Umpiring of MFC games very questionable

Looks like a good time to dust off the old cobwebs....

Does it? This is the most embarrassing thread on Demonland.

We got far more frees for the day but the umpiring was strange, but it has been all round. I think the umps are just getting into form too. 

[Jaded No More 68,916]

We got a good run. Absolutely nothing to see here.

Umm no. We got the rub of the green today. What is it with some MFC supporters always blaming the umpires?

I thought the umpiring standard was sub-par, but we got the better of their poor deliberating today.

Correct.

[biggestred 5,088]

Some of the rules need changing.

Taking the legs should only be feet first.

Deliberate shouldnt be paid if the opposition could have kept the ball in.

Kicking in danger needs to be paid more 

Selwood needs more free kicks.

[SFebes 4,884]

Hmm. Hello Matt Nicholls and umpires again

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Good Kent.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Need to start taking some marks in the forward fifty.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

So dumb by Frost.

[Little Richard 6,262]

This has been the worst umpiring performance I can remember. Absolute disgrace.

2017 numbers: 382 frees for, 384 frees against.

Do you honestly think there's a deliberate biased against the club, or that umpiring is inconsistent and, as supporters, we remember the ones that go against us...

It is NOT the numbers of frees it is where and when they are paid!!

Deserves a good old chat.

Personally I think the whole AFL are corrupt and try to even up games to protect their image of an even competition, but...

Why are we so slaughtered with blatant frees? 

Are we not playing to the rules?

Are we undisciplined?

I seriously question some umpiring decisions in recent seasons, Razor and Matt Nicholls are by far the worst against us. It's very bad and disappointing that one of the games best ruckmen, Gawn, gives up trying when he doesn't know whats happening. We always seem to be on the wrong end of the stick... It's not about totals, its about blatant frees not paid

Couldn't agree more. They have been corrupt for years. A law unto themselves.

Excuse my game day ranting in this thread.

My mistake

Sadly they are a necessary evil. A blight on the game!

We got crucified today by the parasites today, 5-6 frees resulting in goals. Gawn in the ruck nothing and still won by 6 goals. Inaccurate kick for goal cost us a 10 goal victory but I'm not complaining glad to have this pathetic streak put to bed.

[Willmoy1947 4,089]

Bugg showed to day that if the frees are that blatant that they have to give it,  it will be paid. His neck would be very tender tonight.......

Wonder why the umpire was smiling for a second or two after that free was paid to North just before half time though.

If you take out the first 10 minutes, and the ridiculous frees in the 10 minutes, then we did win by 10 goals. Kick straight and it should have been 15 goals. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

There were some shitters today for sure but that's the way it is.

We've just gotta be good enough to win.

Very true BBO. My beef was the tiggy touchwood frees paid today. I thought the nude nut was particularly overzealous.

[loges 6,767]

What about the free where Goldstein looks at his opponent, elbows him in the head, then gets the free for interference.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Ben Brown always gets most of his bag from questionable frees inside 50. Its pity goals for being such an ugly [censored]

How about the free kick against Frisch in the Goal square, it was a legit mark, kenty barely touched him, incredibly frustrating.
