The umpiring in this match has been interesting to say the least

Also Dwayne Russell is an assault on your ears and Riccuito would be the worst special comments clown going round
How late were some of the whistles? Mind you it would be for a decision clearly there, it was just being called by the umpire 100 metres away. Absolutely low standard of umpiring this season so far.

There was more non-controlling umpire decisions in that game than any other game I can remember.

Freo will be fine they will play their grand final next week and pump their chests up
Don't forget the cartwheels when they kick a goal against a team with no bench.

So in the first 10 rounds Port Adelaide will play 7 games at the Adelaide Oval....2, at the MCG and one at the cattery

and you reckon this game isn't F**Ked ??

the AFL is a joke
So ports MO is to come out and smash the first half of the season looking like a premiership team before completely shitting the bed in the 2nd half of the season .
It happens like clockwork .

The fact they play so many home games means they get the rough end of the stick in the 2nd half when they struggle.

They get 13 out of 23 games at home this season including away vs crows and gather round

Crows get the same

For comparison Collingwood get 14 mcg games 3 marvel and 6 interstate ( 1 neutral venue )

Reckon Petch was hard done by on his 50m if that one on Emmett wasn’t paid just before

And it will continue to be this way until they add another two umpires to get some consistency out there.

why does late whistles and umpire from 100m away mean poor umpiring, if the decisions were correct?

as for umpiring, has there ever been a season without perceived poor umpiring? they don't have Birds Eye view and with congestion, I am amazed they see anything.....personally, don't think its that bad. poor umpiring perception isn't helped by shitty centre bounces they need to perform that only the die hards care about.

Yes, it's the centre bounces that are making their in-game decisions look bad.

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. Perhaps I can now see where the problem is, at least from your end. Hint, it’s not the umpires.


don’t think it’s as bad as people make out. It’s about expectation. A number of things are grey and are open to interpretation between individual umpires who work on consistency but you cannot eliminate it.

And you can’t have rules black and white as then there would be free kicks for incidental contact.

They make 1000s of decisions each game.

Someone disagrees and you go for the man. How typically on brand for you.
 
Just softening you up before slamming you with some thoughts on umpiring.

So far, all you have given is a whinge.

Is it written on the same stationary as "Why haven't I seen Harley Reid stay back an extra 10 minutes after training?!"?

Sure to be a hoot.

100M. It means one and probably 2 umpires missed an obvious free.
