....or are they
Are the media aware we got 3 FF in 3 and a half quarters of footy?

I’ve heard it mentioned a couple of times already this week. I thought a couple of calls were missed but nothing too noticeable. There were some holding the balls I thought we should have got from memory.

Also one of the three we did get was upfield with no advantage paid so they could take a goal off us

I was at the game and wasn't sure of the stats but said to the missus in the 3rd, 'have we had a free yet?' well I was close we had 3 which is ridiculous, although it didn't overly affect the game the umps did everything they could to keep the dockers in it.
The football media is unfortunately not independent and rarely criticise umpires or the AFL, don't s**t where you eat.

Watching the game, in all fairness they umpired Fremantle almost perfectly. Unfortunately for us they failed to call about half a dozen frees that I bet if we wore purple we would have got.
It was a low free kick game and there was no howlers, we just didnt get the ones we should have so no media outrage as they dont look at the non decisions. (Gerard Healy v GWS game talks about the HH free but nothing about the missed Grimes head high tackle)

lol I forgot that one we kick the goal after a play on and the ump takes the goal off us and brings it back, isn't it supposed to be the players that decide if they want to play on?Also one of the three we did get was upfield with no advantage paid so they could take a goal off us

Should ask yourself, would the reporting be different it this happened to the Flagpies, Carltank or Druggies?

Genuinely didn't noticed it was so lopsided until I heard the stat. Didn't feel like we got too many missed. Sometimes that just happens.
We dont have the right Football personalities in the media to call it out or bring it up.
We have Richo, who most of the time is complementing or talking up our opponents. Caro who is more focussed on being critical in the running of our club and when she does mention something in our favour she is heavily talked down on the socials because footy is a sexist environment.
Mark Robinson - if it was Essendon would have written a 2-page article on the game. Matthew Lloyd on Footy Classified
Collingwood - McGuire although a bit removed would have popped his head up and made headlines. Buckley would have mentioned it in a topic but snuck it in for debate.
Port Adelaide - Kane Cornes would have most definitely brought it up as VFL bias
even the likes of Hawthorn, Bulldogs, Saints, Melbourne & North have people in the media at present with loud voices. (Dunstall, Lewis, Johnson, Montagna, Dal Santo, Lyon, King)
The quicker Jack retires and gets a gig at fox the better, hopefully he doesn't take the Richo sit on the fence route.

Other then the down field goal and a dropping the ball non call I thought they were pretty good. I'd be a lot happier if more games were umpired that way

The reason why Richo talks other teams up is because he's such a lovely guy, and doesn't want to appear bias towards Richmond.
Thats my point we just dont have anyone representing us with a biased view. We all know he bleeds Yellow & Black but we dont have anyone willing to cause a bit of a stir. The only person we do is Caro and she gets heavily criticised by mentioning the word Richmond.

need main board thread on this biaseddustyfan
Reverse bias-ism.
I’m wondering if at some stage ( 6 years ago ) the umpires were told to watch Richmond. So now when we are the tackler or spoiler they watch us with expectation but when the opposition are the tackler or the spoiler they don’t watch with any expectation.
Because something is going on.

They want fans to just accept it's a proper corrupt comp

I think at least one and maybe both the other two were out of bounds on the full kicks.Also one of the three we did get was upfield with no advantage paid so they could take a goal off us

Gerard Healy may have won a Brownlow and been a very good player but quite frankly he should just shut his mouth sometimes. Bloke secretly wishes he'd been a premiership player.

Somone raised it in the presser after the game so obviously some in the media are aware of it...

As you'd expect, nothing of note. Mini toed the line.
