Umpiring

[kozi]

* me you know it has to be Defcon 1 when Richo has finally said something

 

[Orange crush]

Don't know if this posted.
Finally someone in the media are talking about Richmond.

since 2018 gws are -206 .... Kingers has not helped bringing Tigers free counts with him

Being a full on corrupt league it's inevetable CFL will go after some other club one day with the entire ump fraterntiy against them

And when it does happen I am going to gaslight the absolute FUQ out of their sorry fans just like we cop

• Na you guys just play on the edge
• Free kick count doesn't have to be even, thought umps were great
• Most delusional fanbase ever thinking umps are out to get them
• Last on free kick differential 8 years straight? Na never happened

Essendon plays on the edge (as we did until they stole everything) and they're top of the frees. It's literally nothing to do with our game style then or now, it's just a cop out people use.

I'm glad to see that Richo, Robbo, and others are starting to notice the numbers.

Id like to see how afl hq will spin their way out of this. They'll probably throw the umpires under the bus and disavow any knowledge of this...

It's a busy day deleting emails and shredding evidence at the afl

theyve already ticked it off and said the umps got it right

It’s not just the fact we get paid less free kicks. There’s levels to this. One aspect is, and someone mentioned it before, we seem to get a heap of our free kicks once the game is over. So we may lose the free kick count 20-13 but at one point, it was probably 18-4.

I also want to see the stats on how many scores have resulted from a free kick for us vs opposition. I’d be willing to wager a good amount of money that the opposition average more points per free kick than we do. Just the weekend game alone, I recall Freo kicking at least two goals direct from free kicks and none for us.

But when a Tiger coach goes to Collingwood ,he magically gets an all you can eat buffet of free kicks.
And if McCrae went back to Tigerland to coach,watch those frees disappear.

And Wankley reckons the game is in it's best state.
Did they have rave parties at the horseracing?
God wept.

SEN,CFL's mouthpiece ,sweep it under the carpet.

Maybe Thomson Dow should've booted it into the stands. Because then the common sense "rule" would've applied..

 

[Waca Jr]

Lol. Of course they have approved it

What team does Laura Kane support?

It's gonna be weird rewatching games from this era after they finally get rid of STAND. It's such a ridiculous part of the game having them yell STAND all the time and then all the silly rules around how to STAND and when you can stop STANDING. What an unnecessary and stupid addition to the game that has been. Utter clowns in charge.

One of the worst rules ever introduced. I am incredibly grateful that our recent flag years were before this abomination was introduced so you can watch the replays of the GFs and all the other games without that shit.

Rhetorical question, I know, but for those that don't, its Collingwood.

I have been concerned about the direction of the club administration for a few years now. The penny dropped for me when covid hit and the club was virtue signalling everything the Government said (we don't need another propaganda machine in RFC we already have the main stream media doing all the dirty work). I was so disgusted over some of the comments Gale made I called the club to complain and told them that I don't agree with Gales comments and he should stick to football. I also said "I am a member of the club and he doesn't speak on my behalf regarding this matter".

I know I will cop a lot of s**t over this post but I don't give a s**t

I called the club also and told them the same as you. Good on you for speaking your truth.

We might have had more GF replays to watch if they hadn't brought it in. Was aimed directly at our playstyle.

Spoke to the club today and told them if they don't fix the umpiring issues, I'm not renewing next year. They said they are working on it, but it's not something they can control. Said, don't care, whatever they are doing isn't working, I'm not enjoying going to or watching games anymore after 20 years a member. Better things to spend time and money on.

She supports Team Laura and Team CFL. Which means she does what's she's told by the boys club and shafts Richmond every chance she gets.

Thanks, I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Thank you also.

Likewise, I emailed the club to express my concern about the corrupt umpiring. I got a similar response that the club is aware of the clear inconsistencies and has spoken to the league of its concerns.

They can do something about it, ****ing highlight it after the game, tell the media we want to seek some clarity on why our free kick differential is the worst in the league for 10 years.

**** me Freo win the free kick count 21-10 and yet Longmuir still highlights that their young forwards aren't being looked after. Have we ever come out and said we want some clarity over why Tom Lynch never gets easy frees?

Weekends game show the non-free kick call for Freo in a tackle then show exactly the same one where we got called holding the ball, there is lots we can do a lot of it has to be visual, being the AFL is run by dickheads who can't read.

I'd also make sure it wasn't a 30minute meeting either, id book in an hour meeting and bring along tonnes of examples and shit calls.

Devils advocate but what exactly would that achieve?
If the clubs have a process to lodge complaints with the afl internally what exactly is the benefit of calling it out publicly

It’s not like the afl are going to come out and say anything confirming the accusations anyway

If people are that passionate the only thing I could say is go down to the next AGM and ask the questions there

This Dill bloke running the show now is just a spineless lawyer. Little to no integrity. He's working at the right place.

Definition of insanity - doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

honestly put them in their place what are scared off a fine in a press conference no matter what we still get screwed. Club needs to wakeup to much anger at games now with supporters gone to far and people getting turned off.
