The game is unwatchable with current umpiring and rules.

4 umpires shouldn't bring 4 different interpretations of the rules, it should be consistent and black and white.
everyone knows they brought the 4th one in to cheat better
 
I'm looking forward to a media beat up. As our game will be heavily umpired, and its on prime time.
imagine the corrupt meetings inside afl house this week
 
Nonce, that is vicious.

You're a bad man to rile there Michaels

I had to actually check what you meant there, hand on heart never knew that slang/ true meaning of nonce.

In my mind it was always just another way of calling someone a moron.

Upon googling the actual meaning though will not coin that one anymore

Holy sh!t boys.... we've finally been called out...

2 weeks of looking after hem should do the trick and they will al forget, then we go again.

No doubt the media finally talking about this is timed as an attack on Luke Beveridge for ****ing AFL rent boy Tom Morris over.

Our supporters should boo every free kick we get this week and say we stand in solidarity with Beveridge. **** the CFL.

Another glass of champers Gil old boy! Now about these Tigers...prawns you say?! Don't mind if I do!
 
The areas where there is the most inconsistency can mostly be fixed by massively simplifying the rules.

Ruck contests don't need any rules, other than the normal stuff about high contact or tripping. Let them ****ing wrestle. Why is that a bad thing? Two huge blokes using their strength, agility and cunning against each other and may the best ruck win.

Holding the ball should be a simple 1-2 count after you receive the ball and if you're tackled without making a legal disposal after that, it's HTB. If you're tackled within that 1-2 count, it's ball up, regardless of whether you might have had a split second opportunity to get rid of it.

Deliberate out of bounds should only apply when a player kicks, handballs, punches or carries the ball (without it being caused by momentum or a bump/tackle/shove) directly over the line, and not if they have gained territory (say 15m or more toward their goal) for their team.

The only area that would benefit from more officiating is marking contests, with stricter policing of off-ball blocking.
 
Hopefully the bronx cheers the Tigers fans give everytime we get a free kick sends a message to the muppets at muppet HQ.
There was a nice one on Sunday that was quite loud for a reasonably small crowd! Early in the 3rd? The boos at half time were loud too.

I love how the umpiring farce around us has finally, FINALLY been reported on & its happened at a point where its so ridiculous its just funny

I read the stat out to my wife and she just pissed herself laughing. Even more crazy is The Bulldogs have had around +600 better free kick differential as well

How the f has it taken them 5 years to finally report on this? -:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:
