We're undefeated at Adelaide Oval if I'm not mistaken?

2014, 2016 we beat Crows
2015, 2016, 2017 x 2, Port

6/6, quite the record

Crows touched us up there late 2015

Didn't enjoy the sexist undertones regarding the female umpire last night in the crowd. I find she's subject to more scrutiny simply because she's a woman, and because she stands out so much more than your sea of white scrawny accountant looking blokes that are the other umpires you tend to notice her bad or non-calls so much more. Few old men in the crowd around me need to realise what year it is.

I don't recall a female field ump before. I'm sure it's happened before otherwise this game would've been a massive deal. Anyone know when it first occurred?

Only loss there thus far.

Think it was even more unacceptable considering it was indigenous round, which to me is about embracing everyone in the football community.

I called out the grumpy old fart sitting next to me when he complained about her.

I said it’s ok to say she is shit because she is an umpire, not because she is female, but in reality even that isn’t ideal.

She umpired last year, can't remember the first one.

I was over east last year for her first game and she was terrible feel like the vfl rushed her in before she was truly ready. Last night she was alright though

Us vs Essendon last year not sure how many others she's done at this level

These things need to be decided on merit. If she's good enough she's good enough. Anything less is tokenism. One bad call lastnight (I thought), but otherwise fine.

Her problem is she's the only umpire that's not a 5'10" to 6'2" white male with a boring haircut.

Individual umpires normally stand out in your mind when they umpired badly, she stands out naturally, so people just assume she's umpired badly. Same to an extent what happens with Razor Ray.

Yep that's basically what I meant - outside of Ray and Matthew Nicholls it's a sea of scrawny white accountants that I couldn't pick out of line-up.

I don't pay attention to your posts.

I have no problem with her umpiring but if you do a shit bounce just recall it .

I don't blame you. I've all but given up trying to find out how to put myself on ignore.

The original.

And that really didn't count because Hawthorn lost the night before meaning we didn't need to beat the Crows to get top 2. We had the queue in the rack that whole game.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Umpire bouncing last night was disgraceful. Eleni’s bouncing was easily the best of the three.

Just kill the bounce, who cares.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

So what do we reckon, Fyfe going to get that Brownlow protection like always, or is he gone?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Should be gone, attempted dog act, but he'll plead Brownlow and get a fine because tackling people is worse than running and jumping at someone with your elbow out.

 

[Forward Press]

Under the old MRP reviews it's a textbook one weeker. In the air, elbow out, late and collected him in the head.

Under the new MRP a fine at most because he's a Brownlow favourite.

 

[Bender_]

Not guilty. Will be the second easiest decision Christian has had to make this year.

 

[Ochre]

Careless, high contact, low impact. Will get fined.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Is it really careless if you intend to bump, you jump to go high and you put your elbow out? Seems like intention to hurt a bloke to me.

 

[CM9000]

Made a gif of that actually:

Rance should get a week for that IMO, absolute blight on the game.

 

[Gods_Son23]

Wow! First time I've seen it.
