    MRP / Trib. Parker cleaning a bloke up in the magoos

    I wouldn't be questioning the awareness of someone good enough to play VFL seniors from behind my computer screen. Terrible take by you.

    Umpires call plus inconclusive evidence equals shambles.

    As well as the long pause when asked where he touched "Where did you touch it, with your forearm, your hand, your fingertips?" "ahhhhhhhhhhhh fingertips" He had no idea how to answer the question

    Umpiring Eleni Glouftsis should not be umpiring AFL

    By that logic Razor Ray should blend in, but he doesn't. If you learn who the Umpires are then you can always tell who's made the call.

    Umpiring Eleni Glouftsis should not be umpiring AFL

    No worse than any of them? Then why doesn't she have a single notable game or award on her resume after umpiring for 17 years? https://aflua.com.au/field-umpires/

    MRP / Trib. De Goey hit on Elijah Hewett

    Shouldn't be any less than 4 weeks, if the AFL wants to stamp this out then they can't just keep giving the same old penalty over and over. Get serious about the penalty or prepare for the same incident to keep occurring.

    The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

    So if the bulldogs don't throw the ball, but all the other teams continue doing it then that's fine? What a bizarre stance

    Umpiring

    I think I'd rather 3 decent Umpires who are fatigued than 3 decent Umpires not fatigued with a fourth who lacks understanding of the game

    The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

    And? Are you saying the team I support needs to give away more free kicks for me to point out that your link to free kick counts is pointless? What kind of logic is that?

    Then you look at the $160,000+ you received for it (plus your day job income) and you figure it's not a bad gig after all.

    You don't think there would be a correlation between why people are leaving a profession and why people wouldn't want to join it? Like you said, think it through.

    Rules Another umpire on the field this year …. God help us all

    I'd hate to think that even currently, if an Umpire hasn't paid a free in a half, they must think they need to pay one soon and pay the first 50/50 they see. Add another Umpire into that and now will we have another person, who if they haven't paid a free in half they will also become trigger...

    Umpiring Eleni Glouftsis should not be umpiring AFL

    Eleni, along with all other Umpires, need to spend some time doing match sim as players. For example, it's so obvious some of them have never tried to kick a ball to someone only to have it come off the side of the boot and go out of bounds unintentionally (ala Cam Zurhaar deliberate after...

    The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

    I wonder if there is any correlation between rarely getting called for holding, blocking, jumping on, chopping players arms and not holding, blocking, jumping on, chopping players arms :think:

    Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

    Cripps couldn't have known who was going to get hands on the ball first before he left the ground. The ball could've gone over Ah Chee, through his hands etc. It was still in contention. The difference with Cameron's is Cameron didn't go for the ball whatsoever. Had eyes on Andrews, arms not in...

    Certified Legendary Thread Patrick Cripps and Ah Chee

    So whenever a player goes back with the flight, everyone else needs to go "hey stand back everyone, he's vulnerable, let's just let him take the mark uncontested." Why isn't the argument here that Ah Chee should've seen a bigger stronger opponent coming toward him, so he should've stayed down...

    His feet went off ground Is a player not allowed to jump for the ball? he hit him in the head That's not on Cripps when he's done everything right to protect himself when fairly winning the ball. Ah Chee on the other hand went back with the flight, lower, and with arms out stretched. Is there...

    The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

    Based on what you've said, a team getting 10 free kicks at half back is more advantaged than a team getting 6 free kicks at full forward. Just to re-iterate (because I think you need it), you said: "Getting a Free Kick is exactly the same as winning a contest." and "Anyone who thinks that...
