I'm watching the Pies v Roos match and the umpires have called blocks in the middle ruck. What is this crap? The umpires have no idea what they are calling or what? They are so inconsistent.I'm watching the Pies v Roos match and the umpires have called blocks in the middle ruck. What is this crap? The umpires have no idea what they are calling or what?

I can tell you what the rule is. If one ruckman goes past the other side of the line and stops the other ruckman without a realistic attempt at the ball, it's a block (effectively). The umpires were constantly doing crap bounces and then when the disadvantaged ruckman couldn't get to the ball they were paying a free. That is NOT the intent of the rule. I'm sure most of these umpires have never played the game

By the sounds of it YAHOO was the umpire today. Enough said.

I couldn't tell you because the game I saw today the umpires had their head up their crack
