State of Umpiring [merged]

[Damo]

MT knows I’m the opposite of an umpire basher
It actually gives me the poos

But tonight was as bad as I’ve seen

Horrendous

Ditto Damo

I rarely bag umpires it is bloody tough job

But tonight it was deplorable

The AFL should be embarrassed by that, they can't excuse it

Although, we all know we won't hear a peep from them about how bad it was

[Diocletian]

It's not the one's we give away it's the one's we don't get.....5 in 4 quarters of heavily contested football most of which was in the wet says it all..

Even Richo had a not so subtle dig on twitter.

Atrocious..

Won't waste time going through the stinkers. I also will say I'm shocked the goal line tech went out way, or should I say that the umpire decision went out way. That ball 100% hit the post and was gutless by ARC ump.

Insipid effort tonight. Makes the win better and shows how well we played to control and dominate the game with free turnover free kicks they got.

We must be a good side to beat not only Freo, but also the cheating Maggots

I read on Twitter the reason the "edge" technology wasnt used was because Broad had touched the post

Good God, if the technology can't be used because of that why have it?

Farcical

[MintOnLamb]

Amazing that they use low res technology on the replays instead of hdmi, pathetic for an organisation trying to take its game to the world stage

Haha we said this in the living room. I've only ever seen the Arc for when they've turned over a Richmond goal. Never to prove a goal against has got the post. Why nobody talked about the trajectory of the ball changed after hitting the post I'll never know. Also player reaction thanks Arc, you used it for Lynch. Broad grabbed ball straight away.

[Tiger Khosh]

I was absolutely fuming when I saw the decision was ‘umpires call’ thinking the onfield umpire had called it a goal. May be my Richmond glasses but I thought you could clearly see it indent the post padding on the way through.

Was that Bazil Zempless commentating tonight?

All of this

Man I was ropeable last night

[WilliamPowell]

Kane might have mentioned it in passing but that's it

Until someone in the media has the you know whats to actually make a big deal about it then nothing will happen

Someone needs to line up 5 decisions that were not given (I know there were plenty more) to us and 5 given against us and ask what the?

Bring back "what's you decision" on one of the talk shows..
