After last night’s annihilation, it was still…


Our club executive and board has presided over this mess for 8 years now. There is a breach of contract here and we should make no media statements but simply seek compensation for AFL’s breach of contract to provide effective umpiring of our games. The evidence is overwhelming.

If Richmond didnt cop bad umpiring last night it would have been 100 point margin instead of 119. They are very brave fans calling out the very obvious massive corruption/match fixing

Those in the AFL hierarchy had a bet on the Lions to win by 110+ and engineered this via their SS style umpiring squad.

There is no other possible answer.

AFL Concedes on Tiger Umpire Bias
22nd May 2024

In a break from typical AFL dialog, AFL Football Operations Manager Laura Kane has conceded that there is a significant umpire bias within Richmond games.

"The club has come to us a number of times in relation to the free kick disparity experienced by Richmond" Laura Kane said today. "The complaints have been frequent and ongoing since the 2017 season. Upon review, it has been apparent that there is a clear difference in the interpretation of certain grey areas in the game, such as the prior opportunity rule" she said.

"The umpiring fraternity have also taken liberties with the 15m kick mark rule, often calling play on when kicks have clearly travelled 25 metres for Richmond players, yet paid marks when the opposition has kicked the ball as little as 6 metres.".

When asked why there has been such a bias against one club Laura Kane explained that without the bias, the AFL competition would have been stuck in a repetitive finals series situation where Richmond wins flags, and Geelong get nothing. She highlighted the lengths the AFL had to go through in the 2022 finals series with a conscientious score review decision to get Richmond out of the finals series to allow Geelong to finally break through for the coveted premiership cup. Laura pointed out that during the home and away series, Richmond, having conceded a considerable lead to Geelong after Dion Prestia was felled off the ball, managed to come back and take the lead late in the game. It was only some inventive umpiring including a deliberate out of bounds decision paid against Shane Edwards who kicked while being slung 360 degrees, and a reversal after a Reiwoldt mark 25m out that allowed Geelong to steal the points. At the time, Dion Prestia was the best player afield, so it was obvious that the writing was on the wall again for the 2022 final series despite how many rules the AFL changed to stop the Damian Hardwick led juggernaut.

When pressed on why the AFL was ready to concede the obvious bias now, Laura Kane highlighted the issue this has created come the National Draft.

"We have reviewed the games earlier in the year, and in particular the Carlton and Port Adelaide games and realised that without umpire intervention, Richmond would have triumphed on both occasions. This presents us with a situation where a club, which quite frankly is loaded with picks for the 2024 draft, clearly isn't as bad as the ladder position currently reflects. On this basis, we will need to review the draft picks held by the Richmond Football Club, and re-allocate them accordingly. We can't have a situation where a club like Richmond tampers with the integrity of the National Draft by getting shafted by the umpires. It becomes unfair for teams who legitimately accumulate picks while getting a fair run from the umpires" Laura said today.

The AFL is expected to make a decision on the Selections Richmond will be able to retain, and where these selections will be within the 2024 National

A very left field idea. Let’s trade Lobb to Melbourne for an unhappy Petracca with a trade of picks attached. Watched Petracca on Kayo last night and didn’t seem very happy at all. The ideas of getting Barrass with Bailey Smiths pick, or Busslinger are very appealing too.

Imagine us with Sam Darcy, poor kid, would be ruined inside 3 years.

You'd still have guys on here saying we need to trade for more forwards if we had Darcy and Curnow and were still only kicking 10-12 goals a week.

Some dogs fans have a very much inflated value of Lobb. He’d be a slight upgrade on Schace. I don’t even want him for free.

Thread needs a revival. I bring Dan Houston discussion from our friends on the Poort board:

For Pickett and thier first rounder

Melbournes first plus Kozzi for Houston and 2nd rounder?

Absolutely.

Kozzi is our missing piece.

This has the making of a disaster.

Pickett does not value add to a side the way Houston does. That Melbourne would do that trade tells you pretty much all you need to know about who's winning there.

FWIW I really rate Houston, as I mentioned in the Trade/FA Thread. But the fact that this is a serious discussion indicates that after 11 Sack Hinkley threads, their brains have finally melted.

They living in lala land. Kozzie is untradable. That's without mentioning their terribly lopsided proposed deal.
