Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 15: Essendon v Greater Western Sydney, 7:20pm AEST Marvel Stadium

[mxett]

Jesus ******* Christ what is this amateur hour? What an undeserving victory. Lucky they had three extra bald headed flogs on the field.

makes up for the ANZAC day game

 

[DrPowellPepper]

Common sense is paying the free kick, not saying stop being a naughty boy.

We'll take the four points just like your mob did. Now move on sport.

The only other player dumb enough to do it was a player from your club, Dustin fletcher no free kick was paid or 50m either , so shut up he got a fine jut like rampe

 

[mxett]

You realise the whole play changes right?

yep. The ball would be in our 50m arc instead of a centre bounce.....

 

[desie]

No doubt come Monday all decisions ticked off as correct....

 

[NonPhixion]

The review system is an absolute disgrace

 

[Donakebab]

All warnings to get back on the mark should be 50s, yeah? Enjoy yet your tainted victory champ. I'll enjoy our valid win against your mob.

Getting back on the mark is hardly the same as trying to climb the goalpost you clod.

I'll enjoy the win, you enjoy the lemons.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Bald headed flogs trying everything to keep Essendon in this.

about time, they gets robbed most weeks

 

[Coldacre]

nice to see Jobe back on the TV!

go Bombers

 

[Ron The Bear]

Don't think you can definitively say the McKernan goal was touched. Not from that footage, anyway. Would be ropeable if we lost a game on that.

 

[WN123]

Been overseas for several games this year and tried to follow on Bigfooty. And all I get in the game day threads I whinging about umpires.
(Also ironic that most of the outrage in this thread was West Coast supporters )

 

[Rod Stroker]

This wouldn't be the "win" to gloat about champ

 

[boncer34]

Geez.
West Australian umpires got banned from umpiring our games remember? This shows the AFL accept bias.
And yes, I'd be happy to have neutral unbiased umpires in Perth thanks.

It's better for the game.

Uhhh.

Banned eh?

You might wanna check where Margetts is from and who he umpired last Thursday night.

 

[mxett]

Ball goes back for a kick in and not a bounce. the whole dynamic of the game changes.

yes, but it's in our 50. You cant claim the decision robbed GWS of the win when they could have turned the ball over from the kickout and we still score.

ANyway, we got the rub of the green for once

 

[GuzzLG]

Feel like a Collingwood supporter.

Feels dirty.

 

[boncer34]

This wouldn't be the "win" to gloat about champ

Nah that was Good Friday.

 

[Redline]

Has to be a directive to Seven not to discuss the touched goal.

 

[boncer34]

Got away with highway robbery.

 

[footy75]

umpires get essendon over the line

piss weak crowd pleasers

 

[Rod Stroker]

Looking forward to Whateley on Monday. He's always said the inept goal review system would cost a game.

 

[juss]

That's the one.
maybe a case for the man in front had a piece of it. Would need to watch it again.
But at the time it seemed pretty clear it was a mark.

Even if it was the wrong call, it wasn't a howler. There were grounds to say the man in front had hands on it first.

There were far worse calls. None worse than the amateur score review that cost the game.

 

[hoss]

Media not mentioning anything about the umpiring or another botched goal review. When it happened in favour of the WA teams they didn't shut up about it for four days. True story.

Thanks for clarifying that Einstein. A+

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Ive got no horse in this race, and a dons win is actually good for the Eagles...

But that was hard to watch.

It's a really sorry state if affairs when you can pick the moment in a final quarter where umps are going to stick the boot in.

About 3.5mins to go and gws had control and a goal up.

Suddenly kicks arent 15.

Play-ons called immediately.

Heppell not pinged despite not even attempting to get rid of it.

Then gets a free for high contact when kt was a grazing arm as both players were tangled and going for it (gws player beating him to the ball).

Ugh.... aweful to watch and even worse to stomach when its backed up by bruce losing his load over it.

Commentary not making any mention of jt. Just how great Essendon are.

Nothing short of a blight on our game.

Umps should not be allowed to change their adjudication at any point in a game regardless of time / momentum / result etc.

So angry and cant imagine how GWS fans would be feeling watching that crap.

 

[WCfan22]

fox footy wont even mention the umpiring

did essendon kick a goal in the last without 'serious help' ?

Paid by the afl to give unbiased commentary with no talk allowed about umpires or your fired. The regime is alive and well

On fox footy they've been talking about it the last 8 minutes or so. Still going.
