Umpiring Round 2 Bulldogs v Collingwood

[Wosh]

Dogs 14 - Pies 33
Western Bulldogs fans have every right to feel hard done by after some costly umpiring calls went against them in their six-point loss to Collingwood on Friday night.
The Dogs took it right up to Collingwood in the first quarter and the match turned into a thriller in the second half, with the Magpies escaping with a 10.16 (76) to 10.10 (70) victory.

With just one point separating the teams with less than five minutes remaining in the game, Bulldogs defender Bailey Dale scampered towards a loose ball at the junction of the 50-metre arc and the boundary line.
Dale did well to get there before Collingwood’s Dan McStay and he didn’t have control of the ball as it pinballed off him over the boundary.
But in a brutally harsh call, the umpire deemed Dale had shown “insufficient intent” to keep the ball in play and awarded a free kick to Collingwood.

By far the worst umpired/rigged game I have ever watched in my life and there have been some howlers in the past. Atrocious is an understatement this league is cooked

Daicos can also apparently walk the ball out of bounds under no pressure but it’s no free kick.

I’m backing him blind for the Brownlow for the next decade. It’s amazing the protection he gets.

 

[LordLucifer]

Some of the umpiring decisions that went against the Dogs were simply wrong.

 

[Foxx]

Bulldogs lose by 6 to the umpires.

 

[Doggy]

That Dale "insufficient attempt" that led to their last goal was diabolical... at no point did he have control of the ball.

Meanwhile Nick Daicos runs around in circles and scores a try over the boundary in the final minute and that one was ok

 

[CheerCheerQuackQuack]

I feel robbed of a good game of footy from that umpiring, truely awful

I feel robbed of a good game of footy from that umpiring, truely awful

Not even the worst game destroyed by umpires

 

[PerthBoy86]

Exactly my point.

You're choosing to look at games with a close margin. Surprisingly you didn't choose games where Collingwood won by 5+ goals? You're trying to find something that isn't there.

Umpiring is ridiculously subjective that you can pick any game - big or small margin, big or small club - and write a 5000-word thesis on why a team got screwed. Pick any quarter of any game tomorrow and there will be over 100 decisions where you could earnestly say it was a 50/50 call; or you could pick 10+ dodgy-ish decisions. The fans, the media, the wider footballing public just don't talk about them when the margin is inconsequential.

But I'm not going to change your mind, nor anyone else's on here. Too many people have been conditioned to believe the umpires are always involved in some grand conspiracy; coincidentally it most often involves their club.

Time and time again the Pies get away with howlers in the dying minutes. Just dont see that with any other club with that regularity. Of course you're unlikely to acknowledge that, but it doesn't change the fact.

I tipped Collingwood, so I’m happy they won. Footscray were gallant in defeat, but the umpires were the real losers.

FOOTSCRAY 3.4 6.7 7.9 10.10 (70)
COLLINGWOOD 2.4 5.8 8.11 10.16 (76)

GOALS
Footscray: Darcy 4, McNeil, Vandermeer, Harmes, West, Liberatore, Freijah
Collingwood: Schultz 2, Hill 2, Sidebottom 2, McStay, Elliott, Houston, McCreery

BEST
Footscray: Darcy, Liberatore, Richards, Dale, Kennedy, English
Collingwood: N.Daicos, Foot, Rosebury, Pendlebury, Williamson, Gianfagna, Schultz, Cameron, Lipinski, Howe

We have seen this before.
The 2023 finals series.

 

[smasha]

Richmond the only team left in the AFL that does not get a leg up with umpiring.

Lowest free kicks of all teams R1.

Richmond are truly hit hard with the non calls though.

The trend continues.

But it feels actually good having a win like that.

Port game,umps usually go out to town on us.

Will be very interesting.

 

[MaxiBont]

If they paid the arm chops by Darcy Moore, Sam Darcy would have already had the Coleman locked up.

That Dale insufficient intent call, onto the non front-on contact call on Baker into the Sidebottom goal was a joke.

The problem wasn’t even the free kick count, it was the non-calls and the moments that the bad decisions were made.

Momentum killers.

 

[flamethrower]

I'll take this in a meaningless round 2 game if it means another 2016 like run in September this year.

Receipts are being kept.

 

[420]

The game is torched if the umpires last night are "the best of the best"

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

funny how supporters are willing to dissect the umpires at every opportunity rather than dissect there own teams performance and decisions, umpiring will never be true and fair as just about every rule is open to interpretation of how that umpire sees it, no different to the average fan sitting at home.

 

[domus]

I rarely think the umpires decide the game.

That might be one of the few times they did. 19 differential is ridiculous.

Was the umpiring ridiculous or the differential? I guarantee if they didn't show the stats half of the whingers wouldn't have noticed any discrepancy.

 

[domus]

Daicos can also apparently walk the ball out of bounds under no pressure but it’s no free kick.

I’m backing him blind for the Brownlow for the next decade. It’s amazing the protection he gets.

Darcy shoved McStay in the back and sent him flying and was paid the mark which resulted in a goal. Any comment?

this

is there a break down of the free kicks documented anywhere?
i was shocked when i realized we were in front on the free kick count. we had 2 in the backs paid against when dogs took huge dives, and jamie taken high in the goal square, no free, No 50 to Cox for a punch in the face, no 50 for tunneling, yes i did see a couple of soft ones, but both ways, and yes i did see a couple the dogs didnt get. thats why id like to see a list of the frees.

Not just our game, how about free kick hawthorn on thursday? 19 on the ground and the blues surging, and yet they didnt get the free and 50? \

the umps have been shit for years. the dogs were gifted 2016, we get robbed in grand finals, so ill take this no matter the salt!

go Pies!!

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Normally you walk away and say "ok, it looked bad, but it was 50/50"
Last night, you walked away wondering if the umpires were watching the play

There’s different fans from 17 clubs discussing how bad the umpiring. This game was an outlier for how bad it was

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

I’m interested. The umpiring apparently went collingwood’s way. Can somebody please point which of their free kicks were incorrect decisions? I do recall recall a couple of blatant errors where Darcy clearly infringed before marking and then goaled which had an impact, and the cox punch to the face was an obvious 50 which should have had the free taken from the top of the goal square.

 

[smasha]

Great game of footy last night. Very impressed with the both teams but particularly the Dogs for performing so well with their outs. The umpiring - yeah, it went Collingwoods way. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Or in Collingwood's case,90 percent of the time.

Normally you would be right but 14 to 38 is an absolute travesty and there were a lot of examples of the same non call for a Bulldog player and a free kick to a Collingwood player for the same thing.

They had a shocker when both teams gave us an entertaining game.

 

[BomberManU]

It was terrible. The Daicos non-call vs the Dale deliberate call summed up the umpiring for the whole night.
