Re: Umpires!!!
They are paying the soft ones one way. The problem is we are also giving the umps the chance to pay themMunga wrote:Haven't minded the umps tonight. I'd rather they let it go than pay soft ones

Re: Umpires!!!
To be honest I didn't think the umpiring was too bad tonight, there was just way too much of it. Would have been good to have longer stretches of play with the whistle put away

Re: Umpires!!!
I thought we might have got the better of it in the second half....a rarity.
The first half decisions seemed to go against us though.

Re: Umpires!!!

Re: Umpires!!!
Yep pretty ordinary considering - but we need to start to be smarter to start highlighting the obvious frees.fugazi wrote:How many frees missed, marks not paid, soft Dogs frees given??
What do we have to do to earn a 50M???
Bruce and Membrey should be complaining after every marking contest.

Re: Umpires!!!
Its hard not be biaised but the continued umpiring calls that go against us are an issue and have already cost 1 possibly 2 games this year. Somehow it needs to be addressed before we start playing finals again?stonecold wrote:HONESTLY, WHO GIVES A FLYING FIRETRUCK?????

Re: Umpires!!!
Given that we'd be sitting in the top 8 if it wasn't for poor uniting I give a f***. The Hawks game was blatant cheating and the North game was just biased.stonecold wrote:HONESTLY, WHO GIVES A FLYING FIRETRUCK?????

We need to address the imbalance in games that we win - otherwise it smacks of excuse making.Saint_J wrote:we won who cares!
The 50 against Joey - did not need to be paid
Gresham hands in the back - if only that got paid each week
Roos - non fifty - we got the goal anyway - but imagine the outcry if we had not.

Re: Umpires!!!
Good performance by the umpires. They let a bit go, which is fine (it was umpired like a final), better than over officiating.

Re: Umpires & WB media darlings
The WB media darlings have been getting the better of the umpiring for years - even back to the Waverley days.
Yet their crowd always spend the whole game booing
Agree in general though, Saints seem to be on the pointy end of the umpiring mostly. Better to address it after a win.

Re: Umpires!!!
I honestly thought the three stooges where given brand new whistles at half time. Boy, didn't they love blowing them for all they were worth in the 3rd quarter!
