If he umpires again within the next month, there are no actual Standards for umpires. Actually he should be invited to retire. 324 games is enough. many on here think its about 323 too many.
The rule itself is hard to judge in certain situations. I have zero issue with a short backward defensive kick being called play on. However when you've got a really tight game, and your guy makes space then why shouldn't a short kick be rewarded in the forward 50.Fair point. Umpires are really struggling to assess kick distance.

Don't really understand your post to be honest.Lool you got to be kidding me we got penalised for this push in the back for that throw below and a goal.
Pickett causes the free no problems with that , but he got cloths line previously play on stayed up as his tuff as nails 2 sets of rules pathetic.

I was generally interested to here of your examples and gone back and reviewed multiple times as I to hate the throwing that is becoming prevalent in the game.Don't really understand your post to be honest.
But I was just commentating on the blatant chucking that Richmond were doing. It was incredible to see it so blatant, yet go unpenalised.
As throwing is a pet hate of mine, I found it infuriating.
I nearly lost my sh*t when Richmond kicked that goal from the passage of play out of the centre clearance. Pickett blatantly chucked it, then the young bloke threw bit over his head like a boundary umpire!!
It was appalling.

In a legitament handball the striking hand must project the ball out of the guiding hand, which happened in both the examples you have alluded to . Handballing over the shoulder is not prohibited it is just difficult to do , but the modern player does it legally with relative ease compared years gone by.

We got shafted again,nothing new for Richmond fans.OK. New rule change. From next year no umpires. Honestly how much worse could it be.
Take whatever pittance it is they pay the umps and donate it to charity. Win.
