Our 13 goal quarter was ruined by the goal line review!

I like Chelsea and I hope she learns to be more assertive. I don't think its a sex issue but a personality issue. She lets the pesky blokes give her too much grief.

What rot. Any umpire in the same position expressing some uncertainty, the field umpire would do the same thing, call for a review. There's no issues relating to sex or personality.

Another possible element: the other umpires (subconsciously) don't respect her decisions as much because of her gender, and feel more free to butt in.

Give me a break, what a load of rubbish

i disagree. I feel she has an above average number of reviews and needs to be more assertive. Field umpires screw things up.

Anyone remember a game against the bulldogs in 2010 when Scully got 39 possessions and we lost by about 9 points and there were three calls on the goal umpire that cost us 3 goals. It's happened to us before.

Its the review system that needs review. Ms Roffey is just another umpire, and most of the time you don't notice her.

That third decision was inexplicable - she seemed to think it was a goal. The video showed it was, but it wasn't great vision on Fox, so perhaps there's a case for doubt. But to suggest there was conclusive evidence to overturn her call was really surprising.

Still, its swings and roundabouts. It evens out eventually. Perhaps one will go our way when we need it more.

Rule 8.2.4 d

Goal Umpire Unsure

If a goal Umpire is unsure whether the football crossed the Goal or Behind Line, or is Out of Bounds; the goal Umpire shall seek the assistance of the Field and boundary Umpires. If the correct decision cannot be determined following consultation, the goal Umpire shall give the lesser score.

In each of these cases the goal umpire did not ask for assistance, rather the useless maggot butted in and bullied her into allowing the video review.

IMVHO this amounts both to breaches of the laws of the game by officious field umpires, AND workplace bullying.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
