There were 3 goal reviews, all correct decisions, the umpires just called it as they saw it, because believe it or not, they don’t have a dog in the fight!
It’s the clowns like this…
…who continue to embarrass themselves every week with their umpire obsession.
The fact that there are multiple umpiring sooking threads after every week, especially after our best win in a long time, is extremely sad and shows the victim mentality some go thru life with.

Re: Umpiring is corrupt and paid for
But it was marked. The field umpire said it was marked.
Crossing the boundary had nothing to do with the mark. There’s four field umpires and I’ve got no problem if one of them overrules or if the boundary umpire says he was over the line when he marked it.
But in this case it’s the boundary umpire saying “that’s not a mark” and I don’t think that’s appropriate.

Re: Umpiring is corrupt and paid for
You don’t hear what the boundary umpire says but the field umpire says “So he juggled it out? Throw it in then”
This is demonstrably untrue. The ball was firmly in his grasp as he crossed the line.
Now we can all see the mark should not have been paid but it’s not the boundary umpires job and he certainly shouldn’t be exaggerating the situation.

Re: Umpiring is corrupt and paid for
At no point does the boundary ump mention the ball crossing the line, all he tells the field ump is that Arie didn't complete the mark because the ball hit the ground. When the field ump says "juggled out", he is referring to boundary ump saying the ball came out of Aries hands and hit the ground. Once the ball hits the ground it is obviously a throw in so the field ump tells him to throw it in.King Max wrote: ↑Tue 09 Jul 2024 12:06am

Take St Kilda out of it and you (or the AFL) would never want a similar situation deciding a game, so having the boundary ump able to advise the field ump and allow the correct call to be made is an absolute good for the game. I wish they were allowed to assist with other calls like throws. Imagine if the boundary ump saw Webster get smacked and could advise the field umps that high contact occurred

Re: Umpiring is corrupt and paid for
I don’t hear the boundary umpire say anything. Only the field umpire is mic’d up.
I think the talent pool for umpires is spread far enough with four umpires making decisions and you’re suggesting we have 8 of them making decisions.

Re: Umpiring is corrupt and paid for
C’mon Scol, don’t be so naive!
They don’t want correct/fair umpiring, they want umpiring heavily favouring us!
Every 50/50 or lineball call HAS to go our way otherwise it equals cheating.
The umpires used all the resources at their disposal to make a correct decision, and they’re whinging about it because it didn’t favour us!
It’s deranged.

Classic example in our senior game Saturday. An umpire with a long history of going over the top sends our best player off for what can only be described as a football act. The umpire then informs us he has been reported for striking. Both he and the opposition player meet the umpire after the game and both the player and the opponent state there was no strike the opponent was adamant there was no strike and all witnesses said there wasn't even a free kick.
Umpire I know what I saw and you can take 3 weeks or we go to the tribunal.
As all our games are filmed and reviewed the notification comes out that he has been cleared as the tape showed that after he kicked the ball he was bumped and that in fact he should have received a downfield.
Umpire still wants to go to tribunal and isn't happy. Agenda yes.

Curly your campaign on labelling umpires cheats is becoming Tiresome , it’s a delusion you can’t seem to shake off and causes many needless confrontations on here
Did the umps witness the incident at the time it occurred? If not how could they call a free ?

If you are correct and umpiring never influences the outcome of a game why is there a need for umpires.
See the contradiction: once its agreed that a game needs umpires it has to be accepted their decisions have an influence on the outcome and to say otherwise is irrational.
To keep banging on that umpiring has an absolutely neutral impact is analogous to suggesting judges don't influence the outcome of court cases.

Same as the infringement's on Riewoldt in the 2009 GF the umpires made a decision to allow the infringements but then pay one to Ablett.

They do what they think will get them a game when it counts. Upset a big name club and the media is all over it make piss poor calls against a small club nothing.
Look at the Heeney situation right now. Where was the carry on for Max King when he copped a week for far less than Heeney,

Now the central umpire can start a discussion around what people saw but the boundary umpire gets the first call
