Umpire Nick Foot
We have this ump, he wears #2, look out for him.
St Peter (a poster that I haven't seen for ages) had posted last year on 1 July, after our Carlton game, that Foot is horrible to us.
He reckons he has an agenda.
That Blues game, frees were 9-21.
And there was one shite incident where Highmore took a mark, and was tackled by Harry McKay before Foot called play on, and instead of awarding us 50m, just told Highmore to 'reset'.
St Peter said he'd kept a lot of records of Foot's umpiring in our games and it was damning.
Curly chimed in (of course) and a few others, besides.
Maybe having a 4th ump will mask his influence- the ones he misses should be picked up by the others

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
Was that when St Peter claimed in a certain match Foot supposedly gave 9 free kicks against us and none to us in a half?
The replay of said match was watched by a Saintsational poster (not the Dud) who pointed out that the information posted by St Peter was factually incorrect and totally fabricated.
Hey St Peter, before you ring your bell
Just been down in Nick Foot town
It really feels like hell
It really feels like HELL
We are + #42 free kicks for the season and the same posters who used the free kick disparity last season as proof of umpire bias against us, now state it’s not the quantity it’s where and when they are paid or the 50/50 frees don’t go our way.
Some whining supporters never know when they are on a good thing.

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
Yes I think that was the post.
He also said that in one game vs Tigers, Foot gave Tiges 9 frees within 30m of goal.
Go figure

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
So one poster made a claim about an umpire which was supposedly refuted by another poster. Wow! This is really damning evidence!
I don’t know whether it’s bias or not, but I my intuition tells me that umpire Foot hasn’t done us too many favours over the years either.

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
Love a good pre-whinge about the umpiring
Confirmation bias? Nah never heard of it!
Umpired in the Crows game, in Adelaide, which we lost by 9 goals, yet still the free kick count was 18-14 our way…
Damn you Nick Foote, got us again!!

All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
Known to you and St Peter.
We are + #42 this year to date and you are still bitching and moaning about bias and cheating against us
Pretty sure Mr Foot had a bad break up with St Peters sister or something similar.
What is unknown is why he has fabricated his stories around the 9 to 0 free kick match.

I haven't commented on Nick Foot for some time as I thought the last couple of times he has officiated at our matches he has shown a much fairer approach.
But I can assure you that previously there were some remarkable stats.
I am not alone in my observations.

Re: Umpire Nick Foot
That was where I first noticed umpire Foot and after the match I came home from the MCG and watched the replay in disbelief as to what I had seen at the game.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Fri 07 Jul 2023 9:04am Yes I think that was the post.
He also said that in one game vs Tigers, Foot gave Tiges 9 frees within 30m of goal.
Go figure
I can assure you those stats were correct and there many others who made the same observation that day.
It would be quite some years ago now and probably near the start of Nick's AFL umpiring career.
I seem to remember Jack Riewoldt benefitted from Foot's generosity to his team and kicked quite a few.
