So the Umps aren't directed to focus on specific interpretations hey? Bullshit. Coaches, tell your players this week any slight OOB will be paid against you

It's going to be a loooooong weekend.
The calls became more and more farcical as the night went on.

If they are going to pay it that badly just pay against last touch.

Bullshit. It's deliberate OOB, not make every conceivable effort to keep it in!This is how I have always thought the rule should be interpreted. Hope the umps keep it up.

Just take a bite
Terrible rule. Kicks over the line should be out on the full and a free, handpasses or ruck knocks that are over the line on the full should be deliberate. Nothing else.
This is how I have always thought the rule should be interpreted. Hope the umps keep it up.
That's exactly how it should be from now on. There were a couple of stuff ups ie the geelong one where priddis kicks a goal but i hope they do it like that every week.
I guess the Geisch spun the rule of the week wheel this week. Got to be seen to be doing something.
Oh geez that was horrible
I think there were worse things tonight than the deliberate rule at least there were bad decisions for both teams. I thought the umpires had a bad night but can't see how it favoured any one team.
Have actually noticed this trend over the last few weeks, at least in the Tiges games I've viewed. Against the blues there was probably three calls and also the week before if I recall correctly.
IMO it's not a specific focus but more a whole the umpires dig themselves- once they pay the first one they realise they've set that standard and start paying more and more. It's either none or several

Was terribly umpired tonight. I wonder though rather than a directive whether it was because they paid an early one to the cats, then got sucked in by the crowd to pay the square up to the eagles and from then on for consistency sake they just kept paying them.
I agree, but that doesn't make it any better. Just means the umps were shocking all game instead of half. Absolutely no clue
This thread got moved to the wastelands pretty quick. Cover up!
Um tonight was a little different to previous weeks. There were at least 8 deliberate free kicks, no other game comes close

Noticed in the Adel/Ess game last week that they were being alot stricter, there was at least 4 or 5 frees paid for it. But tonight was just horrible, they were paying it for not making a genuine attempt to keep it in rather than deliberately knocking it out.

They've been paying a few DOOB frees every game for the last 3-4 rounds,but tonight was just staggering with the ones they paid.It will be interesting to see if it happens at all games this weekend.

I loved it tonight. If it's in a players best interest to take the ball out of play, they should be penalised. Simple as that. It leads to more attacking football and a far better spectacle.
