Except on the vision I have seen you can’t see that it is a punch, and you can’t see where it connects if it was!

Maybe all umpires should be ex coppers? 😂 My husband was a cop for 25 years and has umpired ametures for the last six years. He came home last week and said someone had called him an “old c#*t”. I asked him which part he was most offended by? He said “the old part!”. People are definitely more...

This has no joke been a topic of discussion every year for as long as I can remember. Does everyone out there really think the (Vic biased) AFL powerbrokers have not done some sort of investigation into this? Do you really think the umpiring department don’t do weekly reviews of games? That...

Lucky we don’t get to stay at home as much as the Vic teams do or the premiership would be ours every year.:thumbsu:

We should really be asking for an inquiry as to why we have lost the free kick count away from Optus 3/4 times. Saints coach should be happy they don’t travel interstate every other week I guess.

Don’t worry about looking at past years, I have done it before and there is no one umpire that we get consistently. Lucky we make shit tonnes of money so we can pay off the whole umpiring department. We have lost the free kick count four times this year though. Sydney 28-20, Bulldogs 19-18...

Why don’t you look into it and get back to us?

LOL. Here is a game you can play at home. Go back and check who has umpired our games this year. Margetts has only umpired two games of ours, Round 1 v Sydney which we lost and also lost the free kick count 28-20. The other game was v Dockers which we won and had free kick advantage of 22-20...

I don't think it is within the spirit of the game, and I was filthy when Boomer Harvey did something similar to milk a 50 down in Tassie a couple of years ago (dropped the ball then claimed our player knocked it out of his hands). Having said that I pissed myself laughing watching it yesterday...

I don't understand your point, there were no deliberate out of bounds called? So the crowd "crying calls" resulted it nothing? Don't you have crowds that cheer for decisions in the east? You should really try it if you think it works so well.

Correct decision. Unlike a lot of people on here I actually like the rule as well. Would rather see players fighting hard for the ball at the goals than just punching it through for a point.

Pretty sure we lost one when Yeo was suspended for a spoil, having eyes only for the ball a year or so ago.

Harsh, I wouldn't call Zaka a shit player.

These are high free kick stats? I find it really difficult to believe that Lycett is getting 2.5 high free kicks a game!?

What I see is Cripps running in the opposite direction to Dogvagni, senses there is someone running up to him from behind and braces for contact. Of course he is probably expecting a bump but gets a flying elbow to the head instead.

Cripps was running away from him you tool.

If they remove tackling from this sport I will not watch it again.

LOL yourself. Webster went off with a blood nose, came back on and was cleaned up by his own team mate later on in the game. He was then subbed off with concussion. But you make up your own story if you like. TBH don't think Fyfe should be suspended for that, but I am still livid Yeo was given...

How was he going for the ball when he had his back to it?

EFA

The thing I found confusing was that play continued on ( as if the ball had been kicked, no free therefore play on) and then they called it back and bounced it up! If it wasn't holding the ball, it should have been play on!? Some super strange umpiring happening today. So glad West Coast...

Ah-huh.:rolleyes::drunk:

Shuey and Selwood don't duck, Walters ducks.

We also lead the league in frequent flyer points as well, do you want to whinge about how you don't have to fly across the country every other week? Not all things in this comp are equal unfortunately. Don't worry, the MRP have got rid of one of our best performing players this year for you on...

I noticed the runners get in the way of play at least four times in this game yesterday.

Umm, pretty much the whole post. You probably think Lindsey Thomas is a good player, so I guess it becomes confusing.

Quentin Lynch tried the "I am just an unco" defense once a couple of years back. They didn't buy it.

Yes, Cox is a six time AA because of his ability to dive and flail his arms. Seriously, get a grip.

Oh please, Hoskin- Elliot bounced up and took his free kick and played out the rest of the game unhindered (LeCras bumped him in the first five minutes). Hardly a dirty hit. It was high and was graded reckless when everyone else got a negligent grading, but Leccas never been suspended before so...

So in fact Shepperd actually missed more game time than Vince. He was off for longer doing the concussion test than there was time left in the game after the tackle on Vince. Any way you want to spin it, they were both crap decisions.
