State of Umpiring [merged]

[cub]

Corrupt AFL have our tongues tied
The games a farce

[Gigantor]

For me tonight .. that alleged deliberate kick out of bounds by one of our players broke the camels back . It was a horrendous decision , could not believe it

[camboon]

None in the media see the consistent bias which just goes to show they are not independent either or they would research it and ask the questions

[MintOnLamb]

Goodness I've just seem the Dusty tackle on Close with 20 seconds to go

Why the "F" wasn't that HTB? He took possession, got tackled, let go of the ball, dragged it back in and they did nothing ....there's the game right there

I was expecting a 50 against Dusty

Got to love the two non frees before Juddy's goal.

- De Koning whacking Lynch across the chops.
- Jack's chase down tackle on Kolodjashnij who drops the ball.

Anyone see the 50 against Fyfe
Worst decision I’ve ever seen

Lynch was getting manhandled all game and wasn’t getting anything from the umps.

Minus 72 next best is 40 behind us what a joke.

It's the chaos game plan though

It's the chaos game plan though 

Yep, we have the lowest 'frees for' count because it's our gamestyle's fault the umps don't pay us blatant frees like this .

Perceptions of umpiring is highly subjective, so rather than trade feel-o-pions I thought I’d look at the data. Firstly Richmond has a season FK differential twice as bad as the second worse team (1/5)

Secondly this is not normal, no non Tiger team had a differential this bad since the turn of the century.

But, a-ha you say, the tigers play a low possession game so don’t get frees…. the only problem with that argument is disposals/free for stats don’t correlate and Richmond is still an outlier

Tackles show a slightly better correlation but Tigers are still an outlier

In conclusion, you can make up your own theories about why, but Richmond games have historically unprecedented umpiring trends.

Can’t argue with stats, umpires are at best unintentionally bias , at worst cheats.
If it was another side the media would ask questions and do some homework . It’s the inconsistency that kills me. Struggle to go to games as it is so frustrating when we know we would have won about 4 more games without the umpires influencing the games in the oppositions favour
