Rules are in place to protect them and if you break them you’ll be dealt with harshly.
Especially if your record is poor

I reckon some players need to grow a thicker skin. How many times do we see a player infringe on an opponent & take out their frustration (of being beaten in a one on one) towards the umpire.

Under 8 North, div 1 though.

Players are probably more disciplined in the higher grades, they might say something cheeky on their way past but that's about it.
It's a hard one to judge, after half time in a close A Grade game you usually hear a bit coming from the bar area every time you penalize the home side, I can't say I cop too much shit out there by the players, it is a matter of explaining each decision and keeping it simple, if you don't pay ticky touch free kicks early it's easier to find a level of consistency throughout the game.

Yet when it's brought up at the start of season coaches/president's meetings no one has a problem with it.

I umpired 1 season of Div 2 reserves at Walkerville and I didn't hear 1 bit of foul language by anyone. Whereas playing Div 7 A or B grade, I hear it constantly. Blokes need to understand that once a decision is made. Generally no matter what you say to the umpire, he / she will never change their mind.

I reckon you are right since he was on 8 games before the latest 3.. this shouldn't have any bearing on the outcome of this offence imo though..
1. If player has never been to the tribunal before says to the umpire after the game 'you were terrible today' = no report and no suspension
2. If player has been to the tribunal more than once before says to the umpire after the game 'you were terrible today' = report and suspension
If the player has been reported and suspended for umpire abuse or threats etc. before and says the above, I still think this is not worthy of a suspension.. If the player says 'you cheating white maggot c#$t, f#$kface piece of sh!t' throw the book at him!
*please note the above is my opinion and the examples are not the true events that occurred on the weekend.
