In the past 5 years, Geelong have never lost a game when either Andrew Stephens (12 games) or Nathan Willamson (10 games) have officiated.

In 11 Brisbane games Simon Meredith has umpired, the Lions have had a 72.7% winning rate.

Melbourne boasts its strongest winning percentage when Andrew Stephens is officiating, winning 76.9% of games. The Dees have won 68.8% with Ray Chamberlain

GWS have a winning % of 80 with Dean Margetts.

The dogs have a 72.7% winning rate with Chris Donlon

Port Adelaide win 90% with Leigh Haussen umpiring but only 36.4% with Jeff Dalgleish.

Power have won 66.7% of their games when Ray Chamberlain had the whistle.

Sydney has won 80% of their games under either Hayden Gavine and Andre Gianfagna.

* These stats are for the last 5 years with a minimum 10 games umpired. No mention of West Coast and Margetts!

    Hopefully the git has been spoken to.

    Not sure if the same umpire but the one they didn't pay against Sellwood was just as bad - he had one single intention - putting the ball out of play - remarkable he got away with it particularly given the circumstances

    What a ridiculous thread and completely silly time to bring up the notion of umpire bias...

    It's like you're daring the Red Fox.

    Any qualifiers here? Do some umpires tend to officiate more often at certain venues, such that an existing home-ground advantage is already in play? I note that most of the clubs mentioned are non-Melbourne based.

    Incidentally, these stats are meaningless.  They are correlative not causative.  The percentage victories of the team has little to do with the umpire designated to that game.  It would be more value to review the number of free kicks, or differential, per team compared to average of all umpires officiating that team.  This would begin to expose any *unconscious* bias.

    The central controlling umpire at the time was Stevic. He didn't call Gus's "indescretion" same as he didn't call Selwoods. 

    Fleer was the forward umpire who should never have even made the call against Gus, as it wasn't in his controlling area ( apart from being blatantly wrong).

    This post is probably fifty five percent correct.

    Don't mind Razor, usually pays 1 howler a game but other than that he's pretty solid.

    No idea. There was an aricle on Fox footy about it.

    It doesn' t mean anything of itself. It simply looks at the numbers. It doesn't claim there is bias or otherwise. Just presenting facts.

    I've always loved Donlan Chamberlain and FLeer.

    My favourite umpires in the whole world (in case they are reading...)

    Because he set-up our win!

    Anyone know of a good interview with an umpire about the pressure and public recognition they might get? Must be intense, and often confrontational.

    Hoping Razor Ray’s Melbourne %age goes to over 70 tonight.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
