Finals week 1 umpires

[Old Royboy]

St.Kilda v Melbourne

Goldspink
Schmitt
Rosebury


Adelaide v Fremantle

McInerney
Ellis
Chamberlain


West Coast v Sydney

McBurney
Vozzo
Ryan


Collingwood v Western Bulldogs

Kennedy
Allen
Jeffery


Emg: Quigley, Woodcock, McClaren & Stevic

I can take this. Vozzo was the only ump who resisted the roar factor and gave us a fair go in the St Kilda semi. Good to see that Schmitt and Goldspink have been left in Melbourne and that McLaren has been rewarded for his crap performances by being dumped.

Just as happy not to have McInerney after his howlers from last year.....

There is enormous media pressure on the free-kick counts of the last few swans v weagles games, which the AFL would be very sensitive too.

Good to see no McClaren, McInerney or Goldspink (although I dont mind Goldy so much now days).

It could be a fair contest!

[punter257]

one of them will be wearing blue and gold undies thats for sure!

@@@@@@@@ or @@@@?????

both work well :p

[Pommie Swannie]

Great news!

There was no way the AFL could have given either of the Mc's after last year's QF / Rd 15 this year.

I wouldn't have been too bothered if Goldspink had been appointed, but would have been apoplectic if Mclaren was on the list!

Although seeing as he's on the emergency list, better hope none of the 3 appointed to the game pull a hammy this week!! :eek:

[Glenn]

Had to get at least one Mc :mad: , can't wish for a injury as the emergency is worse :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's right. This is a great result, probably as good as we were ever going to get.

Damn!

[ugg]

The FK differential is much worse at Subiaco too.

If we get only 6 free kicks less than WC that would be quite surprising, and probably pretty good! As long as they are not in front of goal, and ONE dodgy one does not decide the match.

It could be a fair contest! My thoughts exactly.:D

[Wardy]

I am pleased - I can now go to Tamworth knowing that there is a chance that the umpiring will be quite fair for this match - even if I dont get to see the game!:(

[TheHood]

That last McLaren Subiaco performance was unacceptable at any level of the game.

His omission should have been more public, obvious and the flogging should have been bloody and painful!

Harsh - but fair.

[The Big Cat]

Where's Matthew James? He's the best ump by a country mile. Perhaps that's why he's missing!

What a brilliant article. Pity it will not get any coverage here in the West.

[Old Royboy]

The clowns on EFH have read the article and it has some of them worried. Apparently the last time the east coast press printed similar stories they got smashed by the umps. But, their opponent was the filth and Eddie was responsible for the publicity. We can only hope this campaign is as successful.

Even better, while we are happy with the umpire appointments, they are not.

They must be the only fans that like McClaren.

That piece of Nikki?s needs to get published in the HUN, it?s only been in the Tele so far.

Umpires were selected on the basis of their performance over the course of the home and away matches with the top umpires going on to the finals. Also named were the field and goal emergency umpires for the first week. In weeks 2-4 emergency umpire duties will be undertaken by those on the finals panel.

In announcing the panels AFL Umpiring Manager, Jeff Gieschen, noted "The appointments are a fitting reward for performances throughout the home and away season. I would also like to congratulate those umpires who did not make the finals panels. 2006 has been an excellent season for AFL Umpiring and I have been delighted with all umpires commitment and performances through out the year. As a group we are only as strong as our weakest link and I firmly believe all umpires have worked extremely hard to meet all challenges and provide the level of performances required at the AFL level."
