AFL 2019 Round 3: Hawthorn v North Melbourne, 3:20pm AEST MCG

[The Joker]

I just don't understand why the AFL is giving away 50m penalties over the most trivial things. They are ruining this sport.

Could you imagine the issues that not calling them would bring up.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Hilarious how many people don't know the HTB rule. Don't need to make contact if no prior and make a genuine attempt. Brown was tackled immediately and tried to get rid of it.

 

[Boxhead_31]

I'm done with watching AFL umpring has killed any interest for me.

Yes umpiring is the problem so far, not the effort or lack there of

 

[rippersnipper]

It's alright hawks, we're bound to have one goalless quarter at the very least

 

[SterlingArcher]

All of a sudden everyone 'was genuinely confused', or 'genuinely thought it was out of bounds'.

Surprisingly you weren't done with umpiring 4-5 years ago

 

[onebillsdrive]

Watching game on tv I thought why are so many supporters wearing white.......then realised they are empty seats

 

[Chaisa]

Roos looking really on.

Just keep it under the line please!

What's the score?

Yeah I didn't get that 50 at all. The umpiring this season has been a disgrace.

 

[drd23]

WTF was that for?

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Cousins drops the footy and gets the free kick - ffs umpire.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

McDonald dear oh dear

 

[Boxhead_31]

And right on cue here comes #FreeKickHawthorn

 

[Dave]

There was no advantage there, the umpires are whistle happy this round

You realise it’s the players decision to take advantage and not the umpires yeah?

 

[Jobe Watson]

Luke McDonald is such a spud. Wasn't he supposed to be the next Hodge?

 

[citizen-erased]

Cousins drops the footy and gets the free kick - ffs umpire.

carbon copy inside hawks 50 and its paid.
consistency...cant even maintain it over 30 seconds.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

And then the Roos player gets penalised for the same thing.

What is going on?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Keep it 12 points or more North please

There there

 

[MowShow]

Umps tried giving us a much needed one there..

 

[Downhill Skier]

That is the one rule I hate. If a player gets rid of the ball while getting tackled the player should at least be given the benefit of the doubt and not pinged for finishing a tackle .

But that’s alright when it’s for your team right?
