Why the fu** do they always give us Eleni? She shafts us every time!

That's why

Imagine the fun she will have with the new 50 metre rules

 

[FreoMatt]

In the contesting marking Crows will engage Treacy and Lobb with the third tall defender intercepting.

Crows knowing we don’t a lot of tall options will sweat on our midfielders and backs. Therefore the turnover intercept mark.

The Crows 3rd tall is Doedee who is 3cm shorter than Banfield

That's why

Yeah, sorry. It was a silly question wasn't it. And, I answered it myself

 

[Scham]

I shudder to think!

But who’s fast enough to cover Freddy? No one. When we rebound that ball from our D50, he’s gonna get fed all day. Freddy kicks 4.2.

Are you suggesting height is somewhat irrelevant or that Doedee is too short to be an intercept threat?

Doedee is short for a 3rd tall, also Banfield will probably tag him.

The best way to nullify Doedee is to be a marking/scoring threat as well as tagging. If Doedee is routinely looking to intercept against Lobb, get Banfield into space and use him.

Freo to win in a very Freo way - something like 10.19 to 10.4

Treacy to kick 1.6

I would tear my hair out if Tracy kicked that. Freddie I think is much more likely for that return.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Just come to play & we win this easily.

& FFS kick straight to make it easy on you & us.

Still a terrible ump. Doesn't cover the ground quickly enough, freezes under pressure, causes the other umps to cover more ground to cover for her and is very inconsistent. Spewing she is doing our game again.

I don't care if you are white, green, orange, brown, male or female or gender fluid. As long as you are the best you should be selected....Eleni is not in the best 1000 umpires going around.

 

[Ogrebait]

1000? Get your hand off it, Darryl.

 

[estibador]

C'mon...

'Not in the best 1000 umps'... 'can't cover the ground so other umps have to run further'

Any stats to back these claims up? Umps only have to run 20m in each direction to cover their zone so I'd be surprised if she was incapable of that. And I'd be surprised if someone had a list of the best thousand umps in the country to rank her in.

She stands out because she's a woman. She'll probably screw us because they all do (or so it seems to me on gameday anyway), but I don't think it's due to anything more than that.

 

[Righteo]

I'd be lucky to name 10 umpires let alone 1000. She's...not great, but if we lose it won't be because of one umpire lol

Don't set them a challenge.




PS. I agree

Treacy is among our better kicks for goal I'd say. Just needs to get more shots. Good chance he will during his career. Hopefully it starts tomorrow.

 

[freo1997]

Eleni umpiring i hear. In front of a boisterous Crows crowd?

Yep. Not great.

 

[Spirit Level]

She is a terrible umpire, gets totally caught up in the atmosphere of the home crowd and it influences her decisions. She completely loses sight of whats actually happening in the game

 

[freo1997]

Someone message Eleni on Insta and politely say don't get influenced by the crowd.

At least it will be in her thoughts.

What a load of opinionated and unsubstantiated bs. How the hell would you know how to rate an umpire? There is an actual umpiring department in the AFL, I think I'll trust their judgement over yours.
As if umpires in AFL are consistent..

Like Marghetts last game? Definitely worked but can you do it more than once and if not do you waste it Rd 1 against Adl?

Exactly. Whilst imo she's still probably one of the poorest umpires there are 100% other guys out there every week that are just as bad. But they just don't get noticed every single time (and remembered) like the only female in the job.

Razor I don't think is a bad umpire but him being an attention seeker also works against him because even casual supporters know him. In a job that's all about your mistakes being analysed and criticised being immediately recognisable is a definitely a disadvantage.
