Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
5 to 6 holding the ball frees we weren’t paid that were obvious.
Umpires were fighting hard for respect over the years. They have zero credibility. No wonder people don’t want to umpire when you are not instructed to pay the basic frees.

Donlon is a pathetic umpire. Wouldn’t pay holding the balls decisions as well.

Club needs to formally complain after that & go for the umpires in the media. Take the fines - call the incompetence for what it is.
11 frees to 20. They were the better side, traditionally the better side gets more frees, except for when Richmond were the better side.
They really sucked today the umps, they can get stuffed.

I was at the ground today and I have no idea how the holding the ball is adjudicated, zero …nfi
Can someone tell me that if you have prior opportunity and then get tackled and then have an opportunity to get rid of the ball, what is the purpose of prior opportunity?

And it’s why we need to complain - formally and via the media. It’s a disgrace.
I'd be happy for them to add $1 to every membership and cop $100,000 worth of fines in 1 week. It's beyond a joke now. Last three weeks 11,12,11 frees for
The media spoke about this week, and the conclusion is that the umpires simply don’t know.
It won’t be just a fine. They’ll threaten to suspend or deregister whoever does it, and we’ll wind up having to formally apologise for doing it in the first place. The AFL has us and every other club by the balls on this issue.
Ah we’ll, if the clubs all good with it then what can we do? As I’ve said multiple times members will simply stop turning up if they feel like we’re not getting umpired fairly game after game. It’s already started happening from my circle of friends.
How the *smile* can every teams average fees against all of a sudden go down when they play us? No other way to explain but to say it’s blatant cheating.
We are not getting the frees all other teams are getting!!!

What a farce. The AFL has completely *smile* up that rule.
Basically what happened today was that Freo knew they had a massive advantage around the stoppages because we have so many out. So they just took tackle after tackle and then won the clearance. Players don’t even have to try and get rid of it now. It’s pretty ugly footy imo
The AFL have messed about with so many rules and opened nearly everything up to interpretation. What they’ve done is made the game unumpireable.
