Roast Umpiring: Corruption or Incompetence, or both

found this the other day ....

it seems crying to the AFL works

Their day-glo clown colours and whinging sense of entitlement makes it hard for the umps to ignore them.

Interesting: Victorian Teams + 95; Non-Victorian Teams - 95 for a differential of 190 after 4 games!

How is that not a scandal?

 

[Us against the rest]

Wow, so it's not my imagination.

Collingwood & Carlton have requested an Royal Commission into this stat.

Well that is Carlton's number from before last night occurred.

How many times do we get donkey rooted by umpires before we speak out.

That was a shocking application of two sets of rules.

 

[FrankDrebin]

BRING BACK ELENI!!

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I’m astounded at that display.

Hopefully Mali was sitting next to that poonce of a CEO and express his feelings

This is when you call out the umpiring as a coach. You don't say they cheat you just say you need to talk to the umpiring coach for clarification.

If you say nothing then nothing changes.

 

[Us against the rest]

Standards slipping everywhere, player stocks being spread over so many teams has created some very average AFL players and even worse is not only do we have way too many umpires their standard is even worse than the players.
The AFL is now a joke, with Tasmania not far off entering the circus things will only get worse.

 

[Ported]

Allowing players to take the ball, launch head first into opponents and claim the free is terrible for the game and dangerous, AFL should be suspending tonight's umpires for retraining if they're serious

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I can graciously accept a loss after the game. But getting shanked in broad daylight by these umpires every single week is just infuriating. Like Wines I'm sick of it.

It's high time this club grew a ****ing set of kegs and actually stood up for itself and spoke out.

And keeps speaking out until something changes.

It's like clockwork how regularly we get ****ed by scumpires.

They had 6 goals from frees, only clear one was JHF 50

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

The look like even bigger clowns when they do the lasso tango ..


Carr has to call this out it's cheating

Having a player go on a fake disposal is supposed to be a reset of the positions not a 50.

And when Silvagni moved across to smother a pass on the boundary line, he moved before the disposal to get there.

More likely if asked goes down the weak route and says nothing like hinkley used to. This club is a door mat

Front on contact to Georgie right in front of goal no free paid. Make no mistake those cheating campaigners cost us the game. I was nearly over the fence at one point. ****ing disgrace and our club needs to grow a set and call them out on it. Not a one off either it is consistently happening.

That was as blatant as I’ve seen.. the non holding the balls, the leading with the head frees.. not 1 50/50 free went our way..

I hope carr calls it out.. or one of our media ex players has a crack..

I'll ask AI what it thinks. 100% response will be:

You're not imagining it, and honestly.......

 

[Chachi]

People wearing Melbourne scarfs said to me after the game “umpires absolutely screwed you guys”.

There were some very dubious decisions at the Barossa game. Chad was calling on SEN and was ripping them to bits

It's getting to the point where multiple identical frees are getting paid one way but not the other.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Honestly I can take bad calls if they’re consistent. We certainly aren’t get that at the moment.
