lmao what a way to end a good game, a joke down field kick

 

[Helicon1]

That’s just bullshit

 

[a mayes ing]

Who was the downfield from?

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

What the hell was the free kick for?

 

[lionshine]

Tunstill dropping an uncontested sitter from a 20m kick cost us that but also robbed…

 

[McIvor]

Tunstill is utter trash.

Delist immediately.

 

[Jivlain]

At some point it might be nice to know what that was allegedly for

 

[Helicon1]

Mark shouldn’t be dropped. Simple from tunstill

 

[Elixuh]

Has the timekeeper collapsed?

 

[lionshine]

Craven again hahaha

 

[Helicon1]

The theatre of it all

 

[Tom14]

Unlucky for craven, tough tough ask to kick that twice.

Would love to see the free again but we will never find out.

 

[lionshine]

Unlucky Darcy. That was on target before the wind pulled it back.

I’m actually mad haha

 

[a mayes ing]

Commentators really wanted the Dogs to win that.

 

[Maboo]

Tough for the kid

 

[Elixuh]

It'd be nice to know what the downfield was for. It was effectively a 70m penalty

 

[BandBane]

We always seem to lose VFL Qualifying Finals huh...

 

[lionshine]

Good to see Doedee giving Luke Beecken some feedback & advice as they walk off the ground.

 

[McIvor]

Seriously, how in the hell does Tunstill drop a simple uncontested mark and then juggle it three times before dropping it.

Too many flaws in his game to even bother with persisting.

 

[Lazza16]

Great game by our rucks but 3 votes goes to number bloomin 16....karma will catch him sooner or later....who is an extremely poor loser lol . Guilty your honor.

 

[Section 5]

Correct decision by the umpire against Prior. I think it was Prior.
Prior had an easy mark with no one near him and decided to thump the ball out while not contesting a mark.
I could not believe it when he did that. Game lost at that point.
That's considered insufficient intent.

18.10 OUT OF BOUNDS
18.10.1 Spirit and Intention Players shall be encouraged to keep the football in play.
18.10.2 Free Kicks - Out of Bounds A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who:
(a) Kicks the football Out of Bounds On the Full;
(b) Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Boundary Line and does not demonstrate sufficient intent to keep the football in play; or
(c) fails to immediately hand the football to the boundary Umpire or drop the football directly to the ground once the football is Out of Bounds.

Surely this doesn't count in a marking contest? I'm almost certain it was downfield

That's the way I saw it as well. Nothing there to warrant a downfield. He was all set to take an easy chest mark and for some inexplicable reason decided to fist it sideways.

I think you are correct. The confusion comes from the commentators not knowing what the free was paid for.

He was all on his own . No one within over 5m.
