State of Umpiring [merged]

Nah it's just a coincidence that nearly every side is miraculously somehow 50% more disciplined  & much closer to playing perfect football than usual whenever they play us.....

Aaaah thanks for the insightful synopsis, I knew it must just be me.

Even Tony Shaw can see it....

Should this goal have been overturned?

SCORE REVIEW SCRUTINY

Richmond defender Jayden Short insisted he touched Jackson Mead’s goal to start the final term, which was the beginning of the end of the Tigers’ chances.

Back-to-back brilliant Liam Baker goals in the final minute of the third term - the second from beyond 50 metres after the siren - slashed Port Adelaide’s lead to seven points.

But Mead’s goal was the first of four in eight minutes that blew the Power’s advantage out to 31 points and ended Richmond’s winning hopes.

There was no score review on this occasion despite the umpires using an abundance of caution to double-check straightforward goals to Darcy Byrne-Jones and Zak Butters earlier in the contest.

The trend this season is to go that way, but Short’s pleas went unanswered. We can only assume it was ticked off silently in the ARC as the Sherrin returned to the centre.

i cannot believe that. Those other 2 were as straightforward as you can get. even at the ground i was thinking why did they bother with that.

let me guess benny and co wont say a word. WTF is the prez doing?

This is stuffin nuts at the moment what is happening.

Benny won't do anything to jeopardise his sweet Tassie gig....


The worst for me was when Filth Adelaide scored two goals in a row in the third after clear infringements on Campbell at our attacking end werent called....held off the ball then a blatant push in the back...the latter would've been a shot on goal from about 35 right in front....

Look, it's the hardest game in the world to umpire...

[Tiger Khosh]

Ridiculous. It’s such a massive outlier over every other club. Those I’ll disciplined or game style excuses just don’t cut it.

Even though it won’t accomplish Jack, in fact it would probably work further against us, I would love anyone (president, ceo, coach, players) to just absolutely rip into the umpires just for the sweet satisfaction of it. I’ll even chip in $50 for the fine lol

[Francois Jackson]

I think each one of on here should be emailing the prez and Benny.

Will it achieve anything? No.

Though Something is better than nothing. I will do it today.

If I didn't have the kids with me the other day I would have walked out due to them. They are really putting me off watching full games. Absolute cheats they are .

i see that imbecile from the afl laura kane reached out out he hawks to apologise on behalf of her fools and the mistakes made over the weekend.

If it was the hawks that lodged a please explain kudos to them, but i suspect it was that idiot getting in first.

I beg to differ if you see the HTB calls Dusty gets pinged for.

Tall poppy syndrome.

All they have to do is grab him without prior or knock the ball out and it's HTB.

Well they clearly do as presented by the ginnivan case
