Any thoughts? At least he will get an early start on the pre-season.

Is this real life?

I'm calling it now - Umpire Nicholls will get the Grand Final

Without a doubt, THE dodgiest umpire out there.

 

[crazywildhorse]

Apart from the fact that he likes to assert his massive ego into games, he is hardly the worst umpire. Was he even that bad on Friday? The only howler I remember was the Hawkins free kick and goal, was that him?

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

He is a flog.

Would rather Nicholls than Pannell or Merideth. Absolute flogs

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Gee, what will the Grand Final become without Chamberlain stuffing up a vital decision at the crucial time of the match, or talking down to players like they are 3 year olds?

He probably got the sack for the Hale and Roughead charity shockers down the other end.

Cost you the game did they those calls?

Nope, but they cost the ump.

Fair enough. I assume you're heading the charge on the Cats board to be dropping SJ, McIntosh, Hawkins, Kelly, Motlop, Caddy & Mackie this week?

You should never make assumptions from a position of ignorance.
In your case that can be shortened to "never make assumptions".

If only you followed your own advice.

 

[Present Not Past]

Umpires should be dropped more regularly. Maybe then will they consider their actions on the field.

Don't disagree. What's the criteria for dropping an umpire?

One way is they could have a points system similar to the players. All games are to be reviewed by a panel of retired independent umpires. If they discover an obvious mistake then that referee is penalised. They have different points for different mistakes. If their points go over a set limit then they miss a week.

BF should vote on them in a weekly thread

Field - Mathew Nicholls (15), Simon Meredith (21), Troy Pannell (28) Brett Rosebury (Em)

Fremantle vs. Port Adelaide

Wow..

I know Razor has some questionable calls occasionally - and by occasionally I mean often. But it's like they saved all the utterly biased, game changing umps for this weekend. Congrats Geelong on your prelim btw.

There is slim sliver of hope for North with Shane McInerney missing that game.

 

[AM]

Don't mind Razor. But his form has tailed-off at a critical time.

Oh jeeeeez
