GAME DAY Round 13 - Tigers away to the Dockers

Baker is doing what he does best and the umps seem to be doing what they do best, hammer the Tigers
Didn't your hear ? AFL directive this week to umpiring Dept. "Baker to be pinged every time he goes near the ball." Punishment for being selected by RFC instead of waiting for a WA club through the WAFL.

Looked to be shoulder on shoulder. Not much Mansell could do, think he'll be fine.
I'm thinking Graham might go for the sling, freo players head seemed to bounce off the ground. Hopefully, I saw it wrong.

The umpire should be suspended for not calling holding the ball, if he had have done his job the Freo player would never have had to be tackled to the ground. All too common unfortunately.

100% correct, it was a 360 turn, long enough to dispose of the ball. The whistle should've gone, but that would've meant a free to Richmond LOL. Freo scored from that supposed sling tackle

Said it before... the more umpires we have, the weaker the cohort. There are umpires out there who are simply not ready or given the job to make up numbers.
Nonsense. These numbers are not a matter of random ineptitude. Look at the discrepancies and blatant hypocrisy of so many decisions. It is deliberate. Such number patterns of FA cf. FF over several years can not be merely randomly distributed.

What I noticed this year is after a series of early losses, so we looked like a non-contender, the pattern changed with us getting a fairer go (like other teams), even winning the count occasionally. But now we are looking more threatening, the fix is back in again.
(Or was it due to the publicity about Benny Gale possibly becoming the new AFL footy director? Which seems to have faded somewhat atm).

So
A touch of Lloyd Xmas about him wasn’t there
This makes my blood boil. Luke Ryan should sign up to play soccer after this roll-around. Have a listen to fox footy, much in it LOL
It was as soft as butter.

Absolute discrageful free kick.

Absolute disgrace of a free kick. I can confidently say if the umps weren’t so corrupt last night we would have won by at least 7 goals.

Tyler young has had 0 possessions in a half of football
You cannot just be a stopper in today's game. Defenders must be able to intercept and rebound. Must be able to take decisive possessions and help run it out.
