Far out Richmond get a huge amount of rope from the umps
They give away a lot too though. Geelong has twice as many. They definitely push the line when it comes to their tall defenders shoving forwards under the ball in marking contests though
 
The over-the-head "handball" and "hand-it-to-the-guy-standing-next-to-me-because-I'm-tackled" stuff that is increasingly creeping into the game is a complete blight upon it.

If a player is able to try and avoid the tackle, that is prior opportunity.

If the player cannot legitimately dispose of the ball, that is incorrect disposal.


A handoff to a team mate next to you does not constitute a handball.

Still only getting pinged at 50-60% of infringement.

It's good business for the tigers as it builds the whole pressure cooker environment.

AFL doesn't care sadly.
Ball keeps moving = Good
Tackle/stoppage/free kick = Bad.

Has all but completely eroded my enjoyment of the game as a neutral supporter and why I generally only watch WCE games now.

Seeing blatant rule breaches not being enforced due to the AFL pressuring umpires to conform to their agenda is a joke.

Its a TV product the AFL markets - what ever looks good.

I agree you are 'technically' correct.
 
That's a free kick if all the others are, I reckon. Not that I agree with that rule, but the interpretation has been clear for some time, and it goes against the ball winner.

It's a shit rule, but call it every time not when you feel like it. Gotta hear how heroic Selwood is tonight and how some no-name is a villain next time.

Drives me nuts that handing it to the bloke next to you. Umps are oblivious
 
Seriously Kents. Get along to the WAFL, even the ammos. Much better football to watch. Purer.

If you like the biff, make the effort to go bush.

The few WAFL games I've caught this season have actually been better spectacles to me as a neutral supporter I do agree.
