Roast AFL admits umps wrong

[joelsyt]

Didn't watch last night... any encroachment 50's?

There actually was one and it was there.

Well at least we will hopefully have better umpiring next weekend.
Happy the umps got put on notice.

Just imagine this scenario - as a result of this weeks shit umpiring we see an over correction next weekend. #freekickrichmond
They will burn the place down.

Lost count of the times the umpires have said sorry to us after rorting us the previous day.

Sneaky tactic.

Seriously what a bunch of incompetent campaigners. How many times do we get dry rooted on farcical costly decisions to have the umps dept later apologise during the week.
Jack shepherd v freo, goal reversed
The bs touched goal reversed and overstep mark v gws
In 2016 v pies, cotch had free out of guts 30 sec left , about 4 oppo encroached the protected zone , completely ignored

It’s gotta stop. Our club should demand A grade umpires officiate our games , we re the ****en jewel in the crown to the afl and deserve better , much better

 

[smasha]

Very grey rule where umpires can blow or swallow the whistle to their shagrin.

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Good point. Probably confirms that they were instructed to enforce the rule hard.

Although dont rule out the umpires simply wanting the "look at me..... look at me..."

Only difference is now those incompetent campaigners aren't stopping our ability to win the game - just ****ing our %.

AFL is such a dodgy ****ing comp.

What about the one when Butler was lining up for goal from 50 and Murphy was standing next to him not moving and the umpire instead of giving him 50 just told him to move out the way? No apology for that? The umpires/AFL are as corrupt as FIFA and the ICC.

 

[Underarm]

Yes. One paid where the player was warned 2x not to come through and got pinged because he did. But bit of a joke considering it was boundary side and close to goal. Two other times players did exactly what our guys did and it was play on.

Yeah they were better last night, but there was still 2 really soft 50s paid against Essendon that wont be paid in a months time.

 

[Goldust]

It’s a ******* disgrace. That a multiibillion competition is run by amateurs,shows where we are in world sport.

Rompingwingins was talkin about the amateur judges during the Winter Olympics , at least they are consistent not like his brothers boys.

Some would suggest that it's a ###### disgrace that blokes, some who get paid 10 or 20 times the amount these guys do, miss targets by foot from 10 metres, or can't hit another bloke five metres away with a handball, or miss goals from set shots in the goal square of 15 metres out! But one and all laud them.
Everyone makes mistakes.

Now this may be novel , how about next time they go hard on a rule, they understand WTF they’re doing first ,, who’s in control at AFL house

 

[theflea]

It’s a freakin joke. Once Hardwick put them on notice to be consistent they shit themselves and have to admit they were wrong.
We were going nuts at the ground, could only assume someone ran over the mark. The protected zone looks much closer on TV. Live they were nowhere near the kicker and not disrupting in any way.

This is why its a crock. Remember the umps are at ground level. Unless they are perfectly behind or in front of the man on the mark, there is no way they can accurately judge a 10m gap from players running past the kicker.

This...they even have trouble with the lenght of kicks...15m is too hard...

^^^^ dead set cheats , only explanation

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

The AFL will just have to keep pumping the money richmond generates into the new plastic franchise clubs...
And throw a little curve ball at us now and again (rule changes) to keep us beatable...
Big problem for the AFL...

 

[TigersAlways]

Muppets. And they wonder why they are called maggots.

 

[Drofder]

Not only did they go over the top with the application of the rule but they couldn't even apply it correctly either. Absolutely disgraceful joke of a display by them on Thursday.

That Fisher is a shocking umpire at the best of times but he exceeded significantly his ordinarily low standards. Sh$t footballer and an even worse umpire.
