Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Anyone noticed that Essendon are now getting a good run with the umpires??
That reversal against Cripps was a joke.
Martin punches Cripps in the face and the dk just sees Martin fall down
 
Good to see Mick Molloy bring up our farcical free kick differential stats to Laura Kane on The Front Bar and asking her why the AFL hates Richmond. Didn’t get much of a response though other than making a joke out of it.

The AFL has to get better people in there.
It's a joke. No one wants to answer questions, they seem to laugh things off.
The only reason they are singing is because Collingwood Carlton and now Essendon are bringing huge numbers through the gates.
Our numbers have dropped off but it dosent show because of Carlton and Collingwoods improvement.

There’s merit to what RE suggests, although the expenditure of effort would possibly outweigh the benefits. The AFL would come up with some *smile* explanation or sweep it under the carpet to be never spoken of again. It’s at times like this we miss Ron and his stats wizardry.

We could teach an AI to recognise frees with machine learning and then it should be able to detect departures from a set calibration. That would be interesting!! Replace umps with AI!

The problem with that, sausages, is that you have to have training data to teach the AI. And the AFUL would get their training data by paying Fox for the video. And the video would include the *smile* biased outcomes we are complaining about. So the AI would learn to be biased. It could, as you say, result in the replacement of umpires. Which leads me to the questions... At whom would we shout "Ball", or "Go to Specsavers you green maggot", or "That's *smile* you bald headed flog"?

Yeah it was kick Richmond night.
Even Mal Michael stuck the boots in.
Then Pang thanked Kane on behalf of everyone who doesn't barrack for Richmond (for lack of free kicks).

Have heard the FB is Mick's show. He's in charge.
Certainly gets a lot of Richmond bashing on it.

Start punting people Mickey.
I'd start with The Orchid, Pang.
