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

[Call Me Cake]

Nothing more enjoyable than listening to Essendon fans cry.

Come on Cats. Prove once and for all Essendon love a soft kill but gutless against the big dogs.

That umpiring was an absolute rort and any fan of footy would know that. You are the lowest of low.

Hope karma does it's thing.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Absolutely disgraceful umpiring. Sad

Your team has done nothing yet champion

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Peter Wright dropping another mark.

The umpires haven't helped Essendon in this quarter but they haven't helped themselves.

Oh please. There’s be a mushroom cloud over your house if the saints copped that quarter.

 

[Hoops]

I think the difference is Geelong have a better tackling technique so they get the holding the ball calls there way with effective tackles

Geelong would be close to bottom for htb frees this year

 

[Roosurgence]

Worst umpiring I have ever seen - absolute disgrace. Bush league.

We get it every week.

The joys of getting the worst 4 umpires every week.

The games a pantomime now.

Too much shit umpiring deciding games.

 

[Ambrosia]

All stems from being outscored in a quarter Essendon dominated

A bit hard to fight with both hands tied behind your back. Umpires have swung the contest.

 

[smasha]

4 umps aint working.

Blunders galore every match.

One week,pay every htb,the week or even game after,don't pay the htbs.

So confusing and frustrating.

 

[Bedi]

This umpiring, it's like 2008 geelong all over again

huh? I dont remember any contentious umpiring 2008

 

[tigs2010]

"Umps got them all correct"

 

[Bunnings]

It makes me sick to see Dangerfield out there tonight. He should have been suspended after his disgusting tackle on Walsh last week.

Oh poor baby, are you gonna be ok?
Walsh shouldn’t have flopped, he wouldn’t have got a free though so I guess he got what he wanted

 

[HTPunter]

I switched over to the F1 Sprint Race during the 2nd quarter and then the Melbourne Storm during half time because Geelong were getting reamed by the umpires, I switched back to the game a minute into the 3rd quarter. Much better effort from the boys in hi-vis that quarter.

Tell your Geelong mates that. They are sitting here coming up with every excuse under the sun for why it doesn’t count - including playing away from home as a home game, and a historic free kick differential.

Regardless of that shit, Essendon had Geelong players cold about 5 times that quarter, 3-4 of which were HTB before the new interpretation anyway, but all were easily there with the “new” interpretation that lead to the AFL bragging about how much better it made the game.

 

[juice t]

Don't forget "Jakey" Stringer

It's like Paul Roos in his Fox Footy days

Every name used to end in a Y

 

[nipst@r]

Surely umpiring dept and coaches can call it honestly.

Umps have had a absolute stinker. It happens. Think if we are going to stick with sub for players, umps should have a sub. Sub 1 or 2 out as just not there day, if it's okay to sub a player why not sub a ump for poor performance.

 

[JayJ20]

**** this BS umpiring

 

[Gavin Excell]

Jobe tears

 

[Jimthegreat]

Your team has done nothing yet champion

But we have won a final in the last 20 years at least.

 

[Roddy]

LOL.
Welcome to Richmond of the last 8 years.

But I agree ,The Geelong Boy's Club is leading from the front tonight.

A Shocking shirt front of the mic holder.

How many swallowed HTBs in that quarter?

#cfl

Lol.
Welcome to Hawthorn of the last half a century.

Analysis - Free kick headf**ked

Richmond,the last 8 years.

We are miles below the 17th team in frees ffs.

Every bloody week.

Expecting another rort tomrrow.

Always wear a men's nappy to games now to protect me from the reaming.

Another opportunity to explain your CFL conspiracy. I will keep asking.

 

[HTPunter]

Dangerfield non-suspension aside, anyone who thinks Walsh “flopped” has never played any degree of competitive footy and has most likely been at the bottom of the pool intelligence wise their entire life.

Amazing to think he did it deliberately, rather than was tackled forwards with his arms pinned while he ran at pace.

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Hmmm. Not sure. I recall what the commentators were saying as being the interpretation a few years back but may have changed. However agree with you that a lot of the time the commentators don’t know the rules.
The best example I see called all the time incorrectly is if the centre bounce goes outside the centre circle it must be recalled - Not the rule.

Commentators don't have a clue, if you're under pressure in the 9 you can handball through the goals....You will get pinged if no pressure....been like this for several years now...

 

[Cringle]

Eddie Betts is shocking

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Farcical umpiring. Ruined a great contest.
