Re: Round 5 - Other Matches

Some interesting stats from tonight's game - Jack Riewoldt led all-comers in the 'standing around with hands on hips berating his teammates' stat. He also made the most 'I'll pretend but i cant be stuffed' half-arsed defensive chases on the ground tonight.

He is a cancer on that team.

EDIT - Mark Maclure hasn't missed him on Fox Footy. Said he gave Richmond "nothing, zero", and called him a prima donna. He's 100% right.

The goal umpire needs to learn how to position himself in the goal.

I like Mark MacClure. Blunt as a chair leg, but calls it how he sees it.
Vickery is making Jack look second rate around the ground. So what can we say about these two teams?
Thought the scoreboard flattered the Tigers, with some very easy set shots missed by the purple gang.

I Would say he positioned himself perfectly to adjudicate the decision. Not sure where else he should have stood. Richmond or any other supporters who think he stuffed up are delusional. Just another close lose in a game they could have easily won, gotta love (to hate) Richmond.

I was listening on the radio but who was you reckon at fault in that decision.

He should have stood behind the line, and completely off the field. It was very poor goal-umpiring.

Yeah I would think the goal umpire would stand behind the line. I heard that the goal umpire was hit in the head and when that happens they give it point. Where was he positioned exactly on the field?

On the goal line, pretty much backed up to the post. I thought that was the correct position, I could be wrong though. Biggest problem was that the review system wasn't used.

Re: Round 5 - Other Matches

Agree with GD thought the scoreboard flattered Richmond.
Listening to disgruntled Tiger talkback( they're really gruntled)
One bloke want's the SEN presenter to call the " Greish".
Pity it was 1.20 AM. Riewoldt leads the league in poor body language.
His constant petulence must frustrate. What a star Michael Walters has become.
Grigg and Houli give them great run, but boy they have no defensive side.
Maric's off the boil in the ruck as well.

The biggest issue is the inadequate technology .
They need cameras in the post and considering the venues are making truckloads it's inexcusable . The review system shouldn't exist until the technology is right.

I think the goal ump was doing what positioning they're told to.
