The AFL will ensure we never get umpired by her again, we won the free kick count, damning evidence against her.

I thought the female ump was the best out of the lot LOL she is right onto things straight away and pays poo the other sly pricks let slide for the other side.  She even paid our tackles, so refreshing.

Totally agree Owl. Applys the rules and doesn’t second guess player intent which is where Razor drives me nuts.
I agree. I thought she was the best of them Friday night. Number 3 on the other hand was woeful.

Number 3 was Leigh Fisher, former AFL player. It would appear the following applies: Average player, average ump

Tigers lose fair enough, Geelong much better but seriously 21 free kicks to 10 and another week with a similar differential. 
When does the club do something about this?

You guys all realise that the way we play the game means that a negative differential in the free kick count is expected

Getting bored with all the umpire this, umpire that sooking

We play a tough high pressure game that will more often that not result in us copping it .. that game style resulted in 3 premierships and 3 years of copping it hard from the umpires .. live with it

We aren’t victims

A tough high pressure game style usually comes with a fair amount of both punishment and reward from the umpires....yet we almost invariably seem to cop a lot of the former and very little of the latter... :shh

Hey Damo I have umpired for over 30 years so I have a fair understanding of the umpiring side of the game and I understand the angst of posters when there seems to be two different interpretations for each team.

It is not the frees paid against us it is the frees that are not paid to us in identical situations that get posters frustrated.

Ask yourself this why does the umpiring towards us change during the finals?
