@7AFL Another umpire who doesn’t understand HTB… that is definitely not it

Two woeful teams yet the umps have managed to be the worst team out there. How many blatantly incorrect free kicks have Carlton got in front of goal now? #AFLDonsBlues

Front on contact free paid, despite Roberts touching the ball not the Blues players. And then they pay a 7m kick a mark. This is why I can’t watch football. Time the umps learned the rules #AFLDonsBlues

Holding the ball must be dead. The umps have missed half a dozen already. They’re beyond clueless #AFLDonsBlues

@RalphyHeraldSun The AFL demonstrating how out of touch and hypocritical they are - if that’s right I can show 100 examples from this year alone that they got wrong…

@tommorris32 @7AFL @1116sen No of course not, why should the public have any idea as to how the ARC is meant to work? And they wonder why the officials cop criticism all the time when they don’t explain themselves. Absolute clown show

@Ben_Cotton15 @DavidZita1 It just has to be grandfathered in. Clubs have already traded current and future picks in anticipation of F/S and academy picks for this year & changing the rules mid stream is blantantly unfair. It might be unfair not to change the rules but it’s more unfair not to phase them in

@RalphyHeraldSun Cmon Jon, you’re not that ignorant, the issue is why should Carlton have to give up those picks when you consider what Brisbane have got Ashcroft or Collingwood for Daicos. There’s no integrity in the comp if different teams substantially benefit like that

@CalTwomey @FootyonNine A new reason to tank! Great… 😒

@RalphyHeraldSun Never want to hear the AFL journos talk about integrity again. These decisions damage the integrity of the game and none of you do your job and question it. Brisbane already have 2 flags cause of these rules - they can keep their flags and the players and nobody else can benefit

@cleary_mitch @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne Never controlled the ball before it crossed the goal line. The fact the @AFL expect us to believe that and journalists won’t question it is one of the biggest issues atm. If the AFL doesn’t even know the rules how can we trust them? They got it wrong. Period.

@tommorris32 I would have thought working for Sports Bet diminishes his authority as an umpire, no?

It is right an umpire cannot talk to a player after they’ve reported him but they must also report properly - telling the player why they’re reported and the video shows Foot didn’t do that…

@7AFL @cleary_mitch @PAFC @AFL The tribunal says all at the same time:

1. Butters said what Foot said he heard - categorical;
2. The crowd booed so loudly to encourage Butters to speak; and
3. Butters spoke much quieter so Wines couldn’t hear - just Foot, regardless of the crowd.

Nonsense

@7AFL @cleary_mitch @PAFC @AFL Also, Butters record is irrelevant - if we take into account Butters extensive record as noted in the reasons, then likewise we must take into account none of them include umpire abuse.

Actually an embarrassing piece of legal prose that should never see the light of day again

@HorusWasRight_ @DavidZita1 @FOXFOOTY There are many ways to challenge evidence… offering your own is a way to do that. Also, Foot was cross examined by Butters representative and it appears his evidence was challenged. To categorically say his evidence was unchallenged is down right wrong

[Cookie @cookie86111]

@FOXFOOTY Genuine demonstration that the tribunal is not an independent deliberative body but just an arm of the AFL… no way the evidence presented meets the threshold to find Butters guilty (the onus is on the AFL to demostate it happened and not on Butters to show it didn’t happen)
