Fivey, there is exactly 0 evidence anyone was talking about politics in here. Stop listening to the lying mainstream media.

Take it to the Politics Board thanks.
You're right, the media is a paragon of truth, but the only time they misrepresent or exaggerate things is when talking about the west coast eagles, and free kicks
Carry on

Those damn Liberals stuffed up NBN.
What's actually the problem with the NBN? I've heard a few people complaining about it but it isn't available just yet in my area, I can't see how it wouldn't be a massive improvement on the complete garbage service that I have now masquerading as a 1st world internet service.

Interesting read. Don't agree with all of it and think the error rate of 2.2 per game from 400 decisions is being kind
There's definitely instances where umpires are effectively thrown under the bus because they interpret bad rules correctly - the mills deliberate being a good example. As the rule is written that was a free kick so the umpire is right, whether we as fans want that as a free kick is a separate issue
It is frustrating that decisions like the Puopolo one, which was clearly wrong, they don't just say was incorrect but instead try to justify it. He should have been called for htb well before McKay ended up on his back
Finally the point he makes about teams conceding more free kicks because they can be more aggressive is a good one and is part of the explanation for our free kick count. I don't think you'd find anybody that would characterise the Eagles as an aggressive side, in fact we are often criticised for being the opposite
But yeah, you know lets just look at the free kick count and make no attempt to investigate why it's different

Its the lack of accountability that frustrates me about the Umpires. Players/coaches get smashed for a poor game, yet the Umps can literally decide an outcome with their poor judgement and absolutely no backlash for the individual because they are such a protected species.
