What about that bullsh!te last week when he marked after using his midriff to hold position. Whistle, free kick, in the back.

Giesh during the week admitted the Umpire got that call WRONG!!

Then I hear that "rules of the game" crap on SEN today saying you can use your body. Well yer der, always been ligit until that utter rubbish last week.

Anyway, we are Richmond we don't need anything from the maggots!!!

Was pushed to the ground after taking a chest mark at half forward, no 50. I'm convinced he really is governed by a different set of rules.

Who else could get suspended after the MRP's gone home for the night?
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

terrible umpiring against push up, been going on a while now.

how that mark wasnt paid ill never know and then he gets tripped.

gets high tackles all the time and never gets a free ( well except against hawks in first quarter and he goaled)

terrible umpiring

terrible umpiring

Once again i will point out that the useless commentators dont say anything about it either - pathetic
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

I don't know what Jake King did but it's time the umpire got over it, perhaps the club could pay for counselling
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Leysy never complains about the umpiring, least not after the game.

But what Pushup cops is quite amazing, where he ran back with the flight & took all ball no man yet had a free was staggering.

He definately gets umpired on rep more than any other.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Gee he is an important part of our make up. Great little worker.

Agree. He wanted to give the umpire a mouthful and rightly so.

It's bleeding obvious that someone needs to make serious enquiries as to why the umpires hate jake king so much? It's getting out of control ! They just crucify him endlessly

had a gutful. the club needs to get on the front foot with this... don't just complain to the geish, but it might be worth a $5000 fine to bring it to the attention of the greater footy world
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

I agree with the above posts.
Maybe a media mate Mick Warner/Caro? could do an article and highlight the inept, biased decisions going against Jake.
Or a complaint to the Anti Discrimination Tribunal, Fair Work Australia and the U.N. Equal Rights Commission may bring these fellows to heel.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Anyone any good at compiling video footage? Put all this years bad umpire calls against Jake into a YouTube clip. I'm sure PRE can make sure it gets a million hits. Those kind of numbers would make the AFL take notice.

Bloody good idea Rob. And send it to the afl and Umpires Dept.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

I'm not surprised anymore about the way Umpires view Jake King. I start to see their point of view with him. It is not bias or hatred, its theatre.

Jake is one of the few remaining breaths of fresh air in our game, a showman of the highest calibre. Jake gets everyone involved to a higher level and the umpires react accordingly.

Like a goal umpire delaying the signal of a disputed goal for an extra moment to build excitement, field umpires ping Jake on instinct now for the immense reaction it gives 'the show'.

This is BS

We're not at the bloody theatre.
 
Re: Jake King (Merged)

Wonder if the MRP will do him for that trip by foot in I think the second quarter. Wouldn't be concerned if it was anyone else.

They might get him for that head clash with Jones :P Wouldn't surprise me
