Analysis Umpires

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

The ump was in perfect position for the karate kick to Crippa ribs.. so it is either blatant incompetence that he doesn’t understand the rules or choosing to ignore it..

Not sure why, but every week Crippa seems to cop the wro Ng end of the stick from the umps.. Last year it was Liam Jones, but this year it’s Cripps.. can’t imagine he is too lippy to the umps so what is behind it.. I think it’s time Teague stands up for his skipper and calls it out publicly
 
They have seemingly gotten worse under year since Steve Hocking joined the AFL.

I am inclined to blame the rules committee and Shocking for constantly tinkering with an already difficult game to adjudicate, and seemingly instruct the Umpires a different mandate from week to week..

The fact the umpiring was just as shithouse last night is testament to what I said.

Regardless of the fact that they won’t the free kick count by 8, 56 free kicks in a game of footy is far too many.. especially when a good chunk of those were 50/50 calls that could/should have been let go.

This year our games have averaged 34 free kicks per game (before this game)

Studs up rule...this is a pretty easy one to enforce.
Wallis vs us and now against Cripps.
Just stupid bringing in a rule and not enforcing it.

Oh they will enforce it. As soon as one of our blokes does it.

The media made out that rule was the death of footy. Spineless afl yet again blinked and are allowing a dangerous tactic to continue

Do you feel any sense of futility in that you make these types of comments prety much EVERY WEEK?
 
I'm actually wondering if the umps don't like Cripps. Does he mouth off? Is he a dick?

Because as soon as he enters a contested situation it's a free against.

If he's first to the ball it's holding the ball or a throw.

If he's second it's a push in the back or holding the man.

its the consistency that bothers me THY ... watch the game again ... what we get pinged for they got a free ride. Don't get me wrong the 2 50s evened it out slightly and I know they are not blatant try cheating but geez holding the ball rule seemed one way today

the lack of protection for Cripps is ridiculous ... but when he puts a feather on the ,,,, free .... must be iso frustrating for him

He is basically 50/50 for frees for and against. People just don't register when he gets a free kick and only remember when he gives them away.

Every player on the field can release the ball under whatever condition in a scrap, and the umps are happy to let the play flow. Yet once Cripps has it they pull out the microscope.

He touched an opponent on the shoulder tonight while trying to move the ball on and immediately had it taken off him.
 
38, when will footy fans ever understand that each time there is a fight for the ball, there is a chance of someone infringing - when you are sitting there in a tight game willing your team on (like me) your every molecule is either hoping or willing or expecting the resultant free to go our way - please god let it go our way - when it doesn't there is more than the usual "oh well that was a mistake" - you are not getting what you want and your mind resents it, resists it, and looks for someone to blame - when the pack starts baying for blood, it feels right to join in and play the victim ie 'poor us' - I only ever put this explanation out a couple of times a year because no-one ever really understands what I'm on about - look a bit deeper at the input made by the supporter when claiming umpire bias - and go listen to wayne campbell's 3 things about umpiring that we should all know and accept - think it's on the guessen site.....
