Umpiring North v Carlton Good Friday Game Umpiring ‘Discussion’

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Not Charlie and Harry’s fault North employ 6 absolute scraggers down back.

 

[PP34]

Maybe North should stop grabbing Curnow.

Nah bro it’s da umpies fault

Oh, i'm not suggesting it was good umpiring, far from it, it's been terrible and favoured one side.

But i've seen worse.

I recall one game at the Cattery where Freo got killed four ways by the umpiring.

Yeah Mundy had a kick from just outside 50 to win it after the siren.

 

[The 747]

Thought most of the Curnow and McKay free kicks were there. People will love a whinge, but North simply didn't have any KPD and the players panicked giving away dumb frees. Zurhaar did a Selwood type arm lift operation to force the contact high. They've been paid high before, but honestly fine with that being play-on, if it was Selwood or Ginnivan people wouldn't be crying about it. Cunnington being pinned was probably the truly dodgy one. But it's always funny how people only remember the things they want to. North kicked a goal in the first from a 50/50 call against Weitering. Zurhaar kicked their only goal in the third after fending off Docherty in the face. A few 50/50 frees probably went Carlton's way, but that happens. Wasn't the worst umpired game I've seen by any stretch.

It was basically every neutral poster in the match thread, including posters who don't often comment on umpires.

The umpiring in this game heavily favoured one team and had a big influence on the middle part of the game when Carlton made their run.

Noting that the result was the result anyway, bad kicking is bad football.

Oh was it that one?

 

[Iamspock]

TBH I haven't seen many blatantly wrong decisions, just a lot of 50-50's going Carlton's way.

2016 GF there were quite a few decisions that were just 100% wrong.

Yes, but we rose above it.

 

[Chaisa]

Coniglio decision was way worse than anything here.

I feel like the Zurhaar call was probably at least as bad.

Granted I think a lot of the extremeness of the whinging was probably us getting emotional.

 

[TheBigHorne]

The calling was shit and clearly favoured one team. Twice Carlton players were rewarded for intentionally not picking up the ball and then getting holding calls.

But we didn't help ourselves with our kicking. You shouldn't be losing a game of AFL footy when you get 29 scoring shots.

'Neutral' is a bit disingenuous. It's like saying I'm a neutral in Collingwood or Richmond matches. Everyone wanted North to beat Carlton in that game.

Every season's the same: "Why is the umpiring so bad this year?"

Go back and watch games from 20-30 years ago. There's still as many crap decisions being made, just with no social media. Not implying the umpiring was good today, to be clear.

This is it when it comes to the i50 frees. North just shat their dacks too often.

The Main Board Neutrals... Plugger35 come on down!

This is against the rules now?

 

[DocSholl]

Cunnington getting pinged with no prior after they literally didn't play holding the ball for a half was pretty funny

 

[Chadwiko]

Note the score here, and the fact that NMFC were streaming towards another shot on goal.




Carlton scored a goal down the other end 30 seconds later.

 

[CarnTheScray]

I guess Adelaide/Fitzroy? But that was 3 years before I was born.

So how can you even judge that game if you weren’t there?

 

[shintemaster]

Lol at all the Carlton supporters with their impartial and reasoned takes on what a reasonable job the umpires did.

 

[The 747]

And you know this how?

 

[JyeDye]

And you know this how?

I used my brain.

 

[Chaisa]

Mostly based on what people have spoken about it (also I've seen that last minute).

 

[The 747]

I see.

Worst umpiring Eva

 

[Engimal v3]

Definitely the most one-sided umpiring I've seen live. The Carlton supporters around me were as bemused as the North fans lol
