Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

[Merveille]

I wasn't watching when Rayner went off but before you get too worked up check the situation the play stopped in.

Did one team own the ball or did the umpire own the ball?

The protocol is that the umpires don't stop play when a team owns the ball unless they absolutely have to or a stretcher is called.

If the ball goes neutral and there is an injured player in the vicinity who can quickly be removed then they pause.

The Prestia one didn't meet that criteria because we didn't call for the stretcher. If the ball went neutral in the Rayner one then that's the difference.

Ok thanks. Brayshaw was wrong then, wefare isn’t the AFL priority, given the ball was kicked over Prestia’s head twice. Might send him an email

Dions just gone past his best performance in the Brownlow. Previously he had 13 in 2014.

 

[mrposhman]

It might be Touk this year

 

[mrposhman]

Reckon its either Miller (possibly 1 vote) or Cripps. He got 35 in Round 23, so a good chance to poll votes. Neale won't poll

 

[mrposhman]

The fix is in, how does Neale get votes in that thrashing by Melbourne.

Haha just realised I'm in the wrong thread - what a dumbarse

Not exactly. This is the FARCE thread. A player who should've been suspended won the Brownlow.

Now that I have finally calmed down about try he FARC, I am focusing my anger on the non paying of a 50 metre penalty against Andrews.

The bit that piqued my interest was "and one on each goal post," Where is that footage?

All they need is a low intensity laser on the top of each post, light on the ball, point.

Or high intensity to put it beyond doubt

Exactly. The ball explodes if kicked over the top of the post. Easy.

Laser triangulation sensors.

Bloke who installs them rang up the radio a few weeks ago and said he can’t believe something as simple and effective (supposedly) hasn’t been installed.

Its the future everyone. Oh and it could also solve the MCG's issue with seagulls. Pew, pew, pew

Put cameras in the seagulls?

What we’ve all been calling for, more umpires!

4 field umpires in 2023 according to Mitch Cleary.

Flog infestation. Hope they run into each other backwards.

Is that to increase scoring?

Will be interesting to see how the new set-up works, if they move to a quadrant style arrangement it might help with some of the misunderstanding of perspectives by the great unwashed.

Of course the most likely outcome is we get the ubiquitous 'how can't four of them see it'.

or the one furthest away will call a free the other 3 dont.

How about paying a few free kicks when Tommy & Jack are getting manhandled?

Why do you think this new set up has just been made?
