Likely because if he asked for a jury trial in his indictment, three charges of assault and one charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Stevie J, there is no way he would be convicted by a cross section of 12 people from Melbourne who were too dumb or unemployed to get out of jury duty.

Why the gently caress does Melbourne keep calling nothing press conferences for its players? First the Hogan one during NAB cup, now the Watts today which I genuinely thought must be to announce a new contract but nope it was just "yeah things are good I like how we are going cheers"

I didn't mind that one, it was a bit informal, didn't take itself too seriously and had a bit of fun. The others seem to be either taking it was too seriously or blokey bogan trash talk with no actual content

If you're getting paid the big bucks to officiate at the highest grade then yeah im ok with you thinking about umpiring most of the time, much the same way I'm ok with mechanics thinking about cars most of the time and bankers thinking about finance.

I dunno about a random mechanic, but umpires aren't some bloke changing oil at the Toyota dealership in this analogy; they're the Ferrari pit-crew. So yeah, I'd expect someone performing at that kind of level to be committed enough to their job to eat, breathe and sleep it during the season.

Part of me thinks they should increase the number of umpires on field, in addition to meaning you have better positioning for calls it would reduce the running required by each of them ideally to the point where you could get an umpire calling two games a round. The downside to this would be that have more umpires on the field increases the inconsistency of interpretation within a single game which is arguably the biggest problem people have with umpiring today. I feel like a lot of that could be averted by going with a fully professional umpiring program though. Two umpires a round might work better when you develop more of a regular 4 day rounds, so the umpires who umpire Thursday night go again Saturday, Friday nights team go again Sunday, and you rotate between doing one or two games throughout the season.

I still think they should have a retired senior umpire up in the box to override bad calls. Just a quick 'yeah its the box here Razor, vision shows he got rid of it cleanly, ball up plz'

The boundary umpire has the easiest job in the world yet there are uncalled out of bounds almost every game. Maybe we need about 8 of them instead of the current 4

The Deadly Hume posted:I dunno, if you watched the Leicester-West Ham game on the weekend (basically the ref gave a crappy decision the Hammers' way, and then decided to do the even-up very late presumably because he didn't want to get lynched), you'd have to say lovely officiating is a universal. Only Collina was beyond reproach. To be fair the EPL only brings in seventy trillion dollars a second, can't expect them to pay money for refs
