There's too many rules that are open to interpretation and afford  the umpires too much discretion.... :shh

This is true, there are too many grey areas in the rules.  It does make the game hard to umpire as a result.  But there is nothing more frustrating than when an umpire can't see a defender being blatantly bear-hugged on the goal line, unable to even put a hand out to save a goal.  If the umpires just paid the obvious frees I'd be far more sympathetic towards them.  More basics from the umpires & less 'Look at Me' officiating would be a good start.

i cant stand the priks more than anyone but what i saw last night is exactly what we have done to teams, especially the blocking that was going on to Lynch and Balta by Tarrant and Thompson.

The umpiring wasnt nearly as bad as previous weeks.

Some umpires are just shytehouse but most of the poor standard is due to the rules , the constant changing of the rules & directives from the AFL which just puts too much on the umpire's plates which in turn affects their abilty to get even the basic decisons right...and I have no doubt they're at least nformaly instructed to crack down on certain teams and even certain players, and protect others... :shh

I would love one of the players to say to Ray,  “just umpire the game mate. You don’t need to commentate, you just need to blow your whistle, make the sign of what the free kick is for, point your finger, and then STFU. The people are not here to watch you”

I cannot stand when they tell players to separate if there is a bit of niggle. Players can niggle each other as long as they don’t give away free kicks.

Just pay the obvious free kicks when they are there and shut up.

Yep.

It's outrageous to me how this guy can basically mouth off to players and if anyone looks sideways at him there's a 50m penalty dished out.

This bloke isn't the principal of the school. He's meant to officiate a game of football

Pox umpiring and that clown needs to stop showboating, only problem with him being hit in his lolly bag by the ball was that it didn't rupture one of his testes so he had to stuff off and let the emergency umpire on.

Dunno why north don’t kick the ball to Ben brown at every single opportunity. Guy would get a free kick if a feather landed on his head, just needs to flail his 3m long arms in the air.

And the rule pulled out of nowhere today is "studs up"  ::). Not once but twice against an experienced Tiger who has played for a decade at the highest level and has never been pinged for it before  :huh.

Add Soldo's mark not paid in the second quarter in there too.

The Club should send a please explain to the umpiring dept. after today.
