Title: Alex Rance penalised for returning the ball to the umpire 'too hard'
Post by: 🏅Dooks on June 20, 2015, 06:54:48 AM
Now this is a joke. This sort of mentality is what's wrong with umpiring today.

Not only did he not pay the mark (which was clean mark) but he issued a 50m penalty against Rance for returning the ball too hard.  :huh

Precious. They think the are more important than the players and the game.

By the way, the offending umpire is number 25, Shaun Ryan.

In the old days they knew what to do with the Shane Ryan's of this world.  The stock's and a few dozen pounds of rotten tomato's would solve that problem.

Makes me angry watching this for the fist time after being at the game last night. Idiot not only makes a mistake not paying the mark but makes a second one awarding a free kick for that. How hard can you throw a ball when you are on the ground with someone on top of you. 
I'm not an umpire basher but last night I felt we got the ass end of it.

West coke supporters think they got the raw end, but while we did get a few cheapies the amount they got away with and goals directly from contentious frees was crook. The board at half time said they only had 6 free which was very hard to believe.

Rance needed to show 'respect' to umpire

THE AFL has defended umpire Shaun Ryan's decision to pay a free kick against Richmond defender Alex Rance for throwing the ball back in a "demonstrative" manner.

The incident occurred in the final quarter of the Tigers' loss to West Coast at the MCG last Friday night.

Rance was denied a mark with 16 minutes remaining in the match and was tackled to the ground by Eagle Josh Kennedy.

Angry at not being paid the mark, Rance threw the ball back with force to umpire Ryan who had called a ball up.

While Ryan caught the ball, he immediately penalised the Richmond star and awarded a free kick to the Eagles.

Head AFL umpires coach Hayden Kennedy told AFL.com.au the manner in which Rance threw the ball back to Ryan was akin to verbal abuse.

"We're more than happy that's a free kick," Kennedy said.

"Shaun Ryan the umpire on the day felt that this was a very demonstrative action from Alex. I know [the throw] doesn't look terribly hard from the slow motion vision, but we're certainly in a situation where we've got community in mind.

"We can't have players been demonstrative toward umpires whether it's through their body language or the way they throw balls back."

The free kick against Rance has drawn plenty of criticism.

Former Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson describing the incident as "too precious" but agreed that umpires should be respected.

"I do agree there is a level of respect that we have to continually show the umpires," he told AFL.com.au.

"I think Rance was just a little bit upset and threw it back with a little bit too much force potentially, but I don't think the free kick was there."

Rance has since apologised for his actions.

"It was disrespectful. I shouldn't have done it," he told reporters on Monday.

"In the heat of the moment I felt that it wasn't a big deal but I've got to look at the ramifications down the line. If I'm treating an umpire that way with disrespect, then what's it going to look like down the line for lower leagues?"

Will umpires now carry a Newton scale to determine the force of a ball that is returned to them?
