Post subject: Umpiring v. Essendon | |
|
How do you feel about the umpiring in todays game?
Essendon fans upset on social media and on talkback radio.
17-27 in our favour.
Many complaints about the ones that were not paid. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned!

some poor calls on both sides, I would have to rewatch the game to determine if we got the best of the bad ones |

Well, De Goey took a clear mark in the last that wasn't paid.
Seemed to me the Bombers fans were crying because of the differential, not actual decisions. Didn't notice too many howlers that went against them. _________________ Well done boys! |

And altho not a free, the "man in front" given to the Essendon player when Mihocek clearly took the mark and was the actual man in front.... _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

we seemed to get the rub of the green in the first quarter. I think the 10 free differential was opened up early and then it was even through the final three quarters. There were a lot of wierd decisions. Obvious frees not paid and then some dubious ones paid.
I think the umpires were affected by injury too. The emergency umpire had to finish the game as one of the umps did his calf. Interestingly, it was the emergency umpire who made some of the dodgy calls. I wonder if the emergency umpire is next cab off the rank or just a developing ump. He wasn't very good.
Isn't it awesome that now the other team is the team complaining about the umpiring and we get to enjoy the wins! _________________ Ohhh, the Premiership's a cakewalk ....... |

When the numbers are against you, everything looks like a bad decision, so you start howling for anything even when its clearly not a free. Can understand why the Bombers fans got upset, but didn't think the umpiring was too bad, Essendon just gave away more dumb frees than we did. _________________ Well done boys! |

The count was even after half time (I didn't check earlier), so it's not what won us the game.
The touch call on the line and Stephenson's goal being taken away are two contentious ones directly affecting the score that didn't go our way in the first half. Then we have Mihocek marking next to an opponent and the DeGoey non mark in the last. |

Nah, we had a good day at the office for free kicks today.
We were owed about 6 weeks worth though.
The problem is the umps are paying more free kicks because they don’t want ball ups. Hence the knee jerk reaction that comes with following the directive, even when the free kicks aren’t there. |

We got the better of the umpiring? Good - we deserve it for the rest of the year and if we make a grand final for about 20 in a row thanks. Then the opposition can complain

Free kicks —-once in a blue moon we get the rub of the green
Even out of bound thieves have robbed us in the past
No for mine it just goes toward squaring up years of theft _________________ I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right |

We got screwed in the third when the umpires came out to try and even it up
First half we got a good run but nothing wrong. They got less free kicks but a lot more in front of goal.
Last qtr was ok, other than the non mark to JDG but coming soon after Cox got a soft one and I think we goaled from the throw in anyway after getting a HTB free.
As for emergency umpire, not usually development, they are on AFL list and can often be regulars rotated out

The umpiring all season has been poor.
Don't know how they can complain, most of them were there & they missed some. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
