Was also a terrible free paid against Ryder earlier in the game because the ump had his back to him when he nominated for the ruck contest

That was messed up.
They really need to simplify it.
If they dont want a 3rd man up, then make it so.
If a 3rd player goes up, then the disadvantaged team gets a free kick.
This nominating and putting your hand up bullshit is trivial.
 
The arm lift/shrug is the shitty part. It turns a below the shoulder and legal tackle in to a reckless head high tackle as the arm raises.
No easy answer to this and the rules and interpretations are becoming more and more complex every year. I absolutely do not envy what umpires have to do, especially in those pressure situations.
Bottom line, Port should have put them away well before that last call...
If you don't have faith in the umpires what about letting the MRP sort it out. What if, in the Monday/Tuesday review, they penalise him so many points which meant that if he did it again he misses a game. Do you reckon he'd think twice about doing it again?
 
I was out for dinner for my birthday, and when I walked into the place there was a bar in the corner with a TV that had the game on. An hour later I heard cheering in the distance, and a guy walks back to the table shaking his head. I asked him what the result was and he goes -

'a goal after the siren for a high tackle free kick'
I go - 'shuey right?'
he goes - 'yeah how did you know?'

As much as Weags supporters might whine about us getting fixated on certain players - some patterns always hold true
 
Really pissed off with watchAFL. Over in Houston for work and logged in to watch the replay this morning. One minute in it cuts to 3/4 time, then 5 minutes into the last quarter it cuts to a post-game interview with the final score showing. Pathetic.
 
Hope Port complain to the AFL and it causes a shit storm in the media. Get that garbage out of the game, it's been happening for years, only this time it didn't cost a team 4 points, it knocked them out of the finals! Stand up and actually do something AFL. You said you'd fine stagers, yet no fines, you said you'd stop rewarding duckers, yet Selwood and Shuey still get unlimited frees.

To stop this ongoing debate about whether the free kick was there or not.....what does the actual law say about high tackles? What is the wording? If someone could post the actual wording on here and then all of us have an accurate guide to work with.

Keep up the delicious salt friends, you're probably even melting more than Port supporters.

Nice display of unhealthy obsession.
Same time next week, something tells me this place will be much brighter ;)

After a once in a lifetime win you spend the night trawling through your rival's board and compiling all their posts... and we're the ones with the obsession?

Do you have any self-awareness at all?

I turned on at 6am here this morning and the game was all over the place. Jumping back and forth continuously. So much so that I had to put it down and continue my sleep. Then when I woke up and pushed the "Watch from Start." button it took me to the post game show showing the replay of the Shuey incident. Ruined what sounds like a great game.
 
and on the decision itself, the AFL had a small window of time to do something about this tactic and they decided to make this move legal. I'm not surprised it's come to this crap.

That's your own connection not watchafl's stream. Same with the Houston one.
