Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
F*ck Me, are you seriously suggesting they follow the rules as published by the AFL?
No way, can't have it, how would the umpires have any influence, what would become of our game? It would just be controlled by how the players play, can't have it.

Absolutely he is. It's infuriating what he gets away with. Throws the ball like a rugby player.
Then our blokes get tackled and straight away it's holding the ball.
I got some sacred vision of the umpires turning up at the G last night.
They don't like the Tiges as they think we stole their yellow.
Absolutely perfect. Yes there really was four main stooges not just three. Larry, Mo, Curly and Shemp. With another couple of later entries by Joe Besser n Joe De Rita. Could it be an omen that eventually we'll have six maggots crawling all over the game in future.
Last minute, nank send a ball in, weitering devotes himself to sheparding lynch from the contest,
Easy carlton mark.
Commentator says 'lynch held out of it brilliantly by weitering'
Not even big richo could argue weitering was doing anything other than blocking Tom.
What is the actual rule on blocking in a marking contest?
Easy carlton mark.

Yes. I think Dusty and cotchy are the only non-protected species brownlow winners of any era?
Yeah. Imagine if they missed one like that with a minute to go in the Grand Finale and it led to the winning goal.
That would really suck.
Doesn’t matter what the actual rule is. Whatever it is, it doesn’t apply to us if it advantages us
Putting extra idiots in the mix doesn’t raise the intelligence level or improve their decision making or bias.
Bloody mob of sHockings…cheats, inconsistent bumbling dickheads, prancing show ponies, .
A couple of capuchin monkeys would do a better job than these buffoons.
I hope the ATO investigate the AFL umpires for fraud
They can all gagf.

watched the replay, this is so true, so obvious. Fair dinkum, its dumb umpiring. 1 the frees are barely there, if at all, 2. haveing staging form supposedly, allegedly, logically, means the umps are likely to not pay them to players with form.
How hard can it be? What do they do during the week? They obviously aren't watching tapes and thinking about how to do things better.
Cochin isn’t according to the keyboard warriors on Twitter. “ Protected species since he headhunted Shiel in 2017 and is an overrated sniper”
It's a free kick to the blocked player. Unless that player is a Richmond forward.
As I understand it if you block a player's path to the ball in a marking contest then you must be attempting to mark or spoil the ball yourself. So what Weitering did in that play would seem to satisfy the conditions for a free kick to Lynch. So much blocking is borderline and difficult for the umpire to decipher which of the players is causing the contact. But in this case it was probably pretty clear.
