Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Hawks v GWS Sat June 8th 1:45pm AEST (Uni of Tassie)

[Andronicus]

The 2 flops just before were the real issue.

 

[Handsuper47]

Sure the umpiring could be considered controversial, but if the Giants were as good as they should be they would have buried the Hawks long before something like that could have ever happened. I'm starting to think the Giants are never going to arrive.

Either way Laura Kane will tick it all off with flying colours

I wonder if she'll tick off GWS getting an armchair ride with 2 byes vs the hawks playing 13 straight?

Never mind the fact hawks get no prime time games despite playing some entertaining footy. Should we sneak into the 8 can only hope the final is a day game as won't have played a night game since round five back in April!

Makes up for when we got robbed against Port.

If the time keepers did their job they wouldn't have had an extra 21 seconds.

Lol bullshit

I can't remember a season where umpire influence has determined the result late in a game as much as this season. Put the whistle away like last year if it's come to this.

Anyone arguing that Green's bump on Sicily is not late (split second late, yes) needs to have their eyes checked, or open their other eye. Get your hand off it.

This gets paid every time, and has so for at least the last 20 years.
Let me ask you this, what decision would you honestly expect the umpire to pay if it was a player from your team that was bumped like this. You would be calling blue murder.

stop obsessing about Hawthorn and worry about your own lot

On the balance of play the Giants were lucky to still be in it

The umpiring sooks tears taste delicious

 

[Romeoh1]

Also gets let go all the time.

Let’s just see what the final call is - each person's perception is their own.

Well didn’t the ump pay it? So that’s the end of it. Doesn’t matter what your perception of it is, or mine or dopey dermie’s. But for the record it was a free kick for mine.

You will find most are questioning the Ginnivan and Newcombe free kicks late that led to the Sicily decision.

Personally IMO the Sicily decision was right. The 2 that led up to it were not especially the Ginnivan one who only had the intention of drawing a free.

 

[BunnyMoto]

Add the worst of the lot to that list- Sicily.
Amazing how he gets such a favourable look when his antics have got him suspended throughout his career. Normally reputation puts off umpires giving free kicks but apparently Sicily doesn’t have a blemish. Horrific

Bit rich coming from a supporter of the club Walters plays for

Righto, no flags.

 

[MinerBoy]

After or as?

It was after. Not by much but it doesn't need to be.

He would have scored a point at least even if it wasn't downfield though (but that's irrelevant)

No one cares that it’s Hawthorn. If the teams were reversed people would comment the same.

Again, its another dubious decision in the final stages of a game which has changed the result.

They also had the benefit of it (rub of green) over the course of the game and even more clearly for most of the final quarter.

Absolutely, Ginnivan not getting a high free at the end of the first quarter which resulted in a turnover and goal was one of the worst non calls i've seen this year

Except it wasn't dubious and didn't change the result.

It's not an official melt thread until Plugger wades in. My day is complete.

Plenty whinging about the Green bump too.

I wasnt paying enough attention to the game re: Newcombe and Ginni. Bump pretty sure these things happen in every game and there is inconsistency in every game. Just saying.

I love the Collingwood supporters whinging about Ginnivan now he is not at their club.
Might just take a bit of time for us to wash the Collingwood off him

How good, young hawks side playing 13 straight and get the win despite the GWS franchise coming in fresh off their 2nd bye for the year. Dear looks twice the player of Cadman.

Great to see the underdog minnows with no prime time fixtures, no AFL hand outs and no academy come out on top. AFL House will be spewing!

And how many father-sons are on the Giants list?

When you're a plastic franchise propped up by the league you don't need 'em.

Cmon mate you had 20 picks in the first round for 2 years straight!

 

[Dewyyyyy]

That was quick, not a surprise tho, clearly obvious.

Maybe open your other eye......it was late all day every day.

I'd say the most dubious part of the entire thing was Breust managing to get the kick. I'd have backed anyone to have scored at least a point but it was glasses down when it was Breust.
