State of umpiring

[amaz199]

This game is ****ed.

 

[TruRoos7]

It’s like Kane went straight to Chatgpt and found a version that offered to do the same for less money and she opted to use that one for the explanation instead

 

[Epictetus]

Kane has caused more damage with her ludicrous explanation than the stupid decision itself.

She's copping it from everywhere and fair enough

I will write the response below ;

" Unfortunately, in this instance and in the chaos of such a fast paced and exciting finish, the umpire gave the Collingwood players too much latitude in their assumption that Bailey Scott had played on. We understand how he came to this view and why the Collingwood players made this assumption, but it was incorrect to not award a 50 metre penalty in this particular situation"

That's it. People are shitty, but everyone gets on with it. All part of the game. We got lucky last week and we will be again.

But instead, an incorrect decision has become a story in which the AFL and Laura Kane lack humility and worse - think too poorly of their stakeholders to simply be honest and open.

She is either not very bright or thinks he's brighter than everyone else. Not sure which is worse.

Exactly, admit the error! It's basic PR training - admit fault/error, say what you're going to do about it, apologise, work to ensure it doesn't happen again. It still stinks for us, but it at least has integrity.

PR training has changed over the last decade or so. Look at what politicians and corporations trot out now compared to 25 years ago, now it is change the narrative and ride it out.

But they don’t want to be criticised or have their maggots criticised for their actions, so don’t admit fault to begin with.

Yep double if not triple down and ride the wave, it will be gone from the back page of the media within a week, because some other issue will arise.

It doesn't really matter. Umpire ****ed up like McDonald ****ed up for not being able to hold a football in his hands.

The AFL response is the issue. Don't get it twisted.

 

[hellas_johnny]

So where is the explanation on the 2 throws, plus daicos drop and also the front on push on ford that nearly bowled zurhaar over.

Someone said on fb north had way more of the ball yet the free kick count was nowhere near reflective of it. How can that be? How can a club only get 2 free kicks an entire 2nd half when you have that much of the ball it's unheard of. I know they won't do it but the club should come out against the afl. We've been getting shat on enough as it is the last 4 years let alone letting these pricks get away with straight up corruption

 

[The Butcher]

Sorry havent read the thread. The pies players ignored the whistle for Scotts mark coz they'd been allowed to do it from the 1st qtr. Sheez got a holding the ball call in our F50 in the first and they played on with no consequence. They did it multiple times after that, with no call. Its like theres a team order to act dumb to the whistle. Who would create such a rule, unless they knew they'd get away with it. There were at least 3 50's we were robbed from getting. Scotts was the last. We had better of sent a please explain to everyone. "Reporters" may have lost the nerve to call bullshit, but I'd hope NMFC have not.

Are these not the afl rules? ****ing idiots in afl house I swear to god

It’s like Kane went straight to Chatgpt and found a version that offered to do the same for less money and she opted to use that one for the explanation instead

I went to ChatGPT and asked it to write about Laura Kane’s contribution to the AFL and all it returned was this picture

I just ran a workshop on the dangers of using AI today, and could not agree more.
Rubbish in, rubbish out. And it’s almost always rubbish if you don’t review it.

The players were confused, that is what we are concentrating on.
You what????

It’s in Laura Kanes best interest for the 50 not to be paid as it meant Collingwood got the win, more likely to play finals, which means more ratings / attendances etc. so of course she’d be over the moon and not give a shit about the sub par answer given to the AFL public.

And no mention about the Bailey Scott

touched goal ‘review’ that seemingly got glossed over / forgotten

 

[Ruckle]

I will bet body parts next week a North player will be on the mark, Melbourne player will fake play on, North player takes a step and it will be called 50m as umpire has not called play on. And that will be correct..........

 

[Mute Point]

So she's saying Scott played on.
Does she understand momentum?
Is it a new rule that players must stop there on the spot once they mark the ball no matter how fast they ran to mark the ball otherwise it will be called play on??
Interesting times
