Trading in his maggot whistle for a meth coke life membership? Unbelievably bias for his favourite side

 

 

12 finals but no GF in 376 games indicates the AFL might not have wanted him around much at the business end of seasons

"... he will be retiring following this Sunday’s Round 22 match between Fremantle and the West Coast Eagles to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth"

Words that must strike terror into the collective heart of the Freo footy club.

Remember that time he was banned from umpiring the western derby’s?! 

Who’s the umpire who says “staaaand”?

Could he staaaaand down too?

Those stats don’t do him any favours, you can’t argue with the numbers 

How he was able to Umpire his favourite team on so many occassions is an indictment on the AFL.

Shocking.

 

When's Nichols retiring?

Maybe the AFL asked him what his dream last game to umpire might be and temporarily forgot there might be an issue. 

I reckon he might just blow the pea right out of the whistle this weekend.

Hasn't been announced yet, so not soon enough.

Total muppet and provided a shocking umpiring combo against us yet again.

I admit though he is now more likeable after drawing all the WC fan hate. Like I detest cockroaches but the sad song La Cucaracha makes them kind of likeable for a few minutes.

See ya champ

Margetts was one of the 2015 prelim final umpires where WC beat North. WC 24 frees and North 18. Josh Kennedy got 6 free kicks. I wonder who paid them? 

Now for the rest of them to follow suit. My Old Man says there should be no umpires and a Fair Cheat all round. 

I wish Nicholls would pack it in.

Ist qrt five frees to wc ...one to us.

Second...four frees to wc ...one to us including a howler against rivers for pushing out darling in front of goal....rivers pinkie may have touched him. And a strange insufficient intent.

Second half he wasn't so bad (maybe looked at his stats at halftime)with only a couple more frees to wc but they were pretty much accurate.

His first half was poor....missing a couple of in the backs and htm to us and not paying marks.
