Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Jack said:
WC supporters seriously need to have a look at themselves.

I mean, why do they always boo and carry on, like somehow it is them that is the hard done by club?

Do they see the stats?

Do they see that they get so many more free than their opponent every week? To the point where it is predeicable.

I seriously dont understand how they seem to feel so hard done by. I seriously don't get it.

You could not have put it better mate. It's like there owed something.
 
Well I thought the game was umpired well to my shock.

LOL West Coast think they should get frees on a cheese platter.

Two games umpired well in a row.Well,well,well.
Keep up the good work.
 
Yep, a well umpired game tonight I thought. Let the game go a bit and had next to no influence on the game, the way it should be. Well done you maggots!
 
On Footy classified last night, they showed that since Mark Evans took over, the free kicks per round has dropped from somewhere around 500, to somewhere around 200. It is dramatic, and it is good.

Since we booted Geisch out of the country, we've had the best umpired round of the last couple of years. It's pretty *smile* simple.

I thought they did pretty ( thats a complimnt by the way!). There was a period n the 3rd q where there were some soft frees to WC and I thought "he we go" but it was ok after that.
 
In the 3rd and early in the last qtr the tried to get west coast back into the game. At one stage they plucked 3 in a row and wet coast still screwed it up.
Bannister is as good as umpire as he was a player, he is shithouse..
 
Agree with views here.

Even though we had less frees ( just for a change ) the standard of ump was good.

As others have said, less tech frees like the end of WC v NM. We just want basic common sence ump, not inconsistent *smile*.

Only dec that got me a bit off was when Cotch was pinged for holding the ball in 4th. That was inconsistent *smile*. But that was all.

Credit where credit is due.

And the White holding the ball, and the sitting on Rances back................
 
Individual free kick count,

Swallow, Thomas and Petrie ( all NM ) are equal 1st in the comp with 24 free kicks received. NM are still the umpires pet.

Yep, massive change and well done Evans. The past couple of weeks the umpiring has been good and the game more enjoyable to watch. the geesh must have instructed the umps to look for frees.

I bet the so called commentary team don't mention the difference as it seems a taboo subject on the TV to mention that the umps are very poor or the rub of the green is going one way all night. Wonder if they hv been asked by the AFL not to mock the maggots..

this has got worse over the years i reckon. the afl must absolutely instruct the ch 7 and fox to be lenient on the umpires.... so many obvious free kicks or incorrect free kicks rarely get a mention on tv comentary these days.

the weren't perfect, because they still got the rub of the green, but the important point is that they had no influence on the game. it should be this way every week.
