2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Kane McGoodwin]

I look forward to the day that we use neutral umpires for games... but won't be in my lifetime.

 

[BACCS]

Also should’ve been a free where he was infringed:

 

[relapse]

Typical Fox Footy no mention about the umpiring.

I'd be willing to bet that if it was Freo who won under those circumstances that they'd all be talking about the umpiring and questioning whether the frees were there.

 

[Bearded Clam]

In that last three or so minutes two freo lads got deliberately shoved in the back by carlton players after they had kicked the ball and both times the ball came back to the spot the offence occured..

why did the last free of the game not get taken back to where the offence occured?..

freo should be asking for an explaination..

 

[Bay62]

Not calling a free kick for Ryan literally throwing the ball to Betts 30 seconds earlier was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

I thought that too, but then wondered if the umpire had called time back on again?

 

[Shuestar13]

I reckon there was a West Coast kick that was better - oh wait was that after the siren? Or the one against Port by McGovern

Shuestar13 ?

There was more than one from memory...

Nice finish. Appalling umpiring all night, two of Fremantle’s goals in the first were from dubious frees... Carlton had the better of the game for most of the second half, poor finishing cost them, should have been up well before that.

Betts struggling big time...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The umpiring will soon reach a boiling point. Never seen so much anger about umpiring in a season

It's only been because we have been so shyte that it hasn't annoyed me as much as it normally would... but we have got the raw end of the pineapple in most games.

Last week the 2 non-razor umpires were screwing us... Not sure why given we are that bad, the other team doesn't need extra assistance.

Mind you the playing standard under COVID is worse so the umpiring is too...

 

[GrommoT]

Has the AFL ever reversed the result of a game due to an umpire error?

 

[Scorpus]

So the game was clearly decided by an incorrect umpiring decision.

Watch the AFL sweep this under the rug as quickly as possible

 

[FR0GGY]

Has the AFL ever reversed the result of a game due to an umpire error?

Now there’s a can of worms if ever I saw one.

 

[FR0GGY]

Also should’ve been a free where he was infringed:

Didn’t realize that was the rule, but they certainly brought the ball back to one of the freo players that was pushed in the back and kicked it out on the full.

 

[GrommoT]

I guess for us it's a sit back and enjoy the comedy



Wonder which team would have had a better shot at climbing over GWS - was thinking Freo as they seemed to be playing into form.

 

[hey shorty]

That was a horrendous decision, and a fantastic kick.

 

[Scorpus]

Now there’s a can of worms if ever I saw one.

In such a clear cut situation of incorrect rule application, I wonder if there is a case here?

Of course it won't go anywhere but this is as blatant as it gets

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Has the AFL ever reversed the result of a game due to an umpire error?

Did i think Freo and St Kilda where there was a siren issue

 

[GROTTO]

Gosh I thought we tore our neighbours a new one every time they lose, Eagles board is hilarious.

 

[GROTTO]

Has the AFL ever reversed the result of a game due to an umpire error?

Waiting for the Crows to one day win a flag by less than a goal.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Has the AFL ever reversed the result of a game due to an umpire error?

didnt they reverse that game in tassie that time when the siren failed to sound and a team won from a goal kicked after it shouldve gone off?...

thats my recollection.. but ive drunk a million beers since so happy to be corrected..

 

[AFC3000]

Will we ever video review decisions like this during the game?

I don't wan't to see everything thing held up with video reviews and where does it end...

The one that does get me though is the incorrect paying of a mark, usually right in front of the goals, almost can't miss situation.

We often get a full replay showing that the ball was touched or there was a push in the back or something while the player is still lining up for the kick, would it ruin the game to get a message down to the umpire that this might be something worth looking at closer?

I guess the problem is adding reviews also adds "that was reviewed, why wasn't this reviewed" and it's basically the same thing.

They turned that one over during the week, I guess it's an umpiring error, but was more of a time keeper thing from memory.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Carlton getting close to GWS now..

 

[GROTTO]

I reckon there was a West Coast kick that was better - oh wait was that after the siren? Or the one against Port by McGovern

Shuestar13 ?

They are the feel good moments in AFL, were you can rewatch the last 2 minutes any time you feel down and out.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I don’t expect them to reverse it but the AFL need to say that it was the wrong call and apologise to Freo, and strip the Crows of draft picks

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Debacle from the umpires, amazing kick from Newnes

But the loss 100% should be on Taberner's shoulders. Dreadful effort at disguising the deliberate out of bounds. Just take possession.

But anyway, even allowing for that ineptitude how about... stand the mark? You remember Auskick yeah?

Instead trots away in a daze allowing Docherty to stream unfettered towards goal and get way closer than he should have, creating what turned out to be the match winning goal.

Sure the umps stuffed up. But if Taberner didn't produce the most moronic thing ever seen on a football field outside of Crows' games then they win regardless.

 

[Scorpus]

Fremantle should take this to the International Criminal Court
