EDFL Umpires

[bigpapagman]

Do you guys think umpiring is up to scratch in the EDFL?

[goal sneak]

There are maybe 3 umpires up to scrath in the league. The rest are just boundary umpires who get to go in the middle because of lack of numbers.

[goodie]

it can vary, in the thirds they havent been to bad, the best ones have probably been the greenies though, which is good to see. in the seniors we have usually had one good one and one terrible one. just the luck of the draw i suppose.

i disagree, the umpires on the weekend were fantastic, not in the thirds though, but they were excellent in the seniors for a change.

Is it a coincidence that you think the umpires are excellent the same day that Darnum has a win?

nope, they were also excellent last week in our 100+ point loss to bunyip. This week though they took charge of the game early and were consistant all day in there interpretations, espically the dodgey hands in the back rule. they gave free kicks to both teams when there was a "scuffle" and some one was touched high etc and also took no crap from either teams players with a high number of 50 meter penaltys given away and a couple of 100s too.

[bigpapagman]

seem to have backed off since i got reported again.

[Budda 230]

Yes they have been better.

[bigpapagman]

we had two pretty bad ones in the last game.

[gippslander]

has the retard who got hit by a bus had a finals game?

[bigpapagman]

god i hope not.

[Budda 230]

has the retard who got hit by a bus had a finals game?

Who the hell is that? Addo?

[bigpapagman]

Who the hell is that? Addo?
i believe so, yes.

[goal sneak]

Someone got hit by a bus. WTF? How did he manage that. I wouldn't be calling anyone a retard either. I got yellow carded for calling Kent Kingsley a retard.

[bigpapagman]

well i think your kent comment is spot on.

[Budda 230]

Kent was a very serviceable player at Geelong, is a millionaire and has an extremely hot Mrs so the man deserves greater respect!!:mad: Go Kent!

[bigpapagman]

well. i barrack for richmond. how do you think i feel?

[Budda 230]

well. i barrack for richmond. how do you think i feel?

You should be happy he isn't going to play a game for Richmond ever again!!!

[bigpapagman]

i know. how good is it.

neither is trent knobel.

and ray hall is only playing one more!!!

[Budda 230]

Knobel would have been handy this year if he wasn't injured. Surely a better ruckman than Polak (who has been good in other roles).

[bigpapagman]

handy, yes.

good, no.

[Hoggwash]

Polak is a very good player, would be even better if wallace would let him play one position, i think he plays his best at CHB and should stay there.

[bigpapagman]

loose or accountable?

[Hoggwash]

Wallace loves playing a loose man, always has. Last month or so they have played more attacking footy and look whats happened.

[bigpapagman]

i reckon polak's better forward.

[Budda 230]

I think Polak could be a very talented forward, but for Richmond's structure he needs to play back. I don't see Thursfield or McGuane as long term replacements. Show a bit, but that's it.

Richo does need another tall down there to help out but you have some good developing talls in Hughes, Riewoldt and Shultz (however you spell it).

Considering you pretty much got him for nothing, Polak's recruitment has been a big winner and he wouldn't be too far from coming top 5 in their B+F.

[bigpapagman]

would be AA in a better side.

[Budda 230]

would be AA in a better side.

I wouldn't go that far, but still a good year.

Foley in a better side would be Brownlow favourite almost! I can't believe Geelong passed up such a talented local with their last pick! Clearance master of the league!

[bigpapagman]

kid. can. play.

absolute gun.

[gippslander]

i believe so, yes.
not sure of his name but he is a walking advertisement 4 why u should always wear a dinga

[Hoggwash]

Ya think the umps are bad in this league, what about the bloke on the scoreboard at Neerim on sunday. Surely ya cant get the scores wrong in a final!!

[weLLa]

haha dumb shits.
at the game on saturday a goal umpire had some sort of heart attack thing n stopped breathing and had to be given mouth to mouth till the ambo's come. i heard that they still dont no wat happened.
