Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 11 - Walyalup (Freo) v Pies Fri May 24th 6:10pm WST/8:10pm AEST (OS)

[The 747]

And just like that BigUmpiring is back!

 

[Corkintheocean]

Hodge is staking his claim for the biggest moron on a Australian tv

Work cut out for him as long we continue to hear the dulcet tones of Jobe Watson.

 

[Hoops]

Would love to see why the reversal occurred but ch7 just kept showing some insignificant off the ball fluff

 

[Shane Heard]

That's his role, though? He's more value on the outside of a contest than being first hands on the ball.

He’s incapable on first hands because he is petrified of contact.

That’s just the way it is.

 

[RandB]

That decision is just ****ing ridiculous.

 

[CakeEater]

Pies player falls on Freo player and gets a free gifting a goal.

When the heck do we get s**t like that ?

Youve had your turn from 2013-2015.

 

[mick500]

Umps umping hard. Aren't we glad we have 4 of the useless pricks out there so they can pay bullshit frees like that.

 

[jackster83]

What's with the barracking commentators?

Is this normal for Collingwood games?

Bloody annoying as heck.

Yep, it's normal.

 

[guruisatiger]

Any reason umpires are suddenly inserting themselves into games more than usual?

Gambling

 

[spudmaster]

Interesting umpiring decision that.

 

[The 747]

Walyalup had most of the play that quarter but didn't make the evil empire pay.

 

[eddiesmith]

Awful umpiring, to the point of corruption.

Absolutely, some of those free kicks they ignored to Collingwood in attack are disgraceful.

 

[SC_Power]

Wow, to think that 44 players can run around like mad dogs covering hundreds of kms under tackling pressure for 30 minutes, and an umpires can make that decision for the softest free kick initiated by the “victim” and give a goal away.

That one reminds me of the free kick Stevic gave against Port Adelaide in the second quarter of the 2014 prelim against Hawthorn. Along with our wastefulness in front of goal, a bull**** decision like that turned the momentum completely.

 

[guruisatiger]

The only thing softer than that goal was Freo’s first goal.

Goldfish memories in here.

Goldfish have excellent memories

 

[noise36]

I'm shocked at how bad this umpiring is! A stream of free kicks have completely changed the momentum of the game.

 

[BACCS]

Unless someone has hit another player way off the ball for no reason, you can’t be paying stuff like that when it gives a team basically a 100m penalty and shot at goal

 

[Randomizor]

That decision is just ******* ridiculous.

I’m not even upset or angry anymore, just tired

 

[Hollow Knight]

As a neutral watching this game, seriously, heck AFL footy.

Just not enjoying this woke, soft bullshit anymore.

Woke? Man, chuds and cookers just insert that word anywhere these days regardless of the context. Lmao.

 

[.Shotties.]

He’s incapable on first hands because he is petrified of contact.

That’s just the way it is.

Okay, even more reason him to stick to what he's good at; recieving and distributing.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

AFL needs to start again with the umpiring.
Make it a defined career path for recently retired players.
Enough of these part timers who have never played a game, and have no feel whatsoever for a combative sport.
I seriously wonder whether the STH American betting cartels have infiltrated the umpiring department…some of the decisions are blatant corruption.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Treacy certainly went down like a sack of potatoes, but there was contact with his head. There was nothing in this last free.

Looks like a solid square up to me.

Watch the Freo supporters be fixated on this moment for the rest of the week, forgetting their own gimmies and that there’s another 119 minutes to win a game of football.

 

[HairyO]

Youve had your turn from 2013-2015.

When we go less than avg free kicks ?

 

[Chuckie357]

These ******* campaigners could at least bring lube

Your moron players like Jackson constantly giving it to players with 7 blokes sitting on them and the ever so over rated Nathan fyfe who can’t do anything to benefit his team mates seem to be the problem

 

[Mr Meow]

Could our game be officiated any poorer than it currently is? On what planet should that act merit a shot on goal 100 metres away from where it occurred?

They need a better solution for those situations.

Maybe the umpire notes it and if the ball does end up kicked to Amiss (or at least one kick down the line), then you let his opponent have the free kick. Sort of like offside in football, a "let it play out" system where the infringers team would still not be able to score. But the opposition don't get a shot at goal 100m ahead of the incident.

 

[Plugger35]

Umpiring quality at an all time low

I said the same thing last night, the umpires are ignoring blatant free kicks and paying soft free kicks, it should be the opposite.
