Be a good idea for us to send a video of the Saints and Eagles game to the umps to show how many times Zak Jones is holding Tim Kelly
Turned it off not long after that.Umpires woeful, we got reamed, nothing new, just gotta deal with it at Adelaide or Perth. But what underlined it for me, dusty in the centre, half took possession, ball spills, HTB free against. Soon after, rozee in their fwd line, exactly the same, free for HTM.
Holding the ball rule has to change. If you dont dispose of it properly after being tackled it has to be holding the ball. It doesnt matter if it got knocked out, it slipped, you dropped it, missed your foot or hand. It has to be holding the ball.
So easy to adjudicate this one.
I also want to know how three Swans players get nominated for the RS three weeks in a row.I'm not into conspiracy theories (let's not mention the 9/11 thread ) but I would hope questions are asked when an Ump pays frees only to one side over 4 quarters of football. Just statistically that seems to invite scrutiny. On Sydney; they haven't been traditional darlings, they have been close (relatively) to us for frees against over the last 5 years IIRC.
I assume Brad Johnson is still on the nominations committee? You know the bloke who openly admits he doesn’t actually watch all of the games?I also want to know how three Swans players get nominated for the RS three weeks in a row.
AFL will never acknowledge that, so they’ll keep messing around with the rules to try and fix non existent problems. Which actually makes the umpires job even more difficult.It's not the game that needs fixing, it's the f*cking umpiring!!!!
Three times as many maggots crawling all over the game but they can't find half the free kicks that one maggot used to find. *smile* mental midgets can sure as hell shout instructions, prance n waggle like never before though.I've said it before and I'll say it again: when one of your KPIs is to reduce the number of free kicks per game then there is no choice but to only pay some free kicks.
The umpiring is a joke.
