Demonsterative

Ok, I’m out after this. It’s going nowhere! Complaining about (perceived) complaining, is still complaining.

Including yourself!

The Croms were robbed a finals game/experience from a poor goal umpiring decision last year. Given the Croms had not played finals for long time, the stage of their list development, it was kinda important and very wrong. This wasn’t given the air time Lachie Neal received today for peck on the cheek to Abbey.

Is it moaning? Or discussing the issue?

Fully agree. Start a new thread on this issue. Not the case in point with adjudicating the game on game day

Yes.

Until the change occurs, people will complain! Don’t minimise people’s frustration and expressing it by blaming the fundamentals of the game. #onceagainitsfrustrating

Let’s not confuse poor game play with poor umpiring decisions. Two different issues.

I think you are not fully understanding the issue here demon3615 (I say with complete respect!!) I am expressing frustration about how the laws of this game are interpreted and adjudicated both on and off the field. I rarely watch games other than watching the Dees. I get my bias here with our club. I don’t watch other games because I believe I can sit back and see fault in how the umpires get too many decisions wrong and can see inconsistencies. I could not give a rats about decisions going my way watching a team I don’t give a rats about

Aaaand, it’s never an even playing field. #againfrustratungtowatch

I’ll take this site out of the equation. I speak to many people about how this game is adjudicated on and off field. I hear from many supporters who support other clubs. There is a consistent narrative about the frustration about the law makers and law enforcers, and how this game is now frustrating to watch. Umpires focussing on a particular rule and announcing (the most recent) holding the ball rule. Why has this changed mid season. Reeks of inconsistency within a season #frustratingwatching

Case in point “No matter how good a game is umpired” implies inconsistencies.

Be more consistent in their adjudication of the game. Don’t have one rule to focus on each week. Apply all rules equally each week. Simples

I think the solution is easy. Be better at your craft umpires. There are four on field now

I thought the guys were on a 6 day break? Was there a training session?

Out = supporter vitriol. In = calm heads I’ll see myself out the 🚪 😬😬

Apparently the club took heed to last weeks issues and the boys are getting a mani and pedi as we speak. The bookies are worried about being out of pocket after seeing the red and blue nail polish being delivered by Uber. 🤭

I wonder if there is a stat for the quality of kicks for goal. Just like the MFC, getting the ball into the fwd 50 line is not enough. It’s not about being able to kick for goal but more about the forwards having clear range at goal. @binman

It’s seems Deever under estimates length. Poor fella. Must have self esteem issues 😳😳😂😂

I kicked goals further out than 30 meters today 🥱

To me, this looks like a strong team on paper. The game plan and out of form players worry me..

I think it was your plan!

It seems Verrall has his calf strapped and Fullarton is being given more time in the ruck. BBB sharing the load.

Sestan has beautiful skills. Exactly the fwd/mid we need playing AFL.

Smacca some very nice moments. great mark and goal. Was the first link in the chain leading to the Kentfield goal.
