Public attention this weekend regarding umpires

[jonesy]

It's that time of year again. The west coast game

Starting lubing up, we're about to be fisted by the umpires. Of course there is nothing in it but, just a coincidence, of 20 odd years, move along , nothing to see here....

[Sainter_Dad]

And watch out for our forwards to be concussed and no further action taken.

[The Fireman]

watch out for many missed goals that the umpires will have no control over.

[The_Dud]

Free kicks were 23-16 our way against Freo there earlier this year.

We will get smashed everywhere because we are playing the top team on their home turf.

[WellardSaint]

geez. Went last year.
NJB gets pushed in the back by a bearded homeless guy, who looks at the ump guiltily,
like a naughty school kid who just got caught doin somethin...

Can't forgive nor forget, the filthy green phlegms

[jonesy]

This thread is not about goal kicking, Freo(wtf?), Grant Thomas, Matt finiss, junction oval,the coriolis effect!

It's about the fact for the last 22 years at least we get murdered by the umpires against West coast, and it will happen again this weekend. Nothing more, nothing less, just facts.

Well, I will record the stats. Them are the facts, Jonesy boy, just like I will every week , every year, every tear, until we get a fair go.

Umpires won't make a difference to this game.

Comparisons are all on the AFL site right now, mr factsnstats - and Richmond are getting the worst treatment from umpires by a country mile!

[chico2001]

I cant see the point of dragging out uneven umpiring stats verses the Eagles,that's just whingeing for the sake of it. Talk about match-ups, who's gunna do what, how many will Gresham kick etc

just quote raw data.
Richo quotes lots of numbers, like F50 entries.
Ignores the fact that most entries are just bomb it in like Auskick.
Most clubs make room in the f50 and spot up a lead.
You can quote numbers all you like, but it's a smokescreen unless we see detail.

You are kidding arent you?
ok here's another way to look at it
Last year year you went ...
"Bravo umpire good decision"
Eighteen more times than you yelled...
"you scum bag, cheating white/green/ maggot "

AND
and this is biggy as Im betting you are old school - our games were less heavily umpired for/against than the majority of clubs

[jonesy]

As sure as the sun rises...
