Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Fair enough for a 50 against LYNCH
But where was the 50 to Tarranto for excalty the same incident?

Where was the 4 dkheads when Port were doing Billy Slaters?

We need to show photos to the fkheads to prove we have Backs

Been more than happy to bag out the maggots over the years and even now as they are pitifully incompetent and inconsistent in how they adjudicate the game. But.

Dimma, Mini and now Ouzo that's three coaches over the last two years, but we've been getting reamed by the maggots for six or seven years.
Maybe, just maybe it's time someone somewhere pulled our players up and forced them to comprehend and abide by the way the game is adjudicated these last few years. Our style of football and stupid petulant behaviour makes it extremely easy for the maggots to bend us over and butt *smile* us game after game after game. We give up 50 metre penalties and free kicks to the opposition as if we were some kind of soup kitchen, there's handouts everywhere for the umpires n oppo to feed on and it constantly destroys any momentum we half look like getting during games. We might have been able to play through this crap n still succeed when we had a mass of talent and a game style no-one else could match, but now it just makes us easy meat game after game.

Most 50s against are pedantic ones and the main problem are the frees we DON'T get that are *smile* obvious.

Even the goal umpire(s) was *smile* today. Those two reviews were ridiculous, 1 was inside the post by about a metre. Then they failed to review the touched goal.

And the umpire bouncing the footy should be sacked. How many times he bounced it clean out of the centre circle and just let it go.

13 -23 not a true reflection of the frees.

For example, Melee took a mark around half forward and then got crunched. Should have been a mark and 50m but no, maggot calls a free. So we get a free paid when the bloke has already marked the bloody thing?

They have no idea anymore.
I am pretty sure is count is wrong. Watch the game and count them yoursel.

Yah I'll chip in. I usually stay away from bagging umps. This was an ALL TIMER. Not placing whoever the *smile* it was on his correct angle finally put me over thee edge. Seriously has anyone ever seen that before? I cant recall one. The ump 40m away having to run in to adjudicate for us. Seriously.
Throws. Jeez I hate throws. A number of head highs they just let run. The OTT in the back frees. This isnt about us. Its about the game.

Time and again today we set ourselves up to be reamed by the umpires through stupid , mindless and petulant acts that has to be stamped out in our game style before it gets worse. However, what got me was the number of frees we should have got but didn't if we were being umpired to the same standard as the Power. Maybe the opposing teams are better actors

I am trying to figure out the worst decision-
Pickett clearly grabbed over the shoulder early- play on.
Lynch getting crunched into in a mark contest early- play on.
The 30 throws Port got away with- probably my favourite was when the Port player threw it in the air then tapped it to a teammate. Play on.
The non 50 to Mansell.
The Port player who threw the ball back to the wrong player after we got a free- and it didnt make the distance. Should be 2 50s- maybe they cancelled each other out?
The Dixon free at the end. I actually turned the game off after that.

But i think my favourite was the Port player who had possession and went for the clear fend off near the boundary line, got tackled, then grabbed the tackler in a headlock. Ball up.

Corruption at its finest.
I‘m just about done with this “sports entertainment“. I’m done with our club not having the balls to represent their members and call out the *smile* umpires and their puppet masters.
Enough is enough!!!
Hear hear Willo. It's so depressing. I've had enough, I'm sure the players have too.

It influences games.

Donlon is a dead set cheating *smile*. They are all cheating twerps.

Were plenty more. I haven’t been vocal like that for a long time.

I’m still dealing the ARC call. How the *smile* wasn’t that called touched? The vision was clear from what I saw.

Funnily enough, Gold Coast has received the most frees so far this year. Dimmas game plan must be ok if you don’t wear a Richmond jumper

True. But we make it blatantly easy for the maggots to bend us over time and again with pedantic stupidity because we keep coming up with the pedantic stupidity week after week after week. We're not good enough or tough enough these days to be able to ignore or play through this crap n still come out on top. Maggots n oppo sides can just sit back n wait for us to butt *smile* ourselves with this constant stupidity.

I laughed when the Port mid threw the ball after a ball up with the dumb moronic flog standing front on just 5 metres away.
They got a goal from that. Donlon (Umpire *smile* No.1) was standing watching. I expect them to allow throws now, its clearly condoned.

The AFL has gone to 4 umpires so no frees are missed but what we see is umpires who don’t know the rules, are incapable of making decisions and are totally inconsistent in their interpretation of the rules
