Umpiring

[Tigeron]

Have the Richmond footy club thought about having black and white on the back of there jumpers could increase our free kick count by 50 per cent

 

[4tune8]

Do you have the stats for 2017- 2020?

Nah

Sorry if this has been posted already but boy this is a great podcast and adds lots of credence to the idea that things could be fixed in the afl too (whether for financial gain and/or to send teams up or down the ladder). The interpretation of rules is different for different teams and individual players. Clearly directed by the AFL.

It’s just so revealing to hear umpires talking about how easy it is to influence the result of a match without even being obvious or breaking any rules of the game.

There’s a fine line between match fixing and match influencing.

afl is more fixed than nba since 2021

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

The AFL Old Boys Club...oh no Judge...we were not match fixing at all...we were match influencing in the interests of League/Club equalization!!!...

would be interesting to see the documents the umpires sign before agreeing to be umpires in the afl

The AFL is open about trying to 'improve' the game. They inform the umpires each week on new rules or interpretations. It's pretty easy for them to end up begin biased against a certain style of play, or team. Without intending to. Under SHocking I reckon there was a bit of malice there. But once in place that bias is hard to get rid of.

 

[Punt rd end]

Maybe now that Dimma has gone we will get treated fairly

In fairness, the umps also need to practice too.

If they don't work on the finer points of butchering us with their whistle in the practice matches, then they might go into the proper season underdone and become unnecessarily fair-handed when the real stuff starts.

With this in mind, I thought they had a decent hit out.

I was on the wing when the huge bronx cheer went up when we finally got a free in the second half,in the half back line as well late in the game.

Pies fans did not object either,they knew.

It's the non calls which hurt us.

I have complete faith in our team,it's the umpires that give me depression.

5 goals worth of frees to the Pies last night if you divide the advantage by 3.

Looks like they will stay top of the free diffferential ladder for the 8th year while we stay bottom for the 8th year.

So my revised scoreline for Round Zero is Gold Coast 5.0.30 Richmond 0.0.00 before the game starts.

Now we all heard we copped frees because of Dimmas game style.

Let's see what they serve up now we play under a different coach and style.

Last night we saw no change to the umpire's treatment of Richmond from last year or the 6 years before that.

I will give them slack being a preseason warm up but I will be watching with interest.

This is nothing against our club at all.
Out of their control.
Balmey tried.

This is just reality.

I was very positive towards the umpires the first 5 rounds last year,then they went into rort mode after that.

I hardly raised a word last year early on.
We are the only club in history to win 3 flags while being bottom of the free differential so we can overcome this but how much extra work do our players have to put in???

Think we saw this in the body language and reactions of the player's on the field.

Schultz throws his head back for a head high free kick (which De Goey goals from), but replays barely show the contact to the head.

Another instance in the 3rd quarter where TT and/or Hopper laid fantastic tackling pressure (iirc) which players seem to assume should've been rewarded, but doesn't. Seconds later, ball spills out to the opposite wing, and Bolton makes no attempt to avoid getting Will Hoskin-Elliot (I think) high, despite obviously seeing him. Then it seems like Bolton stares down the ump, clearly wanting to ask why the previous tackles weren't rewarded (the way I understood that passage of play from Bolton).

Interesting that the "rule" for a deliberate behind which cost Broad a goal just last weekend has suddenly become amended to "nothing to see here" when Maynard does exactly the same thing tonight.

It's so ****ed. I just rewatched it and the commentators (BT and JB) were useless. They said that it's similar to last weeks but there must have been enough pressure on Maynard...and that was it. It's these guys jobs to call this shit out and they just sit on their hands and collect their undeserved pay for doing a shit job.

Hope there's a please explain going to the AFL after this from the Tigers. How the umps can have completely opposite rulings on an identical action 6 days apart is staggering.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Its the consistent inconsistencies of applying the games rules that is turning me orff from watching any AFL matches other than the Tigers!

 

[Antzzz]

The AFL have manipulated the game in every way they can....soft draws for some teams ....blockbusters for the big teams....academies for other teams ....rule changes to stop we know who ......how many times have the Tigers been ****ed over by new rule changes or flavour of the month rule changes .....it sticks out like dogs balls that we get umpired differently to other teams .....you cannot be last on the free kick table every year consistently it's just another manipulation....**** you AFL

yes, I agree something needs to be done before these magots completely destroy this great game.
they have been getting away with it for so long they don't even bother hide their cheating ways. Sick of watching Tigers get screwed week in week out and teams like pies, blues and cats get armchair rides.

Whateley on and on about the Curnow missed "goal" instead of the rorting we received.

Are these guys serious?

I’d love to have a fist fight with Whately! I’d give him a good old touch up & then foot him up the arse when he was running away! **** the umpires the AFL & Geelong. They can chew my arse out I’m done with the corruption. GAGF
