State of Umpiring [merged]

[mightytiges]

Perfect time now to make a formal complaint after a win so they can't accuse us of sooking after a loss.

As Fluffy Tiger says, it's the ones they don't pay to us that are the main issue. We get pinged for things the opposition don't. For all our tackling and pressure tonight I can only remember two HTBs paid to us (RCD's in the 1st qtr and then one late in the last qtr deep in our backline)

Absolute dog crap tonight.

Someone got upset with me for calling that lady a cheating *female dog* but I stand by my comment.

Disgusted. The push to Lynch. A handful of HTB ignored. Club should be demanding an independent review.

[The Machine]

So inconsistent. Holding the ball is a raffle but not for the oppo

[cub]

Win I can complain
that was disgusting
I do not  care about this diversity poo -  Leave the boys sports to the boys that 34 was .....ill leave it there

Bevo said last week the adjudication of whether a kick has travelled 10 or 15m depended on the night. Strange call to deny Jeremy Cameron. It was far from a 50-50. Nobody would’ve cried foul if the mark was paid. Geelong’s Zac Bailey moment. Jezza to be the hero against Richmond?

Probably justification for the Brisbane game they stole

[MintOnLamb]

Head high infringements were by the wayside imo

[Diocletian]

Couldn't buy a htb...counted at least half a dozen clear ones  we weren't awarded and probably another half-dozen again if the same standards were applied to the Scraggers as they were to us...

...and as for that useless diversity hire .."it was the timing" lmao....stuffing Kakistocracy...

The failure to ping West for holding the ball was a very poor decision. Blatant free kick.

[Knighter]

We got a few our way also. Particularly the female ump who let a lot go in the last qtr which is good to see.

Apart from the Easton Wood one I thought it was not too bad. Pass mark for the 2nd time this year only. Inc VFL.

The first pass was when Kingsley and Chocco umpired the VFL practise game.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Dogs should have had a free at the top of the square when Grimes pretended he was Angus Graham trying to pick up a bar of soap

[wayne]

Eleni pays some very random free kicks (Bailey Dale unrealistic attempt comes to mind) but at least both sides cop it.

Spot on, that was terrible.....
there's a reason we are consistently bottom of the free kick ladder, the umps seriously just feel sorry for the team playing us!

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.
