Umpire umpire umpire

[CURLY]

Appalling from start to finish. The moment we wrapped Selwood up spun him 360 no free then tackled again only to see the ball dropped no free. We tackled like possessed men with no reward 85 tackles for basically zero.

Hill legged no free but holding the ball.

Ryder jumps in the ruck free against goal Geelong.

Howard pinned for deliberate when the umpire clearly got the rule wrong.

Rattas mark hit the ground

Ryder in front pays it to Ratta

Just horrendous umpiring from start to end

Hand balling the ball straight over the boundary is a free every time, in any situation, stop embarrassing yourself.

Yes, what he should have done was put it through for a behind and being under pressure that's not a free.

Yep stupid by Howard

Exactly.

Pressure doesn’t matter when it’s the boundary.

[CURLY]

If you pick the ball up close to the line running directly at the line and are tackled it is not a free. You haven’t made a deliberate attempt to get the ball over. Umpires know this is the Rilke.

[The Fireman]

Curly curly curly

Embarrassing

The question is: could we have won the game if the finishing was more polished?

[seano1]

Feel they do need to look at the throws instead of handballing .....and three umpires can’t agree on what’s fifteen

[CURLY]

Yes of course. We could have won the game if our tackling was rewarded.

Learn the rules by the way it’s in there to see.

Absolutely spot on. Boundary umpires need to call it if field umpires are poorly positioned.

This rule is simple, yet they cannot call it.

[B.M]

I would’ve called it deliberate every day of the week

[CURLY]

I would’ve called it deliberate every day of the week

And you’d be incorrect no offence.

No, he's right, as were the umpires.

Again though, a stupid rule that could be easily amended to the standard every other ball sport uses.

Don' t start a new thread Curly on umpiring it wasn't good but we are our own worst enemy kick the goals & the rest takes care of it's self we should have won that game we were better but 9 points before we kicked a goal pretty much sealed our fate

Embarrassing

What were you say last week, Dud?

You lying hypocrite.

Plenty of goal kicking threads go comment there.

If you are that close to the boundary and pick the ball up and are tackled you can dispose of it in a direct line.

Been there done that already

[B.M]

Cannot dispose of the ball directly towards and over the boundary line

Period

I was there and haven’t watched the replay but on the scoreboard it looked like he aimed for the behinds but it deflected off the tacklers arm. Might be wrong but there was an arm in the frame.
