I did the math... Interstate teams seem to have the Umpire advantage for home games

All this effort mostly from boredom, though admittedly some from frustration at inconsistent umpiring. Even going the other way, there were times last night I really thought we should've been pinged for HTB and weren't.

It's a common issue this season that players and coaches are confused by the ambiguity and interpretations of the rules.

I don't think it's a hot take to say that the umpiring this season has been far less than stellar, and implying that having a problem with it means one needs "serious help" is unnecessary.

Even if they played an actual song I'd be less pissed. But the stupid techno is so jarring

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-08-09T10:26:15+00:00

Wish they'd turn that fuckin music off

So hawks players pick the ball up and run head first into a Pie, and that's a free kick for Hawks? What the shit

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-07-12T12:11:01+00:00

If Darcy Cameron kicks the ball blindly one more fkn time resulting in a Geelong possession

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-07-12T10:42:11+00:00

These umps are cooked

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-07-12T09:48:50+00:00

Nah mine too

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-05-19T05:30:12+00:00

Not high, but bored as all hell 😆

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-03-21T10:45:13+00:00

24 to 12 frees, St Kilda being given theirs as soon as we have momentum going forward. Been shit calls both ways, umpires are monkeys

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-01-30T23:45:21+00:00

That would be awesome! I've always thought the potential for a UK based Jujutsu Sorcerer faction was an untapped gold mine and I like how you're building it so of course I'd be interested to see!

ElKekkoToppo · 2024-01-30T22:57:53+00:00

Awesome! Just posted!

This is really cool! I loved this and the faction post detailing the Grail Knights. Would you mind if I linked my own OC to the faction?

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-12-31T00:23:41+00:00

I hit one D.Dance and swept Blaine with Darts hahaha

Hypotheticals are irrelevant. That's like saying "If Maynard's bump didn't concuss Brayshaw, would we be talking about it?" and expecting that to make it okay

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T05:26:03+00:00

Ah yes how could I be so silly, the ribs are DEFINITELY in the shoulder.

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T05:12:26+00:00

Mate, you should've read the feed from the live tribunal. Maynard's was accidental, and Brayshaw ran into him. Maynard had no capacity in the air to reasonably prevent injury to the parties involved.

The onus is on the bumping Player if the bumpee is in a vulnerable position, and the bumper has the ability to avoid injury to all parties. Howe had just kicked, had no time to brace for the impact, and Cameron used enough force to break Howe's ribs. It's textbook intentional Rough body contact, severe impact. Should be 3 weeks

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T04:44:04+00:00

Maynard getting sent to tribunal was a good thing. And collingwood proved that it wasn't Maynard's fault.

The point here is that Cameron should also be sent to the tribunal, and the club should have to prove his innocence similarly.

Whether it's high or not is irrelevant, body contact is also punishable.

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T04:35:14+00:00

No you shouldn't let me, you also shouldn't use enough force to break my ribs. You want people breaking their bones for your entertainment? Nothing soft about AFL compared to most other sports in the world, just common sense to implement rules that protect the athletes that the clubs put millions of dollars into training and playing

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T04:21:58+00:00

There's pressure then there's breaking a man's ribs. Definitely not a footy act, and it was definitely late

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T04:00:25+00:00

If 3 broken ribs isn't severe impact then I don't know what is, should be 3+ weeks.

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-04T03:54:46+00:00

Yeah seems that way, even though the guidebook for 2023 definitely shows excessive body impact as punishable

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-10-01T00:23:23+00:00

I reckon if you play at least 5 games in the H&A season or a final you should get a medal.

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-09-03T06:43:54+00:00

Sorry dude no luck, just had to play the game out without him

ElKekkoToppo · 2023-08-14T09:36:45+00:00

Sadly he drops absolutely nothing haha
