Re: AFL must explain Eleni
Get over it I say. She made a few errors and yes a few howlers as well, but so do most of the second and third tier umps every week. If she doesn't make good decisions then she'll be relegated again and if she continues to show that she can't handle the pressure then I don't think the AFL will allow her to continue.
I reckon at times today that the umps that were further away from the action were overuling her and perhaps that makes her lose confidence and she starts second guessing.
We mostly had a good run from the maggots in the first half and like always they tried to even up the numbers in the second half. I can never figure out why they think that two wrongs will somehow make a right but I understand that it looks better on the stat sheet if the frees are close to even.

The concept of gender quotas is idiotic and not to mention a dangerous folly, promoted by idiotic new wave feminists.

Re: AFL must explain Eleni
What a pathetic thread.
Was hardly a terribly umpired game, with only a few howlers which were a number of the umps.
And if you’re claiming Mundy was swung 720 degrees by Carlisle then you are outright lying. And you want credibility in judging some else’s performance![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
And let’s not overlook that Ross was swung 360 degrees in a better tackle half way through the last and that wasn’t paid either. Funny how no one is talking about that![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
A number of poster went into the game with an agenda to attack her no matter what. This thread is no surprise.

We have had a competence issue with Umpires for some time and yet the AFL wants to dilute any talent even further, by playing absurd new wave feminist politics.
By giving a woman an opportunity, they're potentially increasing the talent pool by 50%.
She's not the worst in the caper, and even if she was - it'd probably be about a 2% decrease in performance across the umpiring department at worst.
So a tiny short term hit to performance, with the potential for enormous gain in the future.

Problem is you don’t ask for the other two umpires to be taken to task, and they were worse today.
You probably don’t even know the other two umpires names. Simply because blend into the established group.
So your male or female opener doesn’t hold. There’s a natural bias because she is recognisable and what’s worse for some people, different.

Give me the best.
I don’t believe she’s the best.
Proof is in the pudding this year.
Everyone (being all teams supporters) say she is terrible.
Doesn’t that tell you something?

Based on very clear evidence she is by far THE worst umpire that has umpired stkilda games this year BY FAR

Re: AFL must explain Eleni
We need to start winning more games so we don’t play sundays
Play sundays you get the Sunday umpires. Play Friday and Saturday nights, we’ll the AFL don’t put under performing umpires in those time slots.
And for all on here saying the umpiring wasn’t ‘that bad’ there were 18000 saints supported who collectively booed off the umpiring group even after a win.....can’t be all wrong

Good one. Not sure how you are still posting.
Your post should have you banned for life from this site. Incredibly inflammatory about a person in the game.

Have to agree with you. There's much wrong with the game/umpiring these days, but yesterday wasn't any better or worst than any other week. The ball moves so fast these days.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sun 11 Aug 2019 11:07pm What a pathetic thread.

However, if they had of thought a little better about delivery into the 50, or improved the handballing over their heads behind them (looks great when it works, but geez) and losing the ball, we'd have won by 40 - 50 points, and Eleni wouldn't even be a subject today. Not to say that it isn't part of some agenda

Re: AFL must explain Eleni
When Dunstan got smashed before taking the ball the commentators all said that has been a free in every other game this year. So why not to Dunstan? Clear view no one in the way the umpire chose to ignore it.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sun 11 Aug 2019 11:07pm What a pathetic thread.

Mundy was also a free.
The Dunstan in the back again impossible to miss.
When the Freo player was tackled dropped the ball and one umpire awarded us a free and Eleni over ruled and paid high that was also a blatant mistake.

Re: AFL must explain Eleni
I don't think there's been a game where everyone goes home happy with the umpiring. There are s*** calls/non-calls every week and yesterday was no exception. I wonder whether there would still be the same amount of vitriol directed towards Eleni if she happened to be a bloke instead? Doubt it...

Re: AFL must explain Eleni
They more often than not let these go, especially if they get good hands on it. The ones that peeve me though, are the ones where a player has it for a micro second and gets pinged, or on the other hand changes direction or takes a couple of steps and doesn't get pingedSpecial wrote: ↑Mon 12 Aug 2019 11:27amI reckon it was one and half turns so 540 degrees.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 12 Aug 2019 9:53amCorrect maths Saynta but the example you are referring to only had one circle in it. 720 ÷ 2 = 360saynta wrote: ↑Sun 11 Aug 2019 11:48pm2 x circles 720 degrees.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Sun 11 Aug 2019 8:55pm360 degrees, just a very wide arc.saynta wrote: ↑Sun 11 Aug 2019 7:56pm From afl.com.au
