Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Port v Blues Thurs May 30th 7:30pm AEST (AO)

[Jibroni]

Set shot goal kicking standards this season seem to be falling.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Port would be way in front if it wasn't for all the misses

 

[Hoops]

Nope, and the reason for that would be that opposition players would not be allowed in the protected area to tackle if required.

They already can follow a player into the protected area

 

[Randomizor]

Both teams defence leaves a lot to be desired

 

[Fadge]

That’s different. There’s an entirely different rule about obeying an umpires instruction. The Umpire asked Sidebottom directly to give the ball back. Sidebottom did not. Technically the umpire could have pinged him for that.

Really?

Despite we were just told that players are allowed to place the ball on the ground? Unless the umpires tell them otherwise?

 

[MarcusP2]

I don’t think that is the case. Umpires would usually direct them out, and even more likely pay a 50 against players for entering.

You just saw someone follow Aliir into it.

 

[chickenonachain]

One of the great stats of all time the deepest back I’ll sleep we’ll tonight knowing that

 

[MarcusP2]

Boak loves a behind.

 

[SC_Power]

Blues absorbing the Port dominance quite well.

Can see them kicking 4 in 5 minutes to break it open now.

 

[PP34]

What a horrific game of footy

 

[Randomizor]

Really?

Despite we were just told that players are allowed to place the ball on the ground? Unless the umpires tell them otherwise?

Yes. It’s not that complicated. If the umpire tells you to do something, do it. If they don’t, defer to the rulebook.

Damn we got robbed of a nice goal there

 

[Hoops]

Protected area. If allowing that handball, opposition player would not be allowed to enter and it is an unfair advantage.

They do it all the time now. The only time they disallow it is when they run between the guy with the ball and the man on the mark

 

[Cyclonus]

GOTY DENIED

 

[YeoShuey]

Opposition players are allowed to follow a player.

It was a wrong call by Stevic.

They already can follow a player into the protected area

I understand that.

Did someone from Carlton follow Port player into the protected area? If so, were they within 2 metres of Port player the entire time? I didn’t see a Carlton player in that contest within 2 metres of the Port player who took possession.

Damn we got robbed of a nice goal there

Would've been goal of the year IMO.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Like all 6 or so from the whole season??

Check the stats and your own spud in King has more free kicks so far from less games played ya muppet.

Lol 6 for the year

I saw him get 3 in a quarter against the Roos

Aliir just takes Fog to ground without the ball

 

[twiggy4PM]

The AFL machine wants Carlton in finals. That much is obvious

There is a strong link between Stevic umpiring and wins wanted by the AFL. He has a long and profitable career of screwing over non-Victoria clubs and blatantly favouring others and gets rewarded with Grand Final umpiring gigs.

Purely coincidental I'm sure.

Beer goggles.

School night Wormy

 

[JimmyBC]

I’m a big fan of frankie Evans

He's a potato

 

[chickenonachain]

Another high scoring half of football

 

[YeoShuey]

They do it all the time now. The only time they disallow it is when they run between the guy with the ball and the man on the mark

Was there a Carlton player within 2 metres of the guy who took possession? I did not see a Carlton player in the area which makes me think that was why it was not allowed. I could be wrong though.

 

[Elixuh]

Kenny has the blues right where he wants them.
