D1 Division 1 - 2012

Agree that clubs providing their own goal umps is a joke, so many opportunities for them to unfairly influence the game. It especially hurts honest clubs such as Whitefriars that produce fair and reasonable umps every week. Good thing the friars will be in c grade next year and have official ones.

Not sure who Whitefriars think they'll roll out of NOBS and Peninsula.

I was not commenting on the goal umpires, just the field or central. I think you must have watched a different Whitefriars field ump than the one I watched at Packer Park

Both

I don't know how you could possibly complain about the standard of field umpiring in d1 this year. As far as Whitefriars are concerned they have been absolutely fantastic this year. Perhaps your club should do some work with its players and supporters on umpire appreciation, they have one of the toughest jobs out there, they deserve more respect.

I was talking about the reserves umpire, not the VAFA supplied. I agree they have a tough job, having first hand knowledge, as I umpired both field and central for several years after I finished playing.

The Whitefriars Umpire was an absolute joke and should never be allowed to umpire again.

 

[eddiesmith]

Maybe the players should be a bit more disciplined and take responsibility for their own actions instead of blaming the umpires

He has been mentioned more than once this year

Saw the game and i would have to agree.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about the vafa umpires, didn't realise you were sooking about volunteer umpires in the twos.

They are whingeing about both

 

[Rissoles]

Saw the game and i would have to agree.

Each Club has forms to submit on judgement of umpiring in each game.
I hope the Clubs who were involved in the game you're referring to submitted their reports.
Otherwise, they are doing nothing to help with feedback and development of umpiring.

Whinging, sniping & tipping. To be considered a decent bloke, you'll need to add more strings to your bow, bedford.

That didn't take long mate. Is it true you have a new cricket team next year ?
Seriously both clubs are very similiar at the minute, hard to compete when you lose so many players.

Round 11 Tips:-

A fine day with light winds is forecast for the match of the round which will determine the premiership favourite.
NOBs on their home deck take on Peninsula. The winner goes one game clear on top.
I'm tipping the Pirates with more incentive and confidence to overcome NOBs by 18 points.
Old Mentonians need to defeat an erratic Ormond to cement their place in the four. OMs by 12 points.
Whitefriars to defeat Willy by 6 goals.
MHSOB to defeat Glen Eira by 27 points.
And the Oggers to get a percentage booster against St Johns.

James Bond: Do you expect me to talk? Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
It would seem this forum has very little active dialogue.
Very little opinion, very little discussion.
Round 11 showed that NOBs are the premiership favourites.
To be honest, an unattractive, Lyon-type game with too much defence and bugger all flair.
Still, the NOBs shut down the Pirates and that's all it took to win.
Ormond continued their up and down season with a wonderful win against Old Mentonians.
It seems that if Ormond bring their A game on any given Saturday, they could beat anyone.
The rest of the games went according to expectations.

 

[bedford]

Great win by the Monders, which could have come down to another goal umpiring blunder. Ormond kicked 6 goals in the 2nd Q, only for the goalies to take 1 off at half-time. The Field umpires also thought Ormond had kicked 6 and if the game came down to less than a goal there would have been an inquirery. The final score showed a 1pt win, but OM's stat man and timekeeper both confirmed that Ormond had kicked 6, well done for their honesty.

A morgue is noisier than this forum has been in the past week!

Round 12 Tips:
NOBs to defeat Willy comfortably at home.
Old Geelong to defeat Glen Eira at Como Park.
Peninsula to defeat MHSOB at Mount Eliza.
Ormond to defeat St Johns at Doveton.
Whitefriars to defeat Old Mentonians at Donvale.

 

[Uncle Mick]

I'll take those tips too. ^^^

How has GE's new recruit gone? Twin brother of Port Adelaide's Simon Phillips. I believe he started a week or 2 ago??

 

[bedford]

I'm trying. No goal umps again this week, clubs should get a discount as the powers that be are happy to fine at will if the clubs stuff up
