Roast Umpiring: Corruption or Incompetence, or both

[Grave Danger]

No sane person can deny that the umpires are applying the rules differently to Port now. It’s just so blatantly obvious.

Good job we train for that in the SANFL

 

[finbarr]

What about when we were paid a free kick but instead of the Collingwood player giving the ball back, they placed it on the ground 15m from the mark and ran away? Then his teammate (Adams?) decides to remonstrate with the Port player who tries to retrieve the ball. How TF that isn't a 50m penalty is beyond me.

A 50 metre penalty was paid against SPP either last year or the previous year for that. He was tackled on the ground, holding the ball went against him, and instead of handing the ball to the opposition player he placed the ball on the turf where he lay and stood up. A 50 metre penalty was paid against him immediately.

Commentators - "its a tough one but he really needs to be more aware and smarter than that".

How about the time that Robbie was in the goal square with two Magpies players who effectively sandwiched him, one front on, so he couldn't take a mark, and the call was "play on".

Good times roll.

One of the Collingwood player had his back to the ball and was not watching the ball over his shoulder but was looking forward at Robbie who was attempting to contest the ball. That is as clear a block as you'll ever see. Maybe the umpire didn't pay it because Robbie exaggerate the fact that he was clearly blocked illegally.

You know we had a bad run yesterday when even Dermie is bringing it up on the air.

Whether it was the inconsistencies in the marking contests (AA "spoiled" etc), not being allowed to line up off the mark to take the shot for SPP but Crisp was allowed such leeway, the Taylor Adams flop reversal, the centre bounce non-recalls despite them going right down Grundy's throat only to be recalled when it favoured us. Then you've got the Robbie Gray block in the contest in the 4th quarter by Maynard, a potential OOF in the final minute called a throw in. Even Quaynor's duck into McKenzie with 15 seconds to go should have been holding the footy.

And yet you know the Vics will overlook all of that and blame the umpires for Grundy not getting a free kick for in the back with 45 seconds to go - because that cost the Pies the game.

Yeah listening to SEN Vic this morning all the Collingwood supporters were complaining about the Grundy "push in the back" in the last minute.

The Robbie Gray block in the goal square was farcical. You just can't do that. Shepherding out of the marking contest every day of the week.
And you're right about that last free kick. That was a perfect tackle to a player ducking in to it.

And if robbie threw the guy out of the way it would of been a free to the magpies ****ed either way...

It's unbelievable that in a sport with such wide spread gambling that the way umpires influence results on a regular basis by incorrectly and inconsistently applying the rules isn't subjected to more scrutiny.

 

[Alberton Proud]

The non holding the ball just a min before that gave Walker the shot is the bigger story here - that’s a problem that’s been happening all year and should never have been let to play on.

Arguing that after running 10m with the ball, taking on 3 tacklers and producing a poor excuse for a handball 5 seconds later constitutes a legal disposal is farcical

 

[finbarr]

SPP being told he wasn't allowed to start off his line was an absolute beauty.

Richmond last year. The one not paid yesterday was blatantly worse

Good times roll.

The one who was front on was Maynard. He wasn't even looking at the ball. Literally didn't even try to pretend that he wasn't blocking, still no free.

Dermott Brereton "He did well not to give away a free kick there"

I wasnt sure if he was talking about Maynard or Razor Ray

Not just the Collingwood supporters but Dwayne as well.

If he bothered to look at the replay he would see it is clearly a fall caused by legs intertwining.

Making unjustified rubbish comments like that just takes attention away from the legitimate complaints about no call decisions that need to be highlighted if we are going to get improvements in standards.

Will be very interested to hear the AFL's position on the last minute 2 non calls in the crows/dees game. The intent of the crows player to deliberately hand ball out of bounds was clear and is not changed by a Dees player laying a finger nail on it that was noticed by no one until after new footage emerged. Intent is intent. Even Matty Nicks has said that non call was surprising.

Are you serious? Man, **** that guy. I wish we distanced ourselves from that tool.

But he did brilliantly not to give away a free.
Lol Vic commentators.

umpires precisely dictate momentum every minute of every game to reach their desired outcome. to me the final wake-up was the blatantly fixed Dogs v Swans Granny. nothing has been the same since and the AFL game has plummeted down the ranks in terms of how good a spectacle it is since.
