Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 21 - Dogs v Tigers Fri August 4th 7:50pm EST (Marvel)

[Beerfish]

Like the tigers of old..

 

[Erakor]

Umps, they don't need dodgy frees in front of goal. Look at the scoreboard. Save it for f8nals.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

OK the commentators certainly said he was being taken off and I wasn't there to see it.

They were trying to get him off for a good four minutes but he just wouldn’t come to the bench. Doubt there’s anything they can do different in that scenario, it’s not like they can stop the game just to pull him off the field

Bolton just got a soft one after dropping a mark.

 

[Bird Man]

if that wasnt the tiger it would be 50 m

 

[Chuckie357]

Anyone lip read what that Richmond player said to the umpire after kicking the ball away at half time?

 

[Erakor]

Two soft/non frees in front of goal. Great umpiring.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Dogs applying manic pressure. Playing like a team possessed. Looking very impressive. Can’t see the Tigers getting out of this one.

 

[Cyclonus]

He fell over on purpose to milk it.

 

[longdonkey]

100K fine is hardly a "draconian punishment" for a club that has form.

I think you'll find it happens quite regularly and to all clubs. The problem with Port there are a number of halfwits in that coaches box and seem to think they could get away with it despite it being blatantly obvious that he needed to be off. BTW I don't think its wrong I just think Port have been nailed for something all teams do and also an extremely flawed process.

Its taken one game this week for it to be an issue again

Called him a useless campaigner who shouldn't even be umpiring auskick

 

[Gavin Excell]

Anyone lip read what that Richmond player said to the umpire after kicking the ball away at half time?

Yes

"Tally ho chap, fair play what"

 

[Mofra]

if that wasnt the tiger it would be 50 m

Persecution complex.

He fell over his own feet.
It happened "Right In Front Of Me"

 

[HairyO]

The umpires doing their best to snuff out any chance of a Richmond comeback.

The Dogs getting their usual soft free kicks.

Maybe 2 or 3. Dogs have dominated. Tigers have struggled every time they have the ball except that one Rioli run.

 

[Erakor]

He fell over on purpose to milk it.

It was the holding well after the mark that was 50m, not the fake fall. He is no max gawn.

 

[Milanista28]

"**** me campaigner" I went back

 

[Dazb86]

Port fans scrambling to complain about concussions. Just accept you cheated and move on please.

 

[Nicho50]

Why wasn’t Trelor taken off for an assessment too? He was rubbing his head more than Hopper?

Not saying he’s got concussion but just if they are going to be consistent?

Umpiring has been deplorable , plenty of holding free kicks not being paid both ways.

Dogs just completely murdering us in the midfield. Bont having a field day. Backline under sized and under siege.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

the rules say you have to come off and get assessed after a head knock says Hodgy, conveniently ignoring the fact Trealor was on the other end of that head knock and completely ignored

First time all year we've been getting 'out the back' goals. Not sure what's changed

The team Doc views footage and can call a player off for an assessment of they're is a concern.

The debate really should be whether independent docs attend games to make the call instead.

never change plugger, never change

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So Hopper was playing with concussion same as Aliir. But but but the protocol was followed that's the way its supposed to work stammers Richo.

That didn't take long to show what a joke of a rule and process that it is, and how Port have been cherry picked by the AFL for a draconian punishment.

Difference is Port have a bad rap sheet and have done it before. The penalty was very lenient and 100k soft cap whoopie you won’t use it anyway

 

[Xtreme]

The Bulldogs might be in with a chance of victory here
