Umpiring Questionable Umpiring Decisions

I think the AFL should introduce a new rule that every free kick should be paid against Richmond.
This would be a win-win-win all around.
* Casual or new fans would find the game much easier to understand - no need to work out why a free kick is being paid, just "Oh right, Richmond".
* Fans of the 17 other clubs would enjoy seeing Richmond getting crucified every week.
* Richmond fans already believe everyone and everything is out to get them, so they can be happy in the knowledge that the Vast CFL Conspiracy is finally out in the open.

Owies wins a free kick for his dangerous tackle on Higgins but .... cops a week suspension for it
It was a poor decision at the time, I couldn’t work out why he got it - it was that obvious -

Richmond fans can't distinguish anything besides we get less free kicks and give away more. Free kick count is border line irrelevant. A team that has 20-30 more tackles would arguably get more free kicks. The main issues with umpiring is them not paying high free kicks to say a jack ginivan for staging while allowing Selwood and friends to get away with it. It's allowing Clayton Oliver 10 throws a match and then go on to punish an opposing player for an illegal disposal that was an incorrect call. You can receive 10 rubbish free kicks with momentum at a halt that equalise the free kick count but the opposition got 4 dodgy calls resulting in direct goals when momentum was in the balance beforehand. These are the sort of things to be critical about. I've seen Richmond have 10-15 free kicks less than the opposition but have more goals as a result from a free kick and Richmond supporters reacted like look how good we are we even best the umpires lol Richmond supporters complain about umpires like some interstate clubs complain about Vic bias

Ryan poleaxes unsuspecting Georgiades in wild play
Luke Ryan fiercely throws himself at Mitch Georgiades after the Power forward was called to play on while preparing for a set shot

Called to play on for reason unknown. Should have been a throw in as soon as he walked out of bounds.
Gets pushed front on?
Pretty simple he walked off his line and was called to play on and was then tackled which altered the line he was on and as he was out out of bounds a throw in was called for. Nothing to see hereRyan poleaxes unsuspecting Georgiades in wild play

Does the touched of the boot then deflected off the forearm 13m kick that was paid a mark 20m out from goal.
winner of the most questionable decision of the year?

Doesn’t make either of you right - correct decision
A players plays to the whistle.
A player is not to know that play is now out-of-bounds.
A player is not to know whether an umpire will blow out-of-bounds - it's happened before.
Commentators know almost nothing, miss a lot and make incorrect calls all the time.

False.
A player is not to know that play is now out-of-bounds when play is close to the boundary - TRUE.
because a player is concentrating on play as a player should.
