Umpiring

[Serenitylater]

everyone in the media suddenly hates the stand rule

remember when they used to sing its praises ?

They hate it now because Richmond are not a threat.
But loved it when we still were.

This is weird. The umpiring is actually really good so far

 

[tigerisland]

What the hell

Beware of umps bearing gifts,

Much prefer this HTB interpretation. Prior opportunity got distorted into "prior opportunity to survey the situation, evaluate using a spreadsheet, check your calculations and then choose the best option".

most enjoyable football watching experience for ages, I'm sure it's a coincidence

 

[McTiger]

Great to see umpiring back to it's usual crap after halftime.

 

[McTiger]

And so good that Campbell's tackle is not rewarded.

 

[Jogger72]

Now completely don’t understand HTB. Four paid against us were odd.

What the hell

Common sense prevailed in the second half and we lost 20-19 of course

Yes, it was like belonging in a parallel universe in the first half.

Was that not predictable? Of course we’re up 3-10 and lose 20-19.

Wouldn’t have changed the result but you just knew it was going to happen.

Also holding the ball is a disgrace now. We had three or four against us where the player was tackled immediately after taking possession and was pinged. All that will do is discourage going for the ball. The sport is ****ing cooked, they have no idea what they’re doing.

I said to myself at half time ‘just watch Geelong will get all the free kicks in the second half.’

And I wasn’t wrong. [emoji57]

Umps got some “positive reinforcement” from shocking in the umpires box

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Hocking and McBurney confirmed the umps were umpiring with insufficient intent at halftime.

They were paying so many dropping the ball decisions in other games but for some crazy reason they were more leanient tonight.

 

[smasha]

Steve Hocking took the microphone at the second half.

The umpiring did a uturn.

 

[Tiger V]

the umps got a please explain letter from Hocking at half time.

Even the commentators noted that it was dangerous for a defender to grab the ball in congestion. The cats forwards were aware of the umpiring and at times seemed happy to ignore the ball and make the tackle. Maybe they had inside information on how the HTB was going to be implemented

This is the thing. It seems like the player who goes for the ball in the scrimmage and gets immediately tackled also gets penalized. Richo says that this is the new rule. What new rule?

It's as though the umpires had dyslexia and were paying frees to the Tigers that they thought were going to Geelong

It's the shorts. Game was played in Geelong so the umps were looking for the away team wearing the white shorts.

Got explained to them at half time.

Umpiring didn't influence the result of the game (Geelong), but we were awarded the frees we earned in the first half. I've not seen that for years, and I'm sure the players noticed. It feels REALLY strange saying "We had the rub of the green" in that half. We even had a gift or two.

Normal programming after half time. But the Umpires proved they CAN pay us the frees that ARE there...

 

[Bojangles17]

Has been pretty reasonable in recent weeks , amazing the difference being treated like human beings makes , imo conceding an additional 15-20 free kicks is like 4-5G advantage to the opponent

 

[skinnyP]

We'd be top of the ladder if we had the same treatment from the umpires that essendon are getting right now.
