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

    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.

    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...”

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
