Roast The Umpires

[haydenboii]

The amount of times they bounced the ball to Kreuzer's advantage was disgraceful. Especially the one in the last 5 minutes which resulted in Henderson's goal. FFS next time just throw up the ball if you can't bounce it properly or at least call it back for a redo!!!

WHO CARES WE WON WOOOO!!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Blair is still out there searching for his upper body on the MCG turf. No free though.

 

[Wooljay]

I reckon we did alright with the umpiring, might want to keep a lid on it

 

[CasuallyDressed]

The scumpires tend to suck every week.

 

[blaze036]

Thought the umpiring was excellent generally, but the bounces were bullshit they heavily favored krueser whatever said he was on

 

[HeavyPop]

Eh, they were okay except for that bounce you talked about, which could have cost us the game.

 

[chop_me]

I reckon we did alright with the umpiring, might want to keep a lid on it

I would agree with this

 

[rustyg70]

Shhh. That was a blatant push in the back against Brown with 2 minutes to go.

 

[MegaBob]

Both teams copped some ordinary decisions.

 

[biggiemediums]

Umpires were poor all over. a few sling tackles should have gone to carlton and those ball ups should have been re-called!

They umpired the second half like it was a final, and therefore the umpiring then was very good.

The bouncing, however, is inexcusable.

 

[DWil6]

Yeh we didn't do badly with the umps except the bounces.

 

[upnsmoke]

Shhh. That was a blatant push in the back against Brown with 2 minutes to go.

But just seconds before that a magpie player was pushed on the back also by a Carlton player.. The no calls on both plays cancelled it out... For me anyways.

 

[FireKrakouer]

I thought the umpiring was atrocious, there's no denying it favored us overall though. So much inconsistency, in scrappy pack situations it seems like a lottery re: which team gets awarded the in-the-back or HTB.

 

[Mateyman]

Holding the ball rule is now beyond a joke. Basically, you just drop it and 90% of the time you won't be pinged

 

[stanley86]

It was alright today
it was hard to umpire when it was wet and I thought they did alright then
The bounce towards the end wasn't great but all good in the end

 

[Collingwoodity]

We all agree. Well actually we don't.

 

[Pera]

They were good I thought. They were consistent with their interpretations, which change from umpire to umpire.

 

[Ron]

Poor both ways, maybe a little less poor our way though.

Was very frustrating watching those bounces though in the last quarter.

 

[Lockyer24]

Those bounces should be brought back

But all in all, umpires haven't killed us this year as they normally do

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

They were so ready to go the 'In the back' rule today, even when the real reason was slippery grass and sliding players.

Still don't think they affected the outcome despite the poor bounces. A small blessing.

 

[rose jam]

The commentators been blabbing on about how Kreuzer was dominting the hit outs, but I counter no less than 6 where he the umps bounced it right over his head, it was such crap

 

[Swooop]

Thought we did pretty well today

The bad decisions seemed to take in turns to favour them, then is etc

Carlton could point to a few very bad ones they got, as could we.
