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

[peetoo]

No, no it doesn’t.

But it should be. Rules don’t change according to placment on ground, or shoudnt

 

[Hawker_85]

Moore, Ginnivan, Macdonald, Sicily, Newcombe. Few guys there that absolutely LOVE milking questionable frees, lol.

I'd be more concerned about the bruise free trash your team are churning out lately if I were you champ.

 

[SuperMal]

So that was the only atrocious call? Did you watch the rest of the game with your eyes closed? As there were dubious calls and non calls throughout the match that benefitted both teams at various stages. The most egregious one was the “goal” that looked more like a point to Green, that wasn’t even reviewed.

Clearly my post escaped you - you’re justifying the game to a Collingwood supporter - the free was suspect….he has no interest in the outcome.

Nah, I'm alright thanks

 

[Hawker_85]

Nah, I'm alright thanks

Denial can work as a coping mechanism I guess.

Oh no, we're terrible – I'm the first to admit that. Not entirely sure what that has to do with the Hawks playing for free kicks though.

So just…ignore the point that was made and deflect?

The point that poster made was that he thought amongst others, "Macdonald, Sicily, Newcombe" love playing for frees. This is obviously bullshit. None of those players is a regular recipient of soft frees, in fact Sicily gets shafted by umpires every week due to his reputation. A few isolated counter examples don't change that.

Even Ginni has been deemed by the AFL not to have been getting his share. Look at the advantage he messed up earlier in the game after being clearly caught high. The reason he messed that up is because he's so used to NOT getting legitimate high frees that when his opponent does get him high he's found it safer to assume he should be playing on. But given your points, I suspect you didn't see that incident and only watched the AFL's "last two minutes" video. If that wasn't the case you'd have seen all the questionable frees earlier in the game that cost us a comfortable 5 goal win.

 

[Angus Young]

The decision down ground was flipping shit

Umpires love to decide a game with ticky touch soft garbage.

We all know this.

 

[rei154]

That’s 100% play on

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I wouldn't have been too upset if it wasn't paid because his body started low, but I can see it being paid very easily.

Fair bit of carry on over three decisions that are objectively there, and subjectively require some gymnastics to make not there.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

You lot aren't talking about the down field free kick after Green laid out Sicily are you??

That is paid every day of the week. Anger should be directed at Green, it was stupid.

Nah but you forget that a prehistoric commentator said that it isn't, therefore it can't be!!!!

To be fair I didn’t agree or disagree with what was said. As a matter of fact I enjoy watching Hawthorn play. Was just saying that it was deflecting the point that was being made

Sometimes points are so stupid they don't deserve replies. I'm sorry for giving an undeserved response.

Yeh, I'm stunned that some people don't think this was a free. You can't barrel into someone after they've kicked, this is pretty much always paid as a down field free.

Holden clearly doesn't watch much footy.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Can't believe people don't think the downfield free was there. Clearly cleaned Sicily up and the ball was clearly gone (tried to take a snip to show everyone but Kayo goes black when you try and take a snip). Those are paid every week.

I agree the Ginnivan one wasn't there and shouldn't have been paid but that was at CHB and he kicked it straight to Haynes anyway.

If you want a screenshot, use the "last 2 minutes' video up on the AFL site. Set it to half speed and pause at the right spot, and you can see clear separation between Green and Sicily after the ball has been kicked, proving the hit definitely came after the disposal was made (not by much, but definitely late, making it a correct decision).

Alright, lets highlight every "late" hit in the Sydney Geelong game tomorrow and see how many are paid, let alone paid when the score is tied late in 4th quarter

 

[HairyO]

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

We could compare Ambassador payments. Jumped up massively during the week for GWS.

Why? If it's there, it's there, doesn't matter when or what the scores are.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

lol another game ruined by these maggots

You just won a game from a soft free

Pipe down

 

[BIGHAWK23]

The last 10 ten minutes has been ruined by umps. Ginnivan dives forward/down to get a free kick, Newcombe throws the head back when there's no high contact and gets the free, a down field free kick from a bump directly as he kicked it called late and down field.

Watch the umps back every single bit of this to the hilt and no commentator/footy journo dare criticise them. Sucks.

Bet your not bitching about umps now

Pipe down with your 17k on a standalone Sat night game

 

[BIGHAWK23]

AFL really needs to start handing out lengthy bans for blatant staging.
99% of the time they do nothing, 1% of the time it's a small token fine. Hardly a deterrent.

Papley will never play again

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Let the players decide the outcome of a game not the f****** umps.

The 2 free kicks prior to the last one were a disgrace too. Ginni only playing for the free that was barely there and then Newcombe throwing his head back like there was a sniper in the ground.

Embarrassing

Wonder if your still complaining about umpiring decisions deciding outcomes

 

[BIGHAWK23]

How’s the Hawks campaigners coming out after the game trying to justify the umpiring? This is like Bruce Lehrmann suing for defamation after essentially getting away with it.

How’s the dockers fan coming onto a thread that doesn’t involve their team to complain about supporters talking about their own team
Like that narcissistic dork in the corner of a bar wanting someone to ask him about his opinion
