Umpires

[CURLY]

Carlton v Essendon umpires let everything go. Everyone saying it was well umpired. If it was it means they choose to dish the s*** up that we cop.

[Eastern]

Yes. They even let that Garlett non/goal go without a review in the 1st Q !!

Issues. Please check them out.

And they lost by 5 points. What if that happened to us? Just imagine the thread about it on here.

[Greg T]

I wouldn't have been happy with some of the ones they let go,
But they let them go all nite, except the s*** 50 at the end...

Agree with CURLY and plugger66.
let's get these umpiring issues checked out.

[WellardSaint]

Halfway thru the last quarter, the commentators said "total frees so far- 15" that was the total !
There shoulda been a dozen droppin the ball, and several in-the-back that were ignored, one mark where the guy clearly pushed from behind and the ump was 13m away AND on the perfect angle behind, he was in the frame and saw 100% but chose to pay the mark. Unbelievable.

Yes the Garlett 'point' should have been a goal viewing the replay
Think that was made up for by the Betts 'goal' where his foot looked over the goal line while kicking it thru - definite point IMO

So what's the verdict was it well umpired? People on Big Footy and SEN are full if prrise for the umpiring yet it was nothing like what we've seen.

How mant times can you say the same line before it is similar to what we have seen? Issues.

No it wasn't not at all. The umpires clearly changed there mindset for last nights game.

Ive read that as well from you. Keep going. There are more lines we can all read again.

[CURLY]

You cant answer Plugger because you know Im right. Last nights game was apparently umpired brilliantly. Which means the s*** they dish up has to be deemed as poor.

Because like I have said to you many times, you see things in black and white. There is no grey. Games are umpired differently because all games are different and secondly most people watch games not involving your team through 2 eyes.

I unlike you would hardly know if the game is umpired differently because I dont watch the umpires, I watch the game and its amazing how you hardly notice them doing it that way.

[CURLY]

All the talk back has been loaded with people saying how they let it go and how much better the game was. More frees to North last week than in the entire game last night.

Yep and so whats your point? Different game, different umpires and so on. Is there a set rule on how many frees in a game?

[CURLY]

There clearly is no rules. Its interpretations and as we have seen they are much different in our game.

[st.byron]

Keep up the good work Plugger. These threads are making me laugh now.

Another umpire who wont concede the truth or admit they are wrong.

Yes, that's what I thought watching it on TV, but he might have got one millimetre of boot to the ball before all of the ball crossed the line. Those ones are forgivable, but the other one was not, especially when a review system is available. There was also a stupid waste of time with a boundary umpire who initially signalled it had gone through for a point and then, well, I don't know why it was reviewed. The best solution to poor goal umpiring decisions (and I don't always blame the goal umpire) is to have two goal umpires at each end. It means that they only have to cover 6.4 metres rather than 19.2 metres and unless they are blind, can always tell whether the ball has hit a post, which (as we know all too well) is the biggest boo boo possible.

I agree that Carlton supporters are entitled to squeal, not that they need any excuse.

[noob]

This week is the team king of free kicks so expect another lopsided tally

[terry smith rules]

I agree that Carlton supporters are entitled to squeal, not that they need any excuse.

No way, there were some shocking non decisions to Essendon, one 30metres out from goal was quite simply a marking infringement and had to be paid.

I am with some here, you cannot change interpretations week to week. It reeks of pressure from outside on the umpires which then brings into question the integrity of their jobs.

If it is a free kick, pay it, I don't care if there are 80 free kicks a game if they are there pay them.

To say that only having 15 free kicks is well umpired, then it is well umpired by omission, the omission of umpiring to the laws of the game.

[stevie]

If the same umpires are f****** each week then it's only logical the games with the better umps are better umpired.

[8856brother]

Umpiring, and Melbourne, remain the 2 biggest concerns for the AFL at the moment.

The price of a hot pie would come in a close third.

The thread title would be "THE plugger66 LYNCH MOB" !!
