Is the AFL rigged?

You can choose more than one option.

What a great sport, that keeps getting better.

I do believe in match-fixing; providing evidence in court is another thing, lol.

The evidence is there right in front of me

Rigged? Or just incompetent umpires. Won't single anyone out by name but the non-male ones have no ****ing idea

Shouldn't even be umpiring. Cannot umpire to save themselves.

Umpiring has ****ed this game completely - well done campaigners

 

[RoaringTiger]

There has absolutely been a directive to umpires to shaft us the last 8 years. It’s mathematically impossible for our free kick treatment to be anything other than intentional

 

[docko911]

The club gives me the shits. Stand up for us. Demand umpires be stood down and inquiries into match fixing occur. It wasn’t even a question tonight. There was a clear one-sided agenda.

The rules are also a joke. They specifically changed the rules to stop us. Why have we not publicly gone after the AFL over the disgrace. No one likes the stand rule and yet we have to put up with this nonsense that is not our game. Our club is as much to blame as anyone else because we have the power to take a stand against the corrupt and greedy officials at AFL house.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Yes 100%

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Why is it inconceivable that match fixing exists, of course it does remember that umpire that was caught.

 

[_DBF_]

Nothing tonight convinced me that match / spot fixing isn’t rife. Was pathetic cheating beyond belief.

 

[two blue tiger]

No it's not. Just run by and officiated by a bunch of incompetents.

They make sepp blatter look like a choir boy

The frees were so conveniently timed too. As soon as we looked like getting ahead early or getting back into the game, bam free kick in front of goal.

 

[Neen]

Even Stevie Wonder would have been baffled by the open cheating tonight.

 

[Daka]

I have believed it is rigged, and it won't be changing that opinion anytime soon.
It's why I have moved away from going to games, and honestly get less enthusiasm about the sport.

Most AFL games are average and not a good watch.

 

[OFFtheBALL]

and the fear to go rogue and stand up for ourselves in the public eye baffles me. what to be scared of?
the pies wouldnt stand for this for a second, especially the eddie era.

we were getting shafted during our flags too, but were just too damn good.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Melbourne mod on their board is quoting this thread like a loser lol. Guess instead of sympathising after we get umpired like that he'd rather troll. Oh well, a shame that there are fans like that on bigfooty. I know if I was the beneficiary of something like that I'd feel lucky and wouldn't shit on the other team or their board who feel aggrieved

 

[Waca Jr]

That's probably the best thrusting from officials I've seen since Bonnie Blue's 24 hr session. Easily the worst we have ever copped. Not even up for discussion

 

[Coach_Required]

Not rigged but umpires do have their favourite teams.

I'd love to see a breakdown of all individual umpires frees for and against sides. How many are paid in front of goal and how many are paid in the backline. How many 50's for and against.

The hard one of course is those deliberately missed that should be paid.
