Dale Thomas' Kick was over the line

[Leapingleobarry]

His kick was clearly over the same line, albeit at opposite ends, as the Geelong kick.

 

[Zeke]

22 points.

No drama.

O'Briens smother was over the line as well

O'Briens smother was over the line as well

IMO, this was worse. He was about 2 metres over the boundary line when he smothered it?

I don't know how the umpire didn't see it

Oh well,shit happens

 

[Willo_]

In all seriousness that should have been a 50 shouldn't it... cos to me it looked blatently over the boundary when he smothered it....

 

[eddiesmith]

Well seeing as O'Brien wasnt forward of the mark then if the smother happened over the boundary Johnson had played on and a throw in results anyway, no 50m if a kick is smothered to the side of the mark but not in front

 

[buzzbuzz]

He could have gone horizontally over the boundary line... right? Not towards Johnson?

 

[Spook]

O'Briens smother was over the line as well

So? It was a ball in after the smother, so what's the problem. You can move sideways on the mark which he did.

 

[JOELY]

it surprised me, but johnson didn't complain at all, and just looked disappointed. made me think whatever happened was fair.

So???? So what if he went sideways over the boundary????

If you need a hand with the rules there is a copy on the AFL web site.

3 goals due to umpire mistakes IMO

1-byrnes 2-thomas over the line 3-obrien over the mark

if all those decisions were correct it would ahve been a much different story

[jerry springer]

if,if,if

if we didnt hit the post 6 times we would of won by 50

see anyone can play this game.thought geelong would be classier in defeat,we havent beat you in 3 years

 

[rose jam]

What was the call on the Byrnes one, over the line or hit the post?

 

[Greg Brady]

Wrong, he did.

FWIW I don't think it was a 50 at all, but Johnson did.

You Carlton morons would say anything as long as it's against Collingwood. So what if he smothered it over the line. Since when is that against the rules? As for saying Thomas was over the line, get a copy of the replay, slow it down frame by frame, make sure both eyey are open and have a good look.

Over the line

Eh? He knows it was a goal, he's merely stating that according to the brand new goal umpiring system which was invented just this evening, Thomas was over the line (even though he wasn't). OP is having a go at the other GU, as he should.

Johnson marked the ball. a smother over the line would indicate that O'brien was over the mark

 

[spanna050]

Johnson marked the ball. a smother over the line would indicate that O'brien was over the mark

Unless Johnson marked the ball over the boundary line!!!! Stop talking sense man!

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Johnson marked the ball. a smother over the line would indicate that O'brien was over the mark

Not if O'Brien went across the boundary horizontally.

 

[Thommo 42]

no it wouldn't, it would indicate that Johnson kicked it off the line
