Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Cats v Bombers Sat June 29th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[Donakebab]

So are the voices in the umpires ears telling them how bad they have ****ed up?

 

[Great8]

Going to be a riot here

Good
Can’t wait for the day until someone belts an umpire

 

[Plugger35]

Essendon supporters booing like West Coast supporters.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Love seeing the umps **** over Essendon

Essendon supporters booing like West Coast supporters.

what did you think of the rushed behind decision>?

 

[SuperSub17]

Any chance of a commentator who actually knows the rules?

They are all an embarrassment

 

[Elixuh]

If you squint enough you can see the outline of the hoops under the umpires fluro shirts

Which bit was wrong?

 

[nicka94]

new holding the ball interpretation is shit

 

[mxett]

where was Ridley's prior?

 

[MJG14]

Oh, the new interpretation is back again?

 

[ptrg]

Zero prior. Can see him making an attempt with the arm pinned.

Instead umpire went against new rule and let it go much longer than usual, which cooked him.

This sport is an utter joke.

 

[Hoops]

So the htb against Geelong is ok despite equally having no opportunity

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Holy shit essendon are getting absolutely reamed this qtr

That’s not even the ****ing interpretation. Had his hand ****ing held and no chance of actually disposing it legally

 

[Mibie]

Yay umps. ****ing pathetic w***ers

 

[Plugger35]

what did you think of the rushed behind decision>?

You can't blame the umpires, I would never do that.

 

[Satan]

Bombers were robbed by umpire 3 times , draper was front on interference , stringer no prior opp, and was bombers player was under pressure in goal square

I love the new rule except for this exact scenario.

 

[StillAtLarge]

I hate Essendon as much as the next guy but my god they're getting reamed here. Stringer Draper and Ridley all stiff

 

[SuperSub17]

Which bit was wrong?

You can still be penalised inside the 9 metres if the umpire thinks you were not under sufficient pressure.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not sure how one can argue against that Menzie deliberate.

He was under no actual pressure and didn't have to step over. Couldn't hack it so tried to take an easy option.

Good umpiring.

 

[Sherrinator]

No prior there at all and not protecting the man with ball to stop him going to ground. Umpires are clueless and I hate Essendon and the campaigners equally.

 

[tiger_tough]

Hell of a ride the cats have got from the umps in the last 10 minutes. 3 goal swing.

 

[Foucault1989]

where was Ridley's prior?

Arm pinned, spun around 3 times.

It's bloody awful but it's how umpires are instructed. It's a joke. Who thinks this is what the game needs?
