Game Day Around The Grounds Rnds 6 - 10

[Aphrodite]

76 interchanges

Huge penalty with 45sec left on the clock & Norf in front.

 

[Blues177]

That boo was very long lasting..

 

[thylacine60]

Well that's one way to ruin a game I guess....

same game was played, I guess we could move away from "rule of the week" to "which rule do we ignore this week cause the game is exciting and a lowly team have played above expectations and deserve a better finish"?........

 

[Wickzki]

Norf happens sometimes

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I would never ever want us to win like that in the same circumstances.

 

[thylacine60]

go you tick dockers........

 

[Wickzki]

I would never ever want us to win like that in the same circumstances.

If you break the rules the call needs to be made

Regardless of how long is left in the game

I can't blame the umpires for calling the game by the rules. Had Sydney lost without the call being made it'd undermine the umpiring fraternity far worse.

Sadly it's one rule that's not open to interpretation.

garbage - do you ever think about what you type? seriously, it's as legitimate a rule as any other - like the one where jack newnes won the game v freo

wut? that's the major problem with our rules?

The rule is there, but I myself wouldn't take any satisfaction or joy out of another club's unintentional interchange mistake.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

North board is unbelievable right now

“We need hooligan culture.

Somebody needs to make sure these ****s don't get home in one piece.

Give me a South American football response.

Utterly rigged.”

It was their own steward who made the damn mistake!

 

[Aphrodite]

Why?

Interchange rule was broken - 76 interchanges & the max is 75.

Rules are rules Elmer.

"we need a game with no rules!" or "we need a game with rules that are ignored when it seems a fairytale victory will be stolen from us"

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

The rule is there agreed, but if we played like we did like the Swans for much of that game against a lowly ranked opponent and only won because of a blunder from the opposition's interchange stewards, I wouldn't take any joy or satisfaction out of the win.

 

[T2B_]

Nothing surer after a close loss especially when technicalities are involved that the losing club's supporters will bang on about how it's rigged and the sport sucks and how it's the reason they can't have any joy in life anymore.

You can rest assured Horse would've told them that they were extremely lucky today and to count their lucky stars that North screwed up. During the week he'll likely train them as though it was a loss like many good coaches do when they've escaped.

They'll also take the 4 points and run

1. you are only saying that for effect
2. the 4 points is way more important than any supporter's decision to play martyr

 

[Ezayyak]

I would never ever want us to win like that in the same circumstances.

Why? It is a rule that requires zero interpretation. Not like a a fifty fifty holding the ball, over the shoulder etc. This is a clear rule with zero interpretation required. A hardset concrete rule. Probably the only rule in the game with a consequence that does not require human interpretation.

8 losses in a row a possible giveaway to their general crapness - not sure why the angst...........

Just feels bad for North's supporters and players when their interchange steward cost them a game.

The rule is black and white as it gets though.

What are you on about.

The Swans were in front for most of the game.

NORTH MELBOURNE 3.3 5.3 10.4 14.6 (90)
SYDNEY 3.6 7.7 11.7 14.9 (93)

 

[RAPPA]

That rule indiscretion is the kind of stupidity and heart breaking moment that I’d expect from our beloved Blues

tipping that steward will get a run around in the bush for a week or two - it's a massive mistake to make in the context of a building team........

Exactly this.

The dissent call in our win over GWS was far more questionable than the call in today's game. That was extremely open to interpretation and it did help change the outcome on the day
