time worst in my time of watching it. I can honestly say I’ve only felt like the umpires have cost us games of football a handful of time over many years watching the tigers .... this year I can nominate 3 or 4 games that have cost us this year alone.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
