Mixture. She's genuinely bad which is largely due to being fast tracked into the league, so its not all her fault. But she also stands out more because she is female, while some other umpires can just blend into one another.

Also this.

I believe there was some provision where a one-week suspension in the AFL was deemed 0.5 weeks in relation to this rule. However that's only a vague recollection.

I think it ends up being two, wouldn't be surprised if it's +/- one week either.

They really need a 15m or 25m alternative, 50m is just too big a punishment in most cases.

You're missing a lot of things. Four weeks.

Say what you will about the precedents this year, but the fact that Buddy can play this week after that action says there's something seriously wrong.

Steve Hocking literally been made Geelong CEO. Ill get the popcorn!

The tackle I assume. https://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/900694/langford-charged-by-mro

He was fined.

If Merrett got a week for his swinging arm, Lynch has to as well.

Only 10 minutes have passed and this post hasn't aged well.

Nathan Williamson is by far the worst. Will not accept any other suggestions.

Nathan Williamson (umpire #22) is perhaps the worst umpire currently getting regular games. I'm tempted to do a montage of just how s**t he has been over the past 6 weeks.

If people genuinely think only Essendon supporters would've reacted to the ASADA s**t the way they/we did need only read this thread.

Ahh well, will only cost him a couple of games and a Brownlow. No biggie.

Why does the end result matter? Surely it's the action that should be punished.

Look, I think the guilty verdict is bullshit, but at the same time, how do they then only classify it as medium. He's either clear or it's high/sever impact.

How about a video that shows just how soft an unavoidable it was as opposed to a screenshot.

Elected to bump and made contact to the head. Those are the rules, doesn't matter if the bump is implemented with your head or shoulder.

They have Hawthorn and Essendon next too. Really bad time for Freo to lose him.

Basically, if you know who they are, chances are they are s**t.

"Please not Nicholls, please not Nicholls." *Opens thread* "Ahh *."

This is one of the most illogical posts I've seen. So two people could do the exact same action with the exact same force on two different players, but one could get suspended because the player he bumped had a higher propensity to get injured? The actions should be judged on the act...

If he's been convicted three separate times for three separate incidents, I'd say the chances are he's a murderer.

Wait, he did it to protect Lyons? :D He could've just, you know, kept running in the same line like most players do. He didn't need to jump into him at all and now he's going to pay the price of that decision.

It's a lot to ask, but don't be ridiculous. He follows through with his running action and nothing happens.

The ball was gone, he braced, he jumped, he got him high. It's pretty damn clear cut.

The ball was well and truly gone when he laid the bump!
