State of Umpiring [merged]

[mightytiges]

They free kick to weideman that started their run was outrageous.

Also can anyone explain why they called play on to balta when he took that mark 55-60m out? He could have legitimately kicked that so they should have given him the full 30. Didn’t see him step off his line either.

Robbie Gray was given the full 30 secs last night despite being 60 out with a heavy wet ball and he can't kick that far anyway. As usual the umpiring is consistently inconsistent.

[mightytiges]

I don't know what it looked like on the TV but the first half today was some of the most biased crappiest umpiring I've ever seen  . Once again it was mostly the missed frees that we should have got. Collingwood players repeatedly getting away with one hand "handballs" and dropping the ball in the tackle while we got pinged. Apparently Richmond players don't have backs which can be pushed either. As for that laughable "free" against Dusty that cost us a goal .

[Andyy]

Plenty wrong today going both ways but I felt Pies got the rub of the green.

So many throws and a few holds ignored.

[WilliamPowell]

Stand!

Free kick against Dusty touching in the side was a disgrace.

Did their best to give the Hawks a shot

[mightytiges]

In the first half the umps were wearing brown and gold. Razor Ray especially had to be the centre of attention. Once again it was the frees we didn't get that were the issue - high tackles & spoils especially. Lynch copped 50 for "dissent" because he couldn't believe he didn't get a free for being whacked across the head. The frees were even in the second half so it wasn't as bad although the umpiring standard was still poor. They missed 3 blatant HTBs in the 3rd qtr.

[WilliamPowell]

Another stellar performance

[Knighter]

Another cheatfest today. Disgusting incompetence

[The Machine]

Ray is just terrible as is no. 6

[Andyy]

If you listen to the other supporters apparently it should be even worse because we play a dirty, scragging style of footy haha

[camboon]

It’s cheating, it’s got to organised cheating as it’s bias by the majority. Is it a directive from the social engineering AFL
