State of Umpiring [merged]

Daicos is a fluff. Cheap stats. Plays bruise free with her skirt on. 2/3rds of his stats are nothing stats.  Most overrated overhyped player in the league.

From the HeraldSun's Sam Landsberger:

Izak Rankine robbed. Reckon that was a clear goal. How can the same ARC change Tom Lynch’s goal to a behind in last year’s elimination final, but deem that insufficient evidence?

I don’t think that there was enough in the video they had to overturn the umpires call. Rankine kicked the ball at the same time as the magpies players hand was on it so we don’t know who it came off last. It also went past another Collingwood defenders leg so may have been touched there as well as question marks on whether it totally crossed the line. Staying with the umps call their right decision there imo.

Don’t get me started on the lynch goal

Don’t get me started on the lynch goal 

If I recall correctly it should have been an automated 50m penalty to Lynch before he even kicked it.
I forget who the man on the mark was , possibly Andrews, moved off his line, didn't stand!! Maybe I'm wrong but iirc that's how it was and wasn't even mentioned.
I have to go back and see it again

Hard to play when the oppo's allowed to hold you off the ball every single stuffing week....

[Diocletian]

Not that it made much difference but how many blatant htb calls did they miss tonight?

Not that it made much difference but how many blatant htb calls did they miss tonight?

And throws too fmd

From "Has the umpire made A Bad decision?" twitter feed:

Berry's throw:


I'd want this paid a throw

The question is whether he throws it or simply loses possession. The fact in ends perfectly In the hands of a team-mate suggests he had some control

Incorrect disposal, he ELECTS to dispose incorrectly.

It's a more 50/50 decision than many think #AFL

It's a throw & no other word can describe it.  I suppose I could hitch on the word 'blatant' to describe it too.
The most perplexing bit is that the umpire was 10mtrs away with a perfect view of it ...  flap flap ... play on!     

Now, this one was as obvious as possible, so what hope is there that the umpires are going to see the really quick & sneaky throws at the bottom of the pack? 
This was shockingly bad, but its the 100 other missed/non-decisions that really give one side a green light to do whatever they like.     

That's why we just want the rules to be the same for both sides ....

What's your call?

Ball up, HTB or too high?

Any chance that’s a free?

This was happening at every single contest. Was one FK paid? No.
Despite this, Sydney got a holding the man free when Cotchin was holding the fingertip of Parker in the opening seconds.
Absurd.

From the 👆

First one is HTB. Sitting there looking (sooking) for a free is prior, he ,ade no attempt to dispose fo the ball

Second one technically holding the man. But not surprised it wasn't paid

3rd one is holding the man, I thought that's one of the reasons they bought in a 4th ump, to pay these

[Diocletian]

Umps have been letting the opposition blatantly hold our players off the ball for the last few seasons, every side, including us, gets away with it at least once or twice a game but it seems to happen at least half a dozen times a game against us.

Then there was the seemingly differing appolication of the deliberate oob rule.
