Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

It sucks for our guys who started the tackle legally ie shoulder or below and then have a couple of there guys routinely chicken wing shrug it so it becomes a free kick. Are they just supposed to go lower?

The Hawthorn players were pantomiming lifting the arm and smirking on the sidelines. The umpires were too stupid to know that they were being stooged.

Richmond tax continues. I didn't know 1 player would be fined for a melee he didn't cause. Seriously get *smile* AholeFL.

If the umpires did their job and penalised players when they hold forwards back then this wouldn't happen. But they are too useless to enforce the Holding the Man rule.

No wonder there are less leading forwards these days, they can't get away from the defenders holding them back with impunity.

Hardwick jumps in, starts pulling and shoving and gets off.

How can only one player be fined in a 6-player+++ melee?
no case to answer on the Brown sling tackle. Pretty sure his head hit the turf...

The AFL can go *smile* themselves. Fine the *smile* useless maggots for not doing their job properly in not paying our forwards the same free kicks they pay the opposition

Absolutely. Lynch was held constantly last night and when he did get there he was blocked and pushed out of the contest.

Don’t blame Frost, he was getting away with it so he kept on doing it

afl house should be renamed Football Luna Park.The workers there can be referred to as..lunatics.
Chief Executive Lunatic - Andrew Dillon
Head of Football Lunatic - Laura “grey areas” Kane
Match Review Lunatic - Michael “ thick as a brick” Christian
Chief Legal Lunatic - who cares
Etc.



When the afl Commission convene, they can have Lunatic Commission Chairman - *smile* brain Goyder
Other members referred to as Lunatic Commissioners

Was it another episode of ‘there’s nothing to see here’ by the umps?

Absolutely and I was saying the same thing yesterday. "The head is sacrosanct" but if you duck and put YOUR head in the vulnerable position you are rewarded??? What??? Only in the AFL could you get that sort of hypocrisy.
Yeah it figures with a bunch of retards running the game
