Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
Interesting that with 4 umpires Dusty's push wasn't penalised. Sometimes we are on the receiving end.
Clear free kick against Martin. Nice to be on the positive side of some dodgy ones.
Yeah nah, it's one of the ones that if the Geelong player had not of exaggerated he might have got it. Maybe. Umpire was directly side on to the action, Martin used elbows and a side on action. Both moving forward. Play on in my books with all the preceding actions at the other end providing precedent.
On a general note, what’s happened to the holding the ball rule? You really have to be stiff to get pinged for that nowadays. I’m all for protecting the playmakers but we’ve taken it too far. Just creates stoppage after stoppage.
If they pay the frees as they should it would open up the game removing the supposed reason for bringing in the stand rule.

They have been better in the last couple of weeks for mine.
The whistle is being blown quickly most of the time so a ball up is a good outcome as it's more consistent.
Coaches will start to adapt if it remains this way.
The stand rule is a blight on the game, I'd rather a ball up any day of the week opposed to the stand rule.
Ahhh also just remembered the boundary throw in that was done with out rucks, how bloody good was that? The ump was ready so the ball got put into play without some stupid primary school rule about nominating. I loved it and I wish it was the norm.
Alright second post on this twat.
Murphy from Collingwood.
This bloke got his right whack a few weeks back from Adelaide. I liked it as he is a prick and gets away with crap every game.
This week he again should have been penalised but instead received another *smile* free kick.
How can the umpires support this player by rewarding him for being a *smile*.
Why doesnt the AFL bring his actions to light by summoning him to answer for them.
As you can see I don't rate him.

Not the umps fault, but they are told to penalise players trying to dispose of the ball, eg dropping it when trying to kick, or even trying to fend off when a tackler is on them quickly, but they continue to allow guys to walk into tackles to wrap the ball up- clearly intentional, and clearly not trying to get rid of it, but its a ball up every time. (except when it's not.)
The ump needs to be spoken to as well. That was a push to the chest by Cadman but he signalled it high. There was no high contact there at all, but bend over and give it to the guy that provoked it anyway.
Channel 7 recently referred to Hawkins doing it as his “trademark move”!!
Maybe that’s because we’re not much good anymore, and the flogs have been told they can ease up on us.
