It was the Baker non-call for high contact in front of goal with only a few minutes to go that would have sealed the game that really really killed me. I was expecting a loss after that but we fortunately held on. Any other team gets that for a definitive result - but (repeatedly) not us. The stats above are beyond randomness, game style (everyone playing an aggressive unsocial press), or simple belief. It’s getting really ****ing hard to sit and watch games when you know you’re already being shafted - and you know more is coming.

Special mention to the crow defender that hand balled to himself in front of goal......with a flat hand. Ummm last time I checked that is called a throw. Commentators called in clever and the umps called it play on . So many levels of dumb .

Collective bull sheet and a disgraceful dumbing down of our once great game...all the greats are crying!

Nah. We got royally shafted last night, but not on that one. Great bit of footy we should all celebrate - just like Higgins Goal of the year in 2018.

 

[Maybenextyear]

Higgins followed through with a kick . No rule about ball drop. A hand ball is a clenched fist not an open hand . That flick pass / throw was 100% wrong .

Breaking
Brendan Gale in one of his last gasp efforts as Richmond CEO, has hired these 9 men to interrogate the AFL
on why we always finish last on the free kick count.....

Has told Senior Sgt. Frank Banner and co to use force if necessary.

and the Eagles royally ****ed by the umps today with that ridiculous holding the ball call that gave the Roos the lead.

Punishing the player who wins the ball is stupid.

A couple of controversial umpiring decisions in the media this morning.
The Eliot Yeo holding the ball and the Mac Andrews holding on whichever King twin plays for aSaints.

I watched the Suns - Saints and it really brought home that in a close low-scoring game the umpires have a huge influence over the result. Not just that particular incident which was at least 50m off the ball, but toss a coin over so many whistle or non-whistle calls in forward 50s gifting or not gifting scoring shots.
Whole game was decided through pure luck of umpiring calls.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

And where is the replay of both controversial umpire free kick bias decisions?!?

With our Ark footage of Lynch's goal and all other evidence of corruption

If I am being honest whilst the new HTB rule is a bit hit and miss in terms of the umpires interpretation however I do think it actually helps us as a younger developing team.

I noticed that where previously our younger players tackled a player he would with superior strength simply wrestle until eventually freeing their arms allowing a handball which then caught us on transition. Now the umpires don't allow the tackled player that extra time to free their arms, maybe just my imagination but from what I am seeing I do think for once a rule change might just be assisting us a little in this instance.

 

[SunshineBoy]

There's a theory, set out in Anson Cameron's book on Neil Balme, that all this anti Richmond bias can be sheeted home squarely to Balme himself. And Cameron was told this by Dimma during the course of researching material for the book.

At the start of each season, the umpires come to every Club to give the players and coaches an overview of what to expect of the coming year. It's all sweetness and light with courtesy and politeness all round. There's plunger coffee and donuts and then Hayden Kennedy steps up to deliver his address. To everyone's surprise, Balme, who had only recently returned to Richmond, gets to his feet and tears into the umpires, berating them for their incompetence and accusing them of being the cause of the horrendous current state of the game. He tore into them for about 20 minutes and the umpires just sat there shell shocked. And ever since Richmond have been last in free kicks.

If they can’t handle the truth they shouldn’t be in the kitchen

 

[SunshineBoy]

I will try to have a look later at whether Neil Blame's fiery temper affected Colling, Geelong and Melbourne similarly when he was employed at those clubs. That will be interesting.

Scats and shitpies were blown when he was there, so that theory is bunkum, it was free kick collingwood when he was there

 

[All Aust]

I reckon they umpire Vlas differently.
Kmac got his first free for the year.
Because we got some frees we usually don’t get the umpires panicked had to invent new ones for the Crows. They lost the plot

Vlas went through a phase where he was milking frees. He now gets the "Ginnivan" treatment.
Indication that the fluoros do operate as sour vindictive sooks independent of the CFL. Deliver
Maasssive dumps on the comp using players to wipe the residues. Then, cry foul in the media ..... The players shouldn't question decisions etc.

 

[Area51]

You can't publicly criticize umpires. What a bunch of limp campaigners. What other public role is not subject to critique?

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Royalty...

 

[tropicaltiger]

they should make all the umpires go down the slide tomorrow with a gimp masks on - naked

 

[Grin]

The thing that really concerns me, even more than the very obvious bias, is that Richmond player's heads aren't protected. Opposition players know the they can barrel into Richmonds players heads or try to rip them off, and it'll be play on.
As a parent, I'd be very concerned if my child were recruited by Richmond because CTE is apparently a giggle when it comes to Richmond. Injuring the head of a Richmond player is deliberately rewarded.

they had this in 2004 but didnt have anything for farc gate in 2022 and still dont have anything like it

And the slide should be a 40ft razor blade & they use there balls for brakes

 

[Noidnadroj]

Wouldn’t you just love to get hold of individual umpire free kicks paid for and against? I reckon it would show some of these umpires operate at a 5:1 ratio against us.

Richmond were not supposed to be good. The rest of the footy world felt far less anxiety when Richmond were crap for 35-years. Umpires barrack for teams as well you know, and no matter how bad their team was, they always had the ‘at least I don’t barrack for Richmond’ up their sleeve … until 2017.

It’s human nature to try and correct the things that make us feel anxiety and uncomfortable … Richmond being successful one of those emotions. It’s both subconscious and deliberate bias.

I ran the free kicks in finals last year and we run at 50/50 in finals. That’s because it’s the best umpires under the fiercest spotlight who know poor calls will be highlighted and there’s nowhere to hide.

So 50/50 in a dozen finals …. royally screwed in 8-years of H&A …. I mean, really ..??

Surprised James Hird didn't mention you could make that goal cam perform better by taking it off site and getting one of his friends to go to work on it...
