Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

[frickenel]

So Nank has even copped a fine for an incident you'd see 100 times a weekend.

It's not just the free kick count. It's things like the Mansel suspension last year, it's the oh so obvious rule changes attempting to stop our dominance, and if that's not enough, it's the rediculous draw our club has after one poor season. We are a massive drawing club, but we've been thrown out of prime time. Were Collingwood thrown out of prime time when Nathan Buckley had them playing that putrid backwards nil all draw football?

The heads of the AFL want to draw big crowds, but they want to kill Richmond off even more than their desire for crowds. Thanks for the putrid late Sunday time slots this year you flogs!

No GWS?

Oops. Fixed now.
I had slightly different numbers than DavidSSS - GWS 77 games, 1446 for, 1471 against, -25 differential

they must have the most colossal firewall the world has ever seen on that email address?

a 10 foot thick silicon/asbestos weave that all the little nano 0's and 1's need to get through.

Wouldn’t bother with emailing them. They’d just save the emails for their spank bank

GWS have done fairly badly on fee kicks, so let's look at their home record:

Games: 75
Frees For: 1,399
Frees Against: 1,412

Quick calculation in my head but I'm generally pretty good.

So, even GWS received 13 more frees than their opposition at home.

UUUMMMMMM. Am I reading something wrong here?

 

[Quickdraw]

would have thought that a 13-23 free kick tally, at home, against an interstate team, would be a bit of an outlier?

Great work Larabee!

I explained this to Mrs. Quickdraw. Sadly, she's a naive Crows supporter, but even she was shocked at not only how far back Richmond are on this table, but that the feeling in the Adelaide home crowd is not supported by the stats.

Poor deluded souls think they get a hard time from the muppets

UUUMMMMMM. Am I reading something wrong here?

Not just you TM

 

[Quickdraw]

And leaving the current drug saga aside for a moment, the AFL should do I.Q. tests of these muppets. Yes we all know their age is higher than their I.Q.

And seriously, they should do a thorough psychometric testing process to weed out the sociopaths, the Figjams, the ditherers etc.

We need Jeff Crouch, Peter Sheales, etc. These blokes bounced the ball all over the ground, and pretty consistently. Current day clowns have everything going for them and still can't do the job.

F Off the lot.

One of the Crows home games where they got a free ride was, lo and behold, against us in 2022. One of the most corrupt, biased umpiring displays I’ve ever seen and we have quite a few to choose from, including last Sundays horrendous display.

on that note just flood them with ' virile performance' spam

was that the 19-1 second half freekick tally?

It might have been.

just a cheeky -20 free kick differential that day. 13-33

 

[HKTigerB]

They have just put an umpire back in charge. Finally. One small step in the right direction.

That’s next level cheating.

Great to have someone that has been out there overseeing the umpires. But I have memories of McBurney being another Richmond hating maggot. I guess that wouldn't be hard given how many of them there have been.

I think thats the 1st question asked at AFL House. What are your thoughts on Richmond? If they don't start with some level of hatred and lead into a rant, a big red cross goes against their names, next.

Where did this come from?

If these stats are true, this has to be a smoking gun that something is not right. That can't even be a statistical anomoly, it is just way too out compared to every other team

Heads will roll for sure. Someone has to be accountable for us getting nearly 1450 free kicks.
