I agree. So talented, always right and umpire with empathy and no self-interest or promotion.The umpires do a fantastic job I never see them make mistakes
No umpire should get any awards. They're all f’ed.
What's the actual rule though?To quote myself from the OP... "We have a serious issue with umpiring. In my opinion the standards are at an all time low and they are having too much influence, on too many games, too often."
Geelong should have the points stripped from them, tonight's umpiring what legitimately that bad and one sided.
I would be melting down if I was a Brisbane supporter. I'm almost lost for words.
no still must dispose of it correctlyWhat's the actual rule though?
Isn't something sh*t like there is no such thing as incorrect disposal if you had no prior or something?
Geelong received an armchair ride all throughout that last quarter, and that was before the non decision for incorrect disposal.To quote myself from the OP... "We have a serious issue with umpiring.

Actually, it's even more stupid...HOLDING THE BALL
17.6.1 Spirit and Intention
The Player who has Possession of the Football will be provided an opportunity
to dispose of the football before rewarding an opponent for a Legal Tackle.
17.6.2 Free Kicks - Holding the Ball: Prior Opportunity
(a) Where a Player in Possession of the Football has had Prior Opportunity,
a Free Kick shall be awarded if that Player does not Correctly Dispose of
the football immediately when they are Legally Tackled.
(b) Where a Player in Possession of the Football has not had Prior Opportunity,
the field Umpire shall throw up the football when a Player, in the act of
applying a Legal Tackle, holds the football to the body of the Player
being tackled or the football is otherwise pinned to the ground.
So I guess the question is whether he had prior or not.

So would I, their first half was very ordinary, in fact it cost them the game!To quote myself from the OP... "We have a serious issue with umpiring. In my opinion the standards are at an all time low and they are having too much influence, on too many games, too often."

Sees Bailey coming, spins to try to evade the tackle, gets caught red hot and illegally disposes of the ball.
Plain as day.
Can anyone imagine a free NOT being paid at any other stage of the game.
The umpire chocked
Mis - fielded by Lachie Neale on the boundary who simply had a rotten night. Look, the free kick was there, but Brisbane were shithouse for the first 3QTRs...Nice deflection.
Leg glance off the pads and down to the boundary .
but Brisbane were shithouse for the first 3QTRs...
And Geelong have never copped a bad decision ever? Yes, it was a crook decision, but cost the game? Nope. It might not have been a bad idea for Brisbane to have played better in the first half and Lachie Neale to get a kick!I hate this argument, yeah they could have played better early or geelong had a bad decision go against them in the first quarter blah blah blah.
The thing is, when the umpires fu** up in the first quarter or even 5 minutes into the last, both teams have time to play around that, when it happens in the last minute or two...especially where a sh*t decision costs a team a goal, they dont have time to overcome it.
Tonight, 95 times out of 100, Bris kick the goal from that free kick and win the game.
That one umpiring decision changed the result of tonights game and its not good enough - it was a TERRIBLE decision.
If there was a review system, that decision gets overturned every day of the week.
