Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!
- Thread starter iLoVeNeWmAn
- Start date
Him and his team are the biggest stagers, throwers and cheats in the AFL bar none.
surely Selwood has the highest free kick differential in history?
its quite incredible.
I reckon he hypnotises the ump.
further, the Stewart standing Dustys mark was farcical.
"come back tom (1), 1 meter back tom (2), a metres back tom (3), pleeeeeease Mr.Stewart, half a metre? (4), oh c'mon Thomas, be reasonable (5)
Dusty is as astonished and demonstrative as we are. He's totally perplexed, because it was totally perplexing.

to be fair,
the only howlers I saw last night were a couple of missed frees against Selwood (its perfectly understood he is allowed to slide in below the knees, which is a *smile* rule anyway, so this was adjudicated fairly and consistently)
and the Tom Stewarts oppositional defiance syndrome or complete umpire deafness, going unpenalised.
I think this differential is anomolous
in being because we were really tired and *smile* and gave away heaps of frees.

There were stats released on this a couple of years ago. He does in the last decade or so by quite a distance
The Selwood rule was really effective wasn't it? Well done again AFL.
I don't blame him, players will do whatever they can get away with.

Don't care how many free kicks we give away, if they're there pay the free n move on. What *smile* me is the fact that we rarely receive free kicks for opposition offences that are virtually identical to our offences that are always called.
It's a rare event that opposition sides succumb to the free kick count against us. Surely not all sides execute the skills of the game perfectly within the rules every time they play against us.
Yeah that was throwing the ball, not HTB, it was the correct decision.
You can drop the ball without prior, but when you go to handball, you can’t let it scoop upwards out of your hand while being tackled or it’s a throw
I loved Dusty's look of total disdain and disbelief during the Stewart on the mark debacle. Unlike Selwood, (and W Carey), only does it when its a shocker decision.
i would have to re-read your posts, which im not really that invested in this debate to do, but I am pretty sure you said you couldnt get done for incorrect disposal if you try to dispose of it if you have no prior.
if that was paid a throw, it was the only 1 paid last night, while Selwood did 2 blatant throws, and a couple of his attempted Shane Edwards handballs where he actually throws the ball.
Not sure how that's different in principle to Easton Wood trying to kick and failing, but anyway. They were the least of our problems last night.
