Umpiring

[Livonski]

Laughable, blokes get practically tackled on line and nothing gets paid, but for some reason during Richmond game they love to pluck something out of obscurity that is not consistent to how every other game gets umpired.

Look at the 50 against Bolton in the 1st when he was tackled and the ball was left on the ground, you could go through over 100 times the exact same thing has happened this season but no 50 is paid.

Correct. Technically the free is there so no point arguing against that. But as you say they just don’t get paid in our favour.
How was the dropping the ball against Draper then Dusty kicks the *goal?
MRJ tackled one on the wing, dropped it cold…nuthin.
That’s my beef as well. We just don’t get them.

And that goal from dusty that supposedly hit the post ,,,,why NO snicker meter ,, always used against us ,,remember v lions QF shais best point of all time ,,,only the snick meter overturned it , we were coming too

Today the umpires calls are it’s a goal but check to see , that’s a huge difference because the default is umpires call, last night it was it’s a point and let’s see

BT starting to blow up - this game will end up with ~65 free kicks and the majority of them have been woeful.

 

[Roksman]

Hawthorn vs Brisbane.

63 free kicks.

AFL directive to pay non existent free kicks to increase scoring.

Game is broken and unrecognisable.

I don't know how people still pay money to attend - make change - stop going.

No surprises. Nothing has really been spoken about with the dangerous tackle last night. Of course it is brushed under the carpet.

Was mentioned on the Sunday footy show I’m pretty sure, none said anything was wrong with the tackle

Not at all. Robbo dropping truth bombs.

Every time I see one of these posts, I'm like a proud Dad.

The movement is growing! Time to get our sport back, people power!

Boycott the games! The "I don't want to hurt my club" argument is fake - the clubs will be fine.

Feel sorry for the umps. Each week they are told to officiate a rule differently, they must be as confused as we are. On a hiding to nothing thanks to the clowns at afl house

 

[caddyshack]

63 free kicks.

That's dangerously close to a free kick being paid every minute. Unbelievable.
The game might as well be renamed to whistleball.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Still can't understand who snick wasn't used, no deviation of the ball or movement of the post, if there was no snick then it's a goal, yet they dont use it?

They didn't use it because it didn't indicate the ball hit the post .... they didn't want to overturn the umpire, campaigners

 

[Roksman]

No words...

When you are given bullshit extra rules for no reason you are gonna give bullshit frees becouse
You have too many rules to worry about.

 

[energyquant]

The over-officiating is out of control.

How long before an AFL team decides to start conceding professional fouls? Make a hard tackle, bury the opposition player on the ground with the ball underneath him and chew up 10 seconds to let your defence get set. If you are a kick and a half from goal and can't get a clear stoppage win then it may be the best play. It would be ugly, but if it wins a game of football then will somebody start to coach it?

The footy public need to send a message about the umpiring: Make Afl Great Or Terminate

Otherwise known as MAGOT.

It’s always goal umpires call ,,,,then he engages field umpire and says pls check

 

[Karp3_dm]

At least David King on First Crack hammered the umpires and the powers above
Pleading for changes and to get our game back
Said the fans are speaking with their feet

They simply have to do something otherwise this game is gone

 

[tigersnag]

At least David King had a crack at the umps and the AFL on First Crack.

He said the fans aren't happy and are starting to vote with their feet. Something needs to give.

But the AFL CEO is an absolute disaster and won't do a thing the weak as piss polo player. Bloke has f>>ed the game.

Is the AFL the worst run sporting body in the world or what? FMD even full on corrupt ones like FIFA have their shit more together than these gooses.

Classic, I just typed nearly the same thing.

Agree but the goal umpires first call is the default , today they were I think it’s a goal but check , if there is no conclusive it’s a goal, last night he said I think it’s a point , if he said I think it’s a goal and there was no conclusive as there was that us a major difference.
