Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Cheating, inept, corrupt bastards had the temerity to give us more free kicks than the pussies.
Except the bald bastard umpire who was simply horrendous. He must be the 3rd Scott twin. *smile*.

Who the *** was that bald headed bloke last night ? The other two were pretty good but the bald guy just smashed us. I’m watching the recording right now and he was every bit as bad as I thought he was at the game.
He looks a lot like the bloke who tried to win the 2019 VFL grand final for Willy off his own whistle.

The other three or however many there are will be getting please explains from SHocking.

I may well be wrong, but it seems (without referring to any stats) as though Richmond has had a better run with umpiring decisions over the past couple of games.

Dopey Hodge. He watches the replay of the Martin mark. Two hands in the back he says. Huh? The replay shows his hands on O'Connors shoulder. And O'Connor despite being in the advtandged front position chooses to launch himself and play for a free.

O'Connor was awful all night, he's a hack. That effort was an example of a bloke with no idea as a defender.

Umpires were pretty good all night. Just shows you if you get the rub of the green it influences the game.

The only thing was the lack of penalties for not standing - Hawkins is the king of moving around before stopping. And Balta took a deep mark and a cats player ran inside the 9 fvrom outside the 9 trying to slow him down. If Bolton does it its an automatic 50. This wasn't.

Ever since the new ceo publically said he was a tigers supporter?
……and the strong rumour is Benny is going to run the AFL footy department which includes the umps. Time to change a few rules to ensure Geesook never win another final to return the favour to Shocking

Well if Benny does decide to head up the afl footy department I hope he gets rid of the stand rule immediately.
But also simplifies some of the grey areas/interpretations that frustrate supporters and players.
Also he can *smile* off BT, Brayshaw, Mincey. Ban cornflakes, purple head and Hutchison off out of the game. Cut their afl credentials up.
Publicly whip with a rattan cane any inept, corrupt umpires like baldy in last nights game.

Time for honesty, transparency and the ability to listen to club supporters with regard to issues that *smile* us off so much.
And fixture Collingwood, Brisbane, Melbourne etc to play at sourpuss park.

Ha ha ha. Not one part of the hand in the back. It's the forearms, which is entriely allowed.

Would love to see the still of every boundary thrown-in involving Hawkins. It would show two hands placed squarely in the middle of the oppositions back almost every time. Commentators love to call it "strength".

Hodge is a moron bogan *smile* head that could play football.

The other usual annoyance was BT geeting upset with every 50/50 free kick received by the tigers. He was incredulous at times that we got the frees. The Cameron "deliberate" a great example. The rule is not deliberate (as total body rub loves to remind us all) it's insufficient intent BT. Cameron soccered it hard towards the boundary. It went over at pace. It was the very defintiion of insufficient intent. Yet BT carried on and on and on about it.

That's why we are getting the free kicks
They are shiit scared they will be umpiring in Siberia if they don't look after us .
Rosebury gave us everything
But Kojak bend us over
 
A couple of 50's to the frockers. Good to see players penalised for trying to sneak ground on the mark. Deliberate time wasting by Rowbottom by trying to creep a couple of m, umpire right onto him. It's the sort of thing Hawkins did a couple of times last night.

And another one against Walters for not giving ball back straight away. Good stuff by the umps.
 
The media even asked Salty about the umpiring. He played a straight bat, but did anyone do that to Dimma when we’ve got the rough end of the pineapple?

Isn’t the rule simple? Don’t extend your arms when your hands are planted in someone’s back or you’ll give away a free (unless you’re Hawkins of course).
