Who would be your preferred umpires on Friday?

For me, the two guys who umpired the West Coast game we’re pretty good in the end - they didn’t let the home crowd get to them

No, don't waste them ... we need them for the prelim in Perth

 

 

Dicky Bird

Robin Bailache

Steve Bucknor

at least will be fair

 

Anyone but Nicholls. He’s a plague on humanity that stupid blind [censored].


Those from our last two weeks, thought overall both games were umpired fairly and quite consistently.

 

Nicholls, if the umpiring department is serious, should be on holiday in Bali for the month

Not those pieces of Schmitt, Pannell, Margetts, Nicholls or Chamberlain. 

I actually don't mind Razor.  Despite his theatrics his decision making is usually pretty spot on.  His low five with Gus was pretty funny too!

Not Schmutt. He's a show pony and a boofhead. Wallace.... no no no no. Neither Nicholls nor Chamberlain either. We want the umpire with the slightest scintilla of decency and humanity and feel for the game. Whichever that one is , we want him.


Nicholls and Pannell are two of the worst umpires of all time they do my head in .However l don't mind Chamberlain, ( Razor Ray) because of the friendship he has with Angus Brayshaw.   haha.

Wouldn’t mind having Rodan as one of the goal umps and seeing him give a cheeky grin for each of our 20 goals.

Oh I like this!

I can't name the ones I want because I don't know their names. That's how it should be. I only know the names of the ones I hate.

I think Shmitt  has been ok for us this year No Nichols no Chamberlain


If we get Nicholls you know we won't be winning. Have we won a game he has umpired since Maxy got the 'what did you do that for'?

Honestly couldn’t care less who the umpires are. Hope it’s Nicholls, Chamberlain and Pannell just for a bit of entertainment in seeing you all get wound up, because at the end of day it will not make a lick of difference.

Funny how you get on a site sometimes and make a statement that you rue putting into the ether, ahh well.......

Nah, I’m pretty happy with it. Here’s how it will go down:

1) the umpires will make a number of very borderline decisions and a few blatantly wrong ones, because our game is hard to umpire and our umpires are part timers

2) there will be one or two very controversial ones that directly create goals. If they go against us, it means they’ve been orchestrated by the AFL to ensure Geelong win

3) Any free paid against us by Nicholls or one of the other high profile umps is just further proof that they hate us.

4) if we win, the umpiring will be forgotten in an instant. If we lose it’s “We’re not blaming the umpiring, but...”

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
    Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
