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?

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.

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

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 .

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.
 
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.
 


Made a gif of that actually:

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