Round 14 - Eagles v North Adelaide - POST MATCH DISCUSSION

[am Bays]

North fans shouldn't complain about umpiring especially after this game.

Worst game of umpiring I ever saw, was also the first game of the 3 umpire system IIRC. The first two minutes shows why with the bias with respect to late contact.

Best umpiring I've ever seen in the SANFL was a trial game a few years back when they doubled the amount of boundary umpires took one of the field umpires away and gave the boundary umpires extra powers. Was miles in front of everything I've ever seen before or since.
Ironically as good as it was it was never discussed again.

Oh my, why is it every time the Eagles beat North Adelaide do we hear non stop whining and whinging about incompetent umpiring.

Red Flag to a Bull there EHL

You would have heard it last night in the AFL scores thread too and that was despite the team who was murdered winning the game.
Loss or wins is irrelavent but a match deciding poor inconsistent decision is as relavent a time to bring it up as any.
This forum is for discussion of the game and elements of it, if you don't like it go find another website.
I wasn't there but have detailed my issues with it and if it brings further discussion then good for the site!
If you can't discuss umpiring when a team wins and when a team loses does that mean we can only discuss it when there's a draw?
Seriously mate.
If you think all SANFL umpiring is great then you're entitled to your opinion and can even express it but trying to stifle discussion you can't.
Plus I'm currently doing my TAX and bored with it!

The Eagles get a good run every game mate, reckon the stats over the last couple of years will back that up

Compile them and show us then mate.

Someone posted 2 seasons worth last year and the Eagles led for both seasons .. Post them here when you find them, thanks mate.

North made some shocking decisions through-out the game- one inside 50 that was turned over, resulting in an Eagle goal, a 12 point turnaround.
The poor decision really hurt us- could have worn the holding the ball, but not when he had his head ripped off.
North should have stitched it up before the last 10 seconds of play.

Very true - plus Thring missing an easy set shot so it whould never have got to be decided by a shit decision.

Yep, that and a Port game at Adelaide Oval about 6 years ago are the two times we got a good run, every other game we've been screwed!

[Reddeer]

Bloody lucky to get out of that. North had their chances just as the Eagles did. I thought the umpiring was as bad as I have seen lately. None of them would make a decision, missed so much it was comical. No wonder the players on both sides were losing their cool at times. It wont improve when the SANFL become just a AFL practice comp either. The game as a game is on the skids

Players make 10 times more mistakes in a game of footy than umpires.

Good sides dont let umpires get the opportunity to decide a game with one decision.

Nail on the head.

Tell that to the supporters of Sturt in the 1978 GF!

Close games should not be decided by a very bad umpiring error even though as you point out they make mistakes all through the game.
