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

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Nah I don't believe that. Not with all the cheapshots you throw.

Nah. I tipped Freo to make the top 6 in pre season and I tipped them to get within a goal of Carlton a few weeks ago (probably overestimating) so I do have plenty of faith in them.

They were shithouse tonight and deserve criticism. If you don't like hearing that head to the Dockers board. I'm allowed to discuss my second team if I want.

 

[Hoops]

The “I made it the heck up” rule aka no rule on it.

I use to do it all the time in Auskick to give the strugglers a kick

Hey here an idea for a discussion that nobody has ever thought about before:

What if we scrapped the whole idea of a draw and did extra time?

Why?

 

[hoss]

You threw everything (including the umpires) at an undermanned Collingwood side who didn't get out of first gear and you still couldn't get it done.

It's as good as a loss for the Dockers.

I think we're lucky to get the two points. Doesn't really feel like a loss. Why are you so bitter and twisted anyway? I never had you as a Pies supporter.

Interesting situation. The rule is clear: 18.13 (b). But the vibe is not , I wish that umpire was there when Ramped climbed the goal post. The AFL needs to make a definitive statement on how they want the game officiated

18.13(b) does not apply.

If it were to apply, then 18.13(a) would apply as well any time a player throws a ball at the umpire. It’s just shit umpiring by a shit umpire. Simple as that.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Ah yeah that was screwed up.
Nicholls is in strife surely

Umpires are more protected than a panda. Nothing will happen to them.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Richo with common sense. A draw is a completely valid result. Neither team was good enough to win, stiff s**t.

First sensible thing he came out with all night mind you.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

How many times a week do you watch a match and a player with the ball runs out of bounds and then just drops the footy on the ground for the boundary umpire to throw in? Apparently all those were free kicks to the opposition.

 

[MadMundy]

As I've said to my own fellow Freo supporters when they've complained, I pass it onto the Collingwood sooks

Complaining about the umpires is for piss weak individuals who can't hold their players accountable and can't accept their team wasn't good enough to get the win.

Surely not if you’ve potentially made up your own rule as you’re going. That’s a hard one to bat for.

 

[Shane Heard]

Collingwood must be one bad football team if that's all it took to be undefeated against them.

You basically played half a Collingwood reserves side ..at home in front of your purple army of purple people..and never looked like dominating at any stage.

You should be embarrassed to suggest that your awesome side did as best they could and walk away with a draw.

What a joke of a club Freo are.

Mind boggling

Bitter and twisted. Lol, relax

 

[Plugger35]

It shouldn't be a surprise these draws are happening more often, the umpires try and create close finishes to keep us all watching.

The AFL is almost as scripted as the WWE these days, it's more sports entertainment rather than an actual sport like it used to be.

No argument with me that Freo was bloody average all night except for the very start and the very end (which isn't good enough).

Horrible take

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

You gotta take the little wins hey. A point this week. Maybe a goal sometime in the near future!

You said if he kicked a point we would have won. He did.

You said he’s a spud, I pointed out his current return this season is on par with your CHF on a big/expensive deal.

Take your L bro and go to bed.

I’ve seen this story too many times before. He will be promoted to the top match next week.

If it were to apply, then 18.13(a) would apply as well any time a player throws a ball at the umpire. It’s just s**t umpiring by a s**t umpire. Simple as that.

The only rule I can see possibly applied from that list is (d) engages in time wasting, by not handing the umpire the ball directly back.

Not saying it should've been paid or not, just putting it out there. If we want to be really technical with the rules...

 

[Pies No 1]

Fremantle are bad. That last 5 minutes is how they should have been playing the entire game. So the result of this game indicates Fremantle's issues are mental. They have the personnel to play good, competitive football. No energy and not trying to win for nearly the entire game. Embarrassing team.

 

[SSwans2011]

I thought the free kick against Sullivan was probably unnecessary but heck it's going to be blown out of proportion. It's really not that hard to give the ball back to the umpire.

Further to this, it's exceedingly harsh if this played into the decision, but you even see Sullivan look at the umpire before giving it to Daicos, which I don't think a single commentator mentioned.



I slowed down the footage, but I'm guessing there's copyright issues with posting a video.

Needs to be applied consistency and to just randomly pull one out like this is... questionable... but I suspect they were watching closely because Collingwood do tend to try to slow games down in similar fashions quite a bit when it gets close.

Aren't Pandas close to extinction?

 

[2big sound]

Anyone know what rule in the rule book says he must return it directly (to the umpire)?
There's one for returning it to a player who's been paid a mark or free, but can't find anything about an umpire?

I mean it has to be in there, right?

18.13(b)

Problem with (d) is that the clock was stopped as soon as the whistle was blown. Paying a free kick for that when the clock is stopped is even more ridiculous.

 

[Tom14]

It was paid against Libba against us a month ago. It probably happens once a month it just isn't normally high profile like this one

Reckon it was paid against McCluggage at some point last year, can't remember what game. Was definitely because he gave the ball to a team mate too I think.
