Abusing an Umpire

Posted on 22 March 2008 by

Like most sports you are not able to abuse any of the officiating umpires no matter the situation. If your caught abusing an umpire, he has the right to either award a free kick against you or penalise your team a 50m penalty. In leagues other than the AFL you can be given a red or yellow card Abusing consists of:

  • swearing,
  • threatening and
  • arguing against a decision (as shown in video).
