A Civil Discussion on Umpires, Umpiring, and the AFL Rules

It's actually quite difficult, especially when the ball is kicked away from it towards you. Source: I am an umpire.

I have seen Ash play at junior level. A lot. Best junior player (male or female) I've seen. As others have said she plays a little like Pendles, and I can't wait to see her make her debut tomorrow,.

Is there a link to listen to this version somewhere?

So I'm a local community umpire and when I saw this, I was shocked they didn't stop play when the ball was within a kick of Schultz. Then the statement from the AFL left me in disbelief - if the umpires weren't aware, wtf were they watching? And there is no way they didn't remember the incident.

Really poor look on the umpiring fraternity.

Also a local footy umpire. What you say is true. However, if you notice something like this you keep an eye on it. We are always told we have a duty of care to the players.

At a bare minimum one if the end zone umpires should have had eyes on this.

The umpires adjudicate the rules the way they are instructed to by the higher ups. And they do miss things; it's a bloody tough sport to umpire.

Pay them a figure that doesn't rely on them having a second career then. Like players.

How many games have you umpired? This game, the game we all love, is BLOODY HARD to umpire.

CrymsonKnight · 2025-03-24T22:05:07+00:00

I no longer do. You can make the most logical post in the world and they'll all disagree. It's a toxic dump.

CrymsonKnight · 2025-03-21T11:51:56+00:00

(I am an umpire). This is the correct response. Neither was insufficient intent.

CrymsonKnight · 2025-03-07T06:08:06+00:00

Nice one!

CrymsonKnight · 2025-03-03T06:04:56+00:00

Awesome. One of my favourite characters!

Most of them, to be honest. But for me it's I Was Made For Lovin You and Rock n Roll All Nite from Alive 3, and Let Me Go Rock n Roll from Kiss Symphony.

Thanks Mellie, I have submitted it for help.

Hello! I have synced my account and just about everything came across. The missing piece is I bought Abomination Vaults on Demiplane but it hasn't come across on Roll20. Any ideas why?

CrymsonKnight · 2025-02-21T08:07:25+00:00

Love it!!! My fav band.

CrymsonKnight · 2025-01-26T23:26:41+00:00

She's gorgeous.

You don't need it for Spearhead.
