David King on SEN said in his opinion it was the worst officiated game of the year.

Roast Umpiring: Corruption or Incompetence, or both

Imagine having one of our players on the line to stop the Hawthorn player getting a free jump at touching the footy. That's some top-shelf incompetence on our part. Off-topic, but worth pointing out I think.

"I'm not saying Port would have won, because everything changes once the scoreboard is altered, you know, they were, they were wronged quiet regularly Port." David King
From the 16.27 a call from SA, goes thru his complaints on the game and then from 17.50 with Gerard saying it was a strangely umpired game and Gerard and King's comments finishing at 18.20

Watts was there with Stratton but it was 3 against 1 and Robbie and his man was about half way up the goal square if it dropped short. I think Jack didnt bother going for the Shepherd as he say it was all good.

And that caller wasn't even a Port supporter! (no Port supporter would say 'Polack' instead of 'Polec')
Hawks should've got more frees!
Someone needs to check his bank account.
How on earth can you call that a point in that position?
FARCICAL. He should never ever be allowed to goal umpire another AFL/VFL match in his life.

Agree
happening at our school with bullies, nobody makes a stand anymore, the school look at the parents to help solve the problem.... same thing here, atleast the Scott brothers open their traps.
Scary to think that'd be a behind if the review technology wasn't in the game.

I said to my wife at the time, perfectly positioned, his pnly reason to call a behind and go to the review was because he was hoping for a Hawks win.
Blatant cheating.

Yes. It’s clear the plan was for this to be a Hawks win.
Nicholls was doing most of the heavy lifting so I guess the goal ump felt the need to contribute in some small wAy.
Should be sacked. So ****ing blatant.
it almost has taken over from the North Melbourne game where it was 36-4 for the game or something like that.
has anyone investigated how long Nichols was camped inside the Hawks f50 during the last qtr yet? if not it needs to be done.

It started in the 1st quarter. Impey was caught cold in the centre of the ground, yet Nicholls calls a ball-up. From that very stoppage, the ball spills to Polec, who is tackled with no prior opportunity, ball is handballed/spills out at worst...HOLDING THE BALL.
It happens far too regularly with Nicholls. Something stinks. I don't believe it's incompetence. If you're incompetent, you'll be equally incompetent.

Of course its not incompetence. The AFL is a multi-billion dollar industry, are people really naive enough to think they leave a major part of their business to incompetent umpires? Just like we are now seeing with the banking royal commission, the AFL will be doing all sorts of "unconscionable" behaviours behind the scenes to suit their plans.

I was worried from the moment the commentators started and continued talking about a must win game for Hawthorn to keep them in touch with the 8.
i get sick of hearing that umpires dont influence the result and that we should win regardless of shit umpiring.
Yes we played shit.. but had the umpiring been fair instead of corrupt we would have won the game
4 goals from free kicks with 2 from rubbish 50 metre penalties that took them to easy goal scoring range
Had the game been officiated fairly we would have been an ugly 2-4 goal winner

I think the point is we can't do anything but whinge about umpiring, so apart from having a bitch about how corrupt the AFL is we need to focus on criticising what we could have done better. The umpires no doubt try to influence the result, but the aim is to be so good that the effect of the umpires' influence is negligible.
