Umpire #24 - Take a bow


Harcourt

Recommended Posts

You are a clown and surely won't be umpiring for a long, long time. Absolutely [censored] house - you are a joke. Why would we be putting it out of bounds deliberately when down by 5 points with 30 seconds to go. Thats just the tip of the ice berg though. You clown - F$#% off and die.

Although the umpires were crap i dont think anyone besides Sadam deserves to die and you must be a kid for saying that

According to Bruce on Ch7, there were SEVEN frees in total for the 2nd half (both sides) up til the free against Neitz. So in a match with little whistle blowing, the last two frees when a match was in the balance seemed inconsistent and perplexing.

not surprised...just upset....if we can make it with a hangover that could kill a cat, the least we can do is post 20K for that game.

very true, the hangover was so bad yesterday my head was as clouded and blank as an umpire's, all the yelling didn't help, saw stars.

but i don't understand the [censored] about people in mcc, you can't say mcc was packed then [censored] about them being/not being members. if there were 2 mfc members between them, one here, then about 3000 mfc members rocked up. fcuking joke

Absolutely sick of PC clowns like you in this world - you probably think we should be kicked out of the stadium for calling umpires white maggots.

Some of the garbage you're written on this site makes it painfully obvious that you're a kid.

The McDonald deliberate call was a terrible decision.

The Neitz push in the back was questionable. Ch 7 only showed it once on the replay, so it's hard to get a good look at it.

Aaron Davey was paid a mark 40m out with 10 mins to go in the last quater where he dived forward, which wasn't even close to being a mark. The umpire was right there, yet still paid it.

Not a good day for the umpires all round. Although I thought it was poor from Daniher to virtually say in the press conference that the umpires cost Melbourne the game.

Port knocked the ball out at least twice, much more clearly deliberately, than McDonalds. That decision cost us our last (very slim) chance of attacking. However have to agree with the other comments, if we had kicked better (i.e up to AFL standard) we would not have been in the position we were, we would have won by a few goals. Lets face it, even if we had won that game, our skills are not up to a level where we could comptete with most AFL clubs. If we ever manage to combine the endeavour we showed yesterday with some decent kicking skills, we will be a force to be reckoned with this year, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting . .

disagree ash i wished we said it more.

hird came out and slagged the umpires then got a golden run for a while. collingwood always slag the umpires off and bring attention to it. the swans whinge about barry halls treatment and he starts getting free kicks. richmond whinged last week.

its about time we complained when we get bad decisions. maybe we'll get a good deal next week...

if only davey had missed, would've saved a bit of pain. not like it was that hard to miss either, 6.20 after half

the umps were [censored] and the loss dissapointing but i got some consolation from byron driving cornes s head 6ft into the mcg turf

Wishing someone to die is different to not thinking Bell and C.J are good players. Grow up. To say for someone to die is just stupid. I dont like umpires, i abuse them at the ground but not once have i thought they should die

It's reported in the news this morning that Daniher, along with 3 other coaches, have been given a "please explain" from the AFL over comments made about umpires from the weekend. All four coaches are looking at fines.

Daniher then comes out last night on Footy Classified and says the umpires didn't cost Melbourne the game, it was your poor finishing in front of goal. That's what I wanted to hear after the game on Sunday.

If your theory is correct, it should make for interesting viewing this week. One of the other 3 coaches in trouble for umpire bashing is Rocket Eade.

Ash, in the press conference as I remember it, Daniher commented about our poor kicking as the reason for our loss. The umpiring came up as a question directed to him. He made a comment that their positioning should have been better, with a particular reference to the Neitz puish in the back

Little harsh to be picking on Neale, when its a common occurance every week that coaches have a go at the umps - i notice that Sheedy got a please explain this week as well, and has been making his comments for years

Occo, I say that i'd kill for a coffee, or that i'm so hungry i could eat a horse, all the time. I mean neither of them. Considering the timing of Harcourt's post straight after the match, I think he's allowed a little bit of venting.

And I don't like when Sheeds does it either.

Despite what all the wannabe umpire killers on here think, bad umpiring or poor decisions very very very rarely directly influence the result of a game. That's why I never understand when coaches whinge about it.

I even think the decisions being talked about from sundays game are being blown out of proportion. The Neitz push was 50/50. Melbourne supporters say "no push", the Port supporters say "definately a push", and people like me who don't barrack for either team say "maybe, maybe not, could have been let go, but in the end it was paid, so be it". It wasn't the worse decision I've seen. That honour went to the deliberate call against J.Mac. But even then, if it wasn't paid, you're looking at a boundary throw in 60m from Ports goal with 38 secs to go. It's hardly the one defining decision that cost Melbourne victory.

I can understand supporters being frustrated, and I think the standard of umpiring is as poor as it has ever been, but nothing is going to change. Walk away from any game of football, and ask both sets of supporters about the umpiring, and both teams supporters will say they got the raw end of the deal.

while they often don't directly effect the game ie free kick gives the winning goal after siren, i think they often have a lot to do with momentum of a team. i couldnt believe how many holding the ball decision weren't paid on sunday, both to melb and PA. but i thought we tackled and harassed very well, moreso than PA, and we weren't rewarded for it.

in regards to the previous post maybe given that both coaches complained the umps will give both sides a fair go and we will get a well umpired match? we can only hope.

to me a well umpired match is one when you walk away and didnt notice the umpires - sort of like when you watch a vfl match. why do the afl umpires have to make so many controversial calls?

Words can not describe how much I hate the white maggots

It is well documented

I have been ejected from the MCG a couple of times for giving them a spray when they come off the ground. And you havent seen a spray until you have seen one delivered by the great Yze_Magic

The public should have access to the umpires personal addresses and phone numbers. If maggots like number 24 are allowed to ruin our day, we should be allowed to ruin theirs

I'm surprised there wasn't a full-scale field-invasion after the Neitz free kick from half of the crowd on Sunday, such was the vehemence of the Demon faithful. In close games, there are plenty of moments that contribute to the end result, but it is the last key moment that has the final bearing on the result. In this case, the final two moments were David Neitz getting crucified for a completely inconsisent and incorrect decision, and a comical deliberate against James McDonald. Sure, we could have kicked straighter, but so could Port. If the old St. George kick-o-meter was still displayed on the scoreboard, I doubt many of our behinds would have had a greater than 50% chance of going through, whereas the Powers missed a lot more gettable chances.

ash the thing that got me and those directly around me was that they didnt pay the one to neitz earlier

also wakelin drops the ball and falls forward i more think neitz arm follows more than pushes him, but his arm is there and the ump would have got a split second to decide and if it was the other way round i would have been [censored] if he didnt pay it

Thank you IWAP, obviously I was venting. This is PC gone mad once again - they won't stop until they have completed their mission to ruin the world.

after having to stop harcourt climbing the fence at the end of the game im a little tired.....he was f@#$ing shocking.

What is with the turnout? what p!ss weak supporters we have.....17K....what a joke. MCC packed, probably 5 members between them.

petterd was fantastic though...going to be a star.

The turnout is not all that difficult to understand. Count the Port supporters there, perhaps a couple of hundred? If every single Melbourne member had turned up we still wouldn't have got 30,000 through the gate.

If we were playing another Melbourne side there would have been 30,000 there and not a single extra Melbourne supporter would have been needed to get that number.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
