    Umpire Selection for Saturday

    Well a certain umpire that has 18 on his back has been picked to umpire our game on Saturday night.

    Not sure who the other two are. Story in today's Herald Sun website.
    In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.

    I am no longer feeling bubbly about this game.

    Do they do this on purpose?

    We've had him twice since the 'Docker Shocker' at the SCG for two wins.

    One thing about him, he doesn't appear to get intimidated by home crowds. The more we booed at the SCG, the more he caned us. He thinks the game is all about him, so he doesn't let home crowds take the initiative off him....

    With that in mind, maybe it's not so bad. We'll have plenty of support on Sat night, but it's fair to say we'll be outnumbered and the Aints fans will be brutal if we start to get a run on and they see their year going down the toilet.

    Since the Dockers game i think he has been quite reasonable to us in the two games. Maybe he is feeling guilty. It could work in our favour, plus the article on the HS website could help.

    I think he's been quite good to us since the Dockers game.
    Hopefully this will continue.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Agreed. I don't think this is necessarily bad news.

    True. At least it's easy to see over him.

    Totally disagree .

    A poor performance at Homebush against St Kilda was masked by the other umpires sometimes paying at distance what he wasn't .
    Watched the folowing St Kilda Vs NM game and the "Ray show " chant went up .As a neutral it was easy to see that NM got shafted at a time they were clearly on top .Riewolt just has to get blown over to receive a free and Ray has no idea on 50m penaties .There was an almighty scramble next to the square , a whistle and the ball came out almost simultaneously .Not in Ray's eyes . Whistle and 50m .Spoiled a good game .NM lost heart and we left early .
    give it to the game
