Review Fremantle Contest a Game in South Australia

[Snuffaluphagus]

Carlton peeps, come on, no one on here wants your advice, stay out

Edit: holy **** Carlton people, how can you think anyone here wants your input on umpires or anything to do with the game. Stay out or get pointed

 

[Joao]

Wait until the JJJs get together then tell me our forward line doesn’t have enough fire power.

Fingers crossed.

We should have buried them earlier. There was just way too many skill errors, indecisiveness, we seem to be hitting the grass with kicks/handballs more often than not rather than team mates. Lack of composure and awareness by some
Even if we were more direct the game would have been over before the controversial call. Chipping it in the 50 and turning it over, it was kind of hard to watch. Our forwards aren’t working hard enough and dropping too many marks. Even McKay who barely did anything took more marks than all of our big forwards.
Really liked Sharp and Aish this game.

I was always a huge supporter of getting Sharp to the club, but I’ve got to say that Aish has been brilliant and above my expectations so far this year at half back. Thats not to say I had very low expectations for him. I thought he would do well at half back, but his defensive and attacking qualities have surpassed my expectations

I agree mostly, but not sure we have the personnel to improve enough this year.

That said, Dogs forwardline in 2016 was trash so who knows?

I don't think we have the personnel yet to transition to a solid, mid or mid-lower of the range, premiership winning attack this year. I think though there is enough improvement in the younger forwards and, most importantly, in forward organisation and movement on transition to have it sneak up into the 'you could possibly win a flag with this level of attack' zone (your Sydney 2005 level.)

curious at who missed out for carlton

Looking at those votes obviously Aish and Ryan got one vote each, Serong must have got 3, two of Clark, Curnow and Weitering must have got 4 and the other one got two twos. So Brayshaw got 5 and 3 and Young got 5 and zero. I’m tipping JLo gave him 5 and Voss just looked at the stats and didn’t realise how well Young did his role.

He’s a weapon with Clark. Seems like he enjoys his football more across half back. He fits that role better than Young did tbh.

I thought Saad carved us from halfback. Thought he was more important to them than Curnow at least

 

[vidwhal]

I reckon from now on, whenever I get to a game, I'm taking a box of tissues to offer the umpires in case somebody hurts their feelings.

It's actually a great idea lol. If plenty start waving tissue boxes around the ground, it'll be a nice reminder of why for the green goblins.

Will Freo look to recruit Shai Bolton?
I believe he would add the pizazz we need around the ground to get deep forward and kick goals we don't or cant do now.
A tie to the club with his father playing for us a couple of times.
What would we have to give to get him?

I can't remember ever seeing the losing side get the huge bulk of the coaches' votes before - 22 to 8 is pretty out there.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Many of us have already begged - the title left us vulnerable. It has robbed us from celebrating just how much passion our boys showed.

A title of a thread robbed you? Give me strength.

 

[Midnite65]

I hope everyone on these pages complaining about the umpiring is out there every weekend umpiring junior football, because it's so easy to get right?

Disagree, I umpired footy for over 20 years and it wasn't that hard if you were consistent and got in the right position to see things. I also didn't umpire in a 4 umpire system.

 

[Midnite65]

That's the kinda the point. People lamenting bad decisions made by umpires in AFL which is an extremely fast and difficult game to umpire, must be just nailing every decision in the u10s games they umpire. Or could it be that they've never officiated in anything before and have no clue how hard it is to try to get every decision right, every time?

Umpiring has actually gotten worse the more umpires they add.

We should make it a thing. Kinda like the Essendon scarf waving.

Maybe not the place to ask this , but what do you see the problems are with four umpires?
I think having so many on the ground allows them to doze off a bit and miss the frees.
When you consider that the third umpire was brought into play, it was to stop the behind the scens thuggery. With so many cameras now, having three is a luxury, but four is a disaster.
As per the game under discussion.
One umpire called touched ball, play on. The other took no notice of the call and paid the mark.
I have never seen an umpire that made a call away from the play have his decison overturned by the ruling umpire.

 

[Taylor]

Fremantle has had their first round draft pick removed as punishment for highlighting the umpires bringing the game into disrepute.

... in three, two....

 

[gaskin]

Serious question. Can boundary umpires or goal umpires intervene or can they only discuss with central umpires if it involves their area?

No they can't.

Thats okay we have 2 more. Keep the pressure up and call it out.

They screwed the Crows last year hard. Now we've been screwed.

 

[Raz]

I mean it looked like a clear robbery at the time, and that was before seeing the new angles with the leg break deflection of the ball off Aish, and then finding out the ump didn't even hear what was said and to who before calling dissent. What an amateur league this is sometimes. We don't have 4 points out of that game solely because the men in green collectively felt the pressure of the occasion and shat their dacks, that's it really.

Where is the AFL statement that umpires did not hear the dissent , this seems to being reported in various media outlets but no official statements from the umpires. Watching the video replay of the event, there is no way the umpire did not hear jordan. they were very close, and even players further from Jordan than the umpire, quickly came to Jordan to calm him down. So they all heard it.

Cn you provide evidence of the TOUCHED play on Call.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

This is ridiculous - to be totally honest I thought Ralph was making just shit up with him saying the umpire didn't know what was said.

But now we have the club saying 1 story and the AFL another - so which one is it?

Unfortunately I think the AFL doesn't care enough to clear this up - they'll just move on as if nothing happened like they always do.

Sorry, but I don't believe that in 20 years you never made a mistake. That's the point I'm making.

There's making a mistake and there's doubling down on said mistake.

 

[kingswood71]

When umpires miss something like that, I do wonder if its a mistake or a deliberate mistake though

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Watched a few replays
Stevic saw the touch and went out of his way Not to call it..
And slink off

 

[Madas]

They're allowed to beat Collingwood and I'll be supporting that endeavor.

In my Bizarro Jerry world I want them to win every game this season , drink so much bath water that they explode and then go out in straight sets in finals so we can all sit on our verandahs in WA and hear the moans and wailing coming from Melbourne, wafting through the air
