Who would be your preferred umpires on Friday?

[DeezNuts 624]

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

Dicky Bird

Robin Bailache

Steve Bucknor

[Wiseblood 24,637]

As long as it's not that tip rat Nicholls, then we'll be alright.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,965]

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

[Lord Travis 10,763]

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

[John Demonic 5,850]

Umpire I Dont Give A Duck

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

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

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!

[pineapple dee 2,892]

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.

[Redleg 41,420]

73, you heard it here first.

[nosoupforme 3,085]

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.

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

[Roger Mellie 4,102]

ABN - Anyone but Nicholls

[Nasher 33,617]

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.

[Clintosaurus 7,861]

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'?

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...”
