    Conspiracy theory: umpire collusion

    Anyone remember Couzo's comeback match in 07. Picked up 30+ possies and played a game that inspired the rest of the team to victory. The commentators couldn't believe how well he played and talked it up like noones business. Umps didn't think much of his performance though as he didn't rate a...

    Merged: Maxwell and that bump

    Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw I liked the way a couple of minutes after taking out a 19 yr old rookie with his head over the ball he had an opportunity to do the same to Lynch but opted to sidestep Lynch instead. He also seems to like the old chicken wing elbow to players running...

    Umpires should stop acting like school teachers

    The best umpire is the one you don't see or hear.:thumbsu: If they would do what they are paid to do, umpire, all you would hear is a whistle blow and either "Give it to me" or "Bulldogs Free to no.7" not a bloody explanation as to why the free kick was paid and how the players should have done...

    Mac attack at the 'G

    Vosso should be in and Maclaren should be on the pine. What is it the decision makers see in Maclaren that most, IMO, footy fans don't and vice versa. Vosso was one of the more even/fair umps for the year wheras F1 was all over the place.:confused:

    West Coasters Should Be Angry

    Don't forget the the throw in the Eagles forward square in the first quarter, oh and the smack to Cox's head in the ruck contest on the wing, yeah that's right the Buckley deliberate out of bounds. Will admit we had a few ourselves and we had the game won but once again we failed to deliver the...

    Disgraceful Umpiring

    Corey Jones alter ego? C'mon I'm a one eyed Eagle and only think of our players even when referring to others:D

    Disgraceful Umpiring

    Crap, disgraceful and even to a point cheating, that was my view on that weak attempt at umpiring on Sunday. Can't touch Ablett and can't touch the ball, hard way to win a game. Chad Jones holding the ball typified the one eyed , Cat's have to win, mentallity yesterday. I think Geelong were good...

    Has the standard of umpiring gotten worse in 2007?

    Not worse just more inconsistant. You can't really blame the ump's for inept, pathetic weak rules changes, that's the AFL board that brought unnecessary changes into the umpiring rules. What the umpires are responsible for is the standard of consistancy during games and this year has been about...

    sydney swans umpiring

    What I am trying to point out is that it seems as though when the Swans play, and this in no part a dig at or blame of, the games are umpired in different halves or qtrs. What you were able to do and get away with in the first qtr is suddenly a free kick when the game is up for grabs in the last...

    Are North supporters the sorest losers in the AFL?

    You win and you were favoured by the umps. You lose and you were ripped off by the umps. Hey umps you can favour us anytime you want. As for Nth supporters being sore losers, I work with and am friends with a few of them and wouldn't have thought of them as sore losers. But going off how much...

    sydney swans umpiring

    Sydney Swans are the most protected AFL side by the ump's and that even includes Collingwood. Barry Hall is the only player who can be tackled 3 times in the same contest, turn 720 degrees and be called "play on" except for maybe Goodes. Whenever people people jump on and say they were ripped...

    The Eagles won today because of a extended period of shocking umpiring.

    One team get's 10 free kicks 8 of which are in their forward 50 and they convert 5 goals. The other team gets 20 free kicks 10 in defence 5 on the wing and 5 in the centre of the ground. I think I'd rather the 8 in the forward line. This is a scenario that is not to far from the truth...

    The Eagles won today because of a extended period of shocking umpiring.

    MMmmm a game that was badly umpired, what a surprise:rolleyes: Yes there were bad decisions, both ways, and the Roo's probably got the worse of them but it didn't determine the result. I will admit that umpires can cost teams a game and it has probably happened 3-4 times this year but not this...

    Has Goldspink, Chamberlain and McBurney ever umpired together in the same game?

    My guess is it will be rnd 22 Eagles vs Essendon. I'm gonna be there so chances are....

    RESPECT in Aussie Rules

    This disrespect comes mainly from two things. 1- The umpires are untouchable on and off the field. People can say anything about the players they want including calling them druggies, cheats and paedophiles and get away with it:confused:. You say anything about an umpire, no matter how true and...

    Is Ray Chamberlain the biggest Tool in the AFL?

    Mmmm interesting avatar :D

    Is Ray Chamberlain the biggest Tool in the AFL?

    First time I saw him I thought " Whats Frodo doing umpiring footy " but upon reflection I think Frodo would do a better job. As many people have already pointed out, the umpires are out there to umpire the game. NOT - chit chat with players about what they can and can't do, that's basically...

    Do we have the worst standard of umpiring?

    The reason we have such inconsistant bad umpiring is because of the rules. There is no black and white, it is all grey area. The decisions are base solely on that umpires interpretation of an incident at that time. So long as rules are opened to interpretation we will never have a clear cut...
