Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
It's hard.
Last week they stopped our come back.
With the free kick to King and then Broad pinged.
And in tonight's game they played everything Carlton expected to get and we got absolutely reamed.
Gale regardless if he staying or going needs to bring this up.
It's turning people off the game.
And to compound things even more
You have commentators that laugh off the incidents
KINGY ' the umpire can use the centre square as a reference as to how long 50metres is"
Dunstan "Umpires are human they make mistakes"
I bet the media will make more from the 2 free kicks paid to Lynch then the half a dozen specials Carlton got especially in the last qtr.
Sure umpires can make mistakes but when the majority of their mistakes are an obvious bias against a certain team, their performance has to be questioned at the highest level. Last years stats prove that bias
Interesting, I thought this may not be the case, but, yes, you do have to tackle a player in order to get a holding the ball decision.
So, I wondered if this has always been the case, seems it has, I referred back to the rules from 1970.
What really caught my eye though was some other aspects of the rules in 1970, as follows:
Seems that the idea of keeping the ball in motion is no longer a priority for the AFL. What a mess they have made of the game, wonder when these rules were changed.

We are All paranoid apparently. This from the fox sports article...
The umpiring decisions evened themselves out as the game went on
This is true because as we know a -10 free kick deficit to Richmond is even.
Every year we're getting royally screwed.
I agree it does put us off the game.
The club has got to take a stand.

This is 3 games off the top of my head in the last 5 games.
The umpires have directly influenced the result..
Port game when Grimes was legged he paid holding the ball, last week the shiit we copped in the last qtr was just laughable, kings free kick against Young was close to the softest free I've seen.
And last night especially the last qtr wad beyond a joke.
They blew the whistle with excitement.
P.s we are the 1st to be penalised for a block but I cannot remember ever any of our forwards getting a free kick.
Newman at times had his back to the ball.

Might be time for the coach to not only work the players on their ball skills and decision making but also on their tackling and blatantly stupid 50 metre penalties. We're our own worst enemies at giving up cheap free kick and 50 metre penalty goals in the comp.
Apart from some appalling decision making and execution in our forward half during the game that cost us multiple goals we again gave away several cheap goals to Carlscum from stupid penalties.

Here come the umpires……..
I’m not really sure why I couldn’t wait for the footy to start, it’s only round one and I’m already over it.

Me too. He gets crucified. Never given any time to get rid of it and an assumption is always made that he’s taken on the tackler even when it’s clear he hasn’t.
It's time for the coach to teach the players how to cheat and play for frees like most other clubs do
Apperently even Wayne Carey thought we were reemed last night - especially the 70m advantage for the 50 which was soft according to several commentators on radio. Just wait though the AFL fan boys like Whately and Robbo et el will cover it up by showing the Lynch free kicks..... So will the likes of Cornes on Sunday Footy show.
Was at the game and my mate said at the time that this feels weird. I said don’t worry, they’ll make up for it and screw us over the rest of the game. If only picking the right powerball numbers could be as predictable.
What stood out for me was the number of times we got the ball, had possession for milliseconds and got pinged for holding the ball, yet I can recall at least a couple of instances where scum players got the ball, took steps, got tackled, did 360’s and still managed to be allowed to get rid of the ball with no penalty. I guess the Chris Judd rule is a birthright at that *smile* of a club
