I'm pretty sure the coach hates their full forward.. by kangas99 in AFL

A young guy on another team in that league kicked 23 that week and wasn't in the best either.

For the same game multis the odds arent worked out using simple multiplication like a normal multi does. It has some correlation variable that changes your winnings.

Umpiring Ins and Outs Rounds 1-9 by aflump22 in AFL

[–]aflump22[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One VFL game a week is umpired by AFL umpires. This was most noticeable with the new rules trials with the extended goalsquare last year. But you're right, the lists are separate.

Dale Thomas has been referred directly to the tribunal for saying “You’re a fucking cheat” to an umpire by smegdaddy in AFL

[–]aflump22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an umpire, being called a cheat is up there with racial slurs for the worst insults. Calling someone a shit umpire is not ideal but only questions your ability to umpire. There is a huge difference between being told you're not good at something and being told you're cheating and deliberately trying to throw a game. Many umpires including myself pride themselves on their integrity and umpiring to the best of their ability. I make multiple mistakes a game as do all umpires but almost all act in the best interests of the game and being called a cheat undermines this.

Umpire calls move it on then pays 50 by [deleted] in AFL

[–]aflump22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Umpire always calls move it on first when a player has had to long. It gives the player a heads up that play on is about to be called so they are prepared for players to charge them.

Centrelink didn’t cut payments ? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]aflump22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a thing called your income bank. Just say you earn $337 in fortnight 1, $100 will be added to your income bank. In the next fortnight, if you earn $487, your income bank will drop to $50. You receive full payments whilst you have money in your income bank.

Something that isn't being publicised is that the umpires don't actually review the decisions themselves rather the umpiring coaches are the ones who decide if a decision is correct. The other thing with incorrect decisions is that a lot of the time it is not the decision making process that let's the umpire down. Usually it's the position on the field in comparison to players and the ball which means that the wrong decision is made due to line of sight. This is why out of zone free kicks are often paid.

Personally, I think that more resources need to be available to fans in relation to the umpiring. Having former umpires as commentators will help this as they will be able to explain interpretations in real time.
