Like most weeks the calls were terrible and I've been baffled that Rayor still has a gig but I'm also amazed that Gill has a gig as well.
If the umpiring was good on Thursday we'd have lost by 2- 3 goals less. Rarely does it decide a game but frustrates the hell out of me.
Wish the club would just come out and say we don't want Chamberlain doing any of our games and why is the umpiring so s**t and has been for years. Forget the new rules. Get blokes that are capable of doing the job. Most of these nufties can not.
With the Hawks game - the only call I saw that was wrong was the gut punch by Sicily. That was directly a result of the AFL nufties being too lienient in round 1 and being told to crack down on punching in round 2.
Again terrible leadership. Again - Gill the dill and his band of moronic minions
Don’t think its been mentioned by anyone (maybe), but at 3 quarter time on Thursday, Riewoldt and 3 other Richmond players had a long and animated conversation with that Chamberlain ahole. When the siren went out on the Southern Stand side, 50m arc roughly toward the city end, Riewoldt and the others went for a good minute or two with Chamberlain as he walked back to the centre circle. Very agitated was Riewoldt and the others. Lots of finger pointing to different areas around the ground…head shaking etc. Very terse.
When Chamberlain got to the centre circle with his other incompetent co-workers, they also went into a brief animated conversation. One of them looked like he might have given Chamberlain a bit of a “wtf ?” and Chamberlain didn’t look too happy.
How this guy has a job as an AFL umpire is beyond me. He’s drawn more “bad umpiring attention” than anybody else by a mile over the last 10 years - and that’s saying something given the performances of the likes of De Booy, Stevic, Margetts, Nicholls, Fisher, McInerney over that time.
And you can see why he draws so much attention on the field when you hear him off it. That Fox Footy interview with him…you only needed 60 seconds to determine that this guy’s ego is totally out of control and that he just isn’t suitable for the role he’s performing. Guy has a massive chip, massive ego, completely self opinionated…just totally unsuitable.
