Umpiring rants ~ receive our scorn

Really really bad tonight! Worst I’ve seen I think.
Was very one sided- then even paid us a few they shouldn’t have.

Too may rule changes.
There always have to be a couple each year to fix some perceived issue in the game.

And too many open to interpretation.

Hows the blatant blocks on Moore.

And the commentators banging on about the dogs player done for dissent, but not a word for the bs one against us.

Whoever said it in the match thread was spot on. This new rule is having the opposite effect.

People are hating the umpires more, not respecting them more. The morons in the AFL who thought censorship is the answer only need to look and how the world laughs at North Korea, the PRC and Russia.

I hate watching footy now. It's awful. Feel sorry for the players.

I hate watching as well.. i particularly have dissent for umpires and the AFL even more. the heavy handed suppression of player conduct control is not in the DNA of the game i used to love. The AWFL is a terrible product of higher society rule. Interpretation of new rules are simply not actioned by the umpires consistently and just when you think the game your watching is settled in by the playing teams the umpires move in to take control and determine momentum and theres not a god dam thing anyone can do about it except not watch the tripe anymore.

and someone needs to take the microphone and jam it up the maggots arses so far in all we can hear is their colon grumble rather than stand stand stand and "look at me everyone".

No doubt these rules are driving the public to hate AFL umpires even more.

And Brad Scott. An uber dud who is well out of his depth.

Very One Sided last Night

FREE KICK BULLDOGS

Ch7 coverage is always entertaining in their bias. On ANZAC Day every Collingwood free kick in the first qtr they’d flash up the free kick count, didn’t see it again for most of the game as Essendon got about 17 free kicks in a row…

Yet again last night, it’s first appearance was when Collingwood somehow got in front 4-3, find that hard to believe, but I turned off at qtr time so no idea if it continued for the rest of the game…

Anyone want to defend it?

Has been horrendous.
Early on it wasn't too bad tbh, especially in the conditions... But from about half time onwards we have been shafted.

Terrible, we have been on the bad end of some shit umpiring this year.

Did their best to get Adelaide over the line, but just not up to it.

It's like when we get a bad run the opposition get 5-6 goals from directly umpire impacted decisions. The Taylor Walker holding the ball against us when he had the ball in his arms was worthy of a royal commission. The 50 metres? Well that was Gestapo esque
