AFL 2017 - R10 - Richmond v Essendon 7:25pm AEST MCG

[eddiebankbalance]

Bull$hit bull$hit bull$hit Richmond getting fuced uped the arsse here

 

[Greggy]

That's fair enough didn't make any attempt

Doesn't have to make an attempt if there's pressure on him.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Has a real Anzac Day feel this game

 

[Outback Footy]

The Mills one was worse

Nah, equally bad. It's a shit rule.

 

[Black Saab]

Correct call, the Tigers had two on three and should have been able to clear it.

And Jayden Short knew that? Did you see him looking around? He blew away fat Green but he didn't know he'd beaten him so easily. The guy who got beaten by talent ends up with the reward. That's the kind of stuff you want on the game??

 

[Pike13]

Trying to find the rush behind rule. Does anyone know the definition of it?

Whatever Gill decides is the rule change for this week which they'll retroactively apply.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

That ump, of all people, should know that the pursued never has much of an idea of the distance between himself and the pursuer. After all, he spent his school days running away. Scaredy cat numpty.

 

[DrEvil_]

I felt a great disturbance with the tigers, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I feel the power of millions of microwaves heating up at once...

 

[dean33]

Should be 5 goals up, based on how we have let leads slip the last few weeks might be a blessing in disguise

 

[footyboi1]

They need to fix the rushed behind rule. Another bullshit reactionary change that didn't need to happen.

Add it to all the other BS rules...

- Deliberate out of bounds
- below knees contact
- front on contact
- running from behind to man the mark
- 5m protected zone

I cbf going on...

 

[OhhDeledio]

Pulling up or not, there wasn't any pressure.

Does it matter how the lack of pressure came to be?

If Green had of kept chasing then ump probably would have deemed it sufficient pressure. Green pulled up and was appealing for the free before it was even rushed

 

[schmuttt]

Every week the umpires make at least one th ridiculous call against Richmond that is normally right in front of goal.

That was an absolute farce of a decision. Is it possible to get any justice in this pathetic competition??

That will be the game decider.

Yes, because if you didn't get that free against the game will play out exactly the same as if you did

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

0 attempt the keep it in. Great call ump. Suck a fat one tiggies

 

[JayJ20]

The interpretation of the rule was there but the rule isn't great. A goal is too big of a price to be paid for that

 

[HTT]

Under pressure (well if not for the Essendon player appealing) and virtually on the goal line. Tell me which law says that's a free kick.

 

[Jade]

Yeah must have deliberately closed the eyes in the back of his head huh?

He played dumb and was rightfully penalised.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Love the posters saying 'that will be the decider'.....
FFS there is a half of footy to go.
If your side is any chop, you will win.
If your side isn't, they won't.

 

[Great8]

I'd be happy for that decision to be paid every time. Soft as butter when players rush points

 

[ziad]

couldn't care who wins - both despicable clubs for different reasons. But the AFL continues to ruin the game.

 

[rapido]

People rave on how Aussie Rules Football is difficult to umpire. That's BS. It's actually the easiest to umpire.

The umpire can literally blow the whistle whenever he wants and it'll be the correct decision. If you base the rules on the "interpretations", there's never going to be any wrong calls, because the ump's interpretation is always going to be correct.

That will be the game decider.

Did you complain about the shocking call against Zaharakis for "taking out the legs"?

Or perhaps that doesn't suit your agenda.

 

[HBF]

Imagine that was the game. Would be so fitting for Richmond to out-Richmond of the past three weeks.

I thought the same thing.

 

[ziad]

I'd be happy for that decision to be paid every time. Soft as butter when players rush points

gutless when players don't compete looking for a manufactured free

 

[ptrg]

What annoys me, is that it was a live ball- as in, had it rolled more, it would have been a goal! Surely a defender is entitled to touch a live ball??

It did pull up to a stop just short, but he was 2m into a slide to touch it while it was still rolling.

 

[telsor]

Clearly the best option for a player on the attacking team in that situtation is to take a few short steps to relieve the 'pressure'....Is that really what we want to see in the game?

Written on the magic device while drunk down the pub.
