Opinion Why do the umpires dislike us?

[bickley26]

I am fairly impartial when it comes to umpires but I have really had enough of us continually being on the wrong side of ledger in free kicks .... Is it us ? Is it the way we play? Or do the umpires dislike us?

 

[The_Big_Ship]

They love the Hawks that's for sure.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Careful it's umpire appreciation round

Embarrassing thread, take it down

Perhaps he learned from Umpire McLaren?

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Bunch of pansies... The Umps can go and get fired for all I care. Bring in some novices from the lower leagues, I'm sure they'd do a better job.

 

[OzSparrow]

Umps hate interstate clubs succeeding in the VFL (sorry) AFL. Edict direct from Vlad (with an exemption provided for Sydney clubs)

Bend over and spread them!

I am so sick of being screwed by these guys week in and week out.

I need something to hit.

 

[Coopers]

There was a leigh colbert mark that wasn't paid 20 odd years ago.

Therefore, the crows get an easy ride.


Also our administration would never, ever think of discussing this with the AFL, so why not?

 

[Caramelas13]

We are paying for it due to the Tippett saga. AFL have black listed us.

He should be banned from umpiring all games.
Carlton have been shafted by him against West Coast in Perth more than once.
It's about the game not him getting his ugly head sighted

Razor Ray just wanted to blow the whistle today. He didn't care who it was for. There was a period in the second quarter there where he paid about three of four cheapies to us in a row in the forward line. We didn't capitalise too well.

There were two absolute howlers from him in the last quarter. One was obviously the Thompson one, the other was the holding the ball that went in or favour right in front of goals. That ball was not even under the Hawthorn player - in fact you could see exactly where it was from Ray's angle. He was just hellbent on paying a holding the ball. The man is a menace.

One more thing - and this is something I've been harping on for a LONG time. Our guys are terrible at drawing the cheap frees, especially around stoppages. And secondly, it was obvious Razor and his team of clowns were paying even the most ridiculous hands in the back frees today - so, just don't use your hands. Use your hips, your arse, your waist - anything, just not your hands.

Our guys did not adjust and again they paid the price.

The umpiring is terrible but there is no anti Crows bias. We are just not enterprising enough to capitalise on the stupidity and I am really sick of posting about it.

They dont like this either.

Yeah, the umpires are sufficiently confused now too.

If your boss was Giesch, you would be confused too.

If my boss was Giesch id be a maggot

Don't know about that. I reckon Hawthorn are the one team that has been consistently destroyed by the umpires even more than the Crows - though that seems to fly out the window whenever the two teams play

In any event, there is already a thread about umpiring decisions, so this one is a bit superfluous. Closed.
