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.

    He hates us and the feeling is very mutual.

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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
