Not even mentioning some areas, as I would be writing an essay.

Yeah, that was the Carlton team ... what did you think of the umpires?

Same in the Derby

Ross Glendenning medal should have gone to them

Dunno what you are talking about. Umpiring was OK in the Essendon / Carlton game.
Couple of free kicks either way but none of them were life changing, especially when you lose by 3 goals.

chopping the arm rule was a disgrace tonight... so many errors by the umpires for both sides...

i think inconsistant is too nice walshy... try ____ing shithouse!

if anyone ever tries to say the umpiries have no influence over the game have a look at last nights game... there were somthing like 25 frees in the first half for about 120 points kicked... in the third quarter for some "inconsistant" reason they put the whistle away and let things go and only paid 4 frees and there was about 70-90 points kicked in that quarter alone!

the game is slowly being ruined by Kevin Bartlett on the rule committee and their muppets in multicolours out on the field!

You really hate KB! I agreee, the quality of football that occurs when the whistle is away is improved tenfold.

Take the 2005 GF, the 2nd half was umpire free virtuallly, and what a great game it was. The 3rd quater last night was equally as free flowing and enjoyable to watch.

It puzzles me as to why the umpiring panel doesn't say:

"Let it go, only real pushes in the back, real high tackels, and real holding the ball/man"

The quality would improve so much more, and it would make this game even better!

umpiring this round has been shocking in a number of games.

 

[ManWithNoName]

It was baffling last night. Carlton got a shocking run.

 

[Beloved]

To be fair, we have been consistently losing.

All jokes aside, it was a poorly umpired game.

dead set inconsistent all night
a definate change from the first half to the second
but in all honesty..id rather see the umpires take the approach they did in the second half tonight all the time
seemed to let everything go, didnt pay the frees when players were falling forward in the tackle..didnt ping the guy going in for the ball
i know it goes against everything theyve been paying the last 12 months, but i reckon the fact they let it go made it a better spectacle..first half was just shocking
