Carlton vs Richmond

[Tas]

Half time, 31 free kicks. Madness. They can't possibly rack up over 60 frees in a game can they?

 

[stewie griffen]

I liked the dig by Darcy at Margetts for daring to call for a review... what else could he do u twonk

 

[FR0GGY]

Are they blind, the finger goes back and then returns to normal position. Gibbs couldnt have faked that. Conclusively touched. Settle Darcy and Taylor.

 

[BLPC08]

It was kicked off the fingers, unlucky but correct call.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

I think that was the worst quarter of footy I've seen this year.

And wow to that review. 50/50 decisions have to go to the goal umpires original decision. All the review system has done is given umpires another way to get their faces on TV. Which they use at every possible opportunity of course.

 

[Catswin12]

The whole commentary team is delusional

Commentary at 7 is off its head.

Except Ling.

 

[Cazalys]

Some posters here need to watch the game and form their own opinions, not just go off what those absolute ****wits in commentary box say (Richo excluded).

Clearly touched.

 

[red+black]

That was not clearly touched. Thus, original call should be confirmed, that is, a goal.

Terrible terrible decision.

Why is a geriatric in charge of the video review? Bet his eyesight is not the best.

Umpires ******* ruin this sport.

Umpires allow this sport to be played. I think subpar skills of our full time players (as opposed to our part time umpires) at the top level ruin this sport.

 

[SdKfz 181]

goal or not, we are playing like shit and deserve to lose..

 

[Necromancer Beth]

That is f***ing bullshit

Two goal turnaround

It was touched. You mad about Carlton taking St Kildas spot in the 8?

 

[placebo]

Pretty average game to watch at the moment.

Jack Riewoldt has to be one of my least favourite players in the league. The epitome of the type of forward I can't stand. Still want Richmond to win though. And that ball was clearly touched, commentary team is obstinate.

Bryce Gibbs is a hack

Edit: Not really i like him

 

[Mercurial89]

For those saying it was CLEARLY touched, get off it. There was nothing CLEAR about it, in all honesty it probably was touched but in every case like that all year it has been inconclusive and goes to the goal umpire (which would haave been agoal in this case). What pisses people off is the inconsistency in nearly every facet of our game.

off the review system, i really thought umpire was going to call kicking in danger.

 

[THRILLHO]

Deserved to be a goal simply from the weak effort Gibbs put in.

How do Carlton supporters continue to justify this guy? He's pathetic.

Bryce Gibbs is a hack

Finally! Something we can all agree on

Half time, 31 free kicks. Madness. They can't possibly rack up over 60 frees in a game can they?

based on the ones given there are 200 missed

 

[Vitalogy]

It could of been touched, we can't determine the depth of field of the camera, the footage was inconclusive so therefore they should of gone with the goal umpires original call.

 

[Gavin Excell]

FFS let the game flow and stop blowing the whistle

 

[Strauchanside]

AFL needs to bring in 'Snicko' technology, or 'Hot spot.' They would assist this touched ball issue surely?

 

[The Karma Bus]

Fingers always just jolt like that right after a ball goes past, from the wind..

Lol at the calls that it wasn't touched..

Now this i agree with.. Wtf effort was that to smash through the line of the ball and kill it..

 

[BACCS]

There was nothing inconclusive about it, the ball was very clearly touched. Brilliant decision.

 

[Bardo State]

It could of been touched, we can't determine the depth of field of the camera, the footage was inclusive so therefore they should of gone with the goal umpires original call.

How else do you explain Gibbs' fingers bending back and then going back to the same position? The only logical call was to call it touched.

Long answer yes, i think you have to understand we watch the game to see umpires the players just get in the way.
