Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[chrisso crow]

Motlop starting to get into flat track mode.

 

[ams4crows]

So proof on camera Port had 19 men on the ground…..I thought that meant the score for the qtr had to be cancelled.

Anyone know the actual rule?

The captain of the opposition has to ask the umpire for a head count I believe

Someone from north could probably clarify?

Thought they scrapped that rule

 

[Crow till I die]

why the hell wasn't that holding the ball. The port player sat just inside the boundary and was tackled and made no attempt. This is just rigged

Are they allowed to refer to the footage?

 

[Crow till I die]

no fing way - now the dogs pinged for holding the ball. So its just outright cheating now

 

[George Kramer]

Bevo is an idiot

 

[ams4crows]

Thought they scrapped that rule

What was it replaced with then?

Seemed exactly the same as the one against the dogs earlier, ump said shame you slipped but that’s an opportunity.

free and fifty from whereever the ball is or the centre circle - whatever is greater advantage.

The one that got paid last week was done incorrectly (no 50m)

I can clarify that we went on to win the flag and that it was awesome.

 

[ABAB]

The Bulldogs might be missing Keath but their other tall defenders have been sh*t tonight.

 

[ams4crows]

Would be nice if the quarter the incident happened the score was reset to the previous quarter breaks score

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Bont wouldn't have the Dogs in front right now, but what a dumb decision to rest him for this game. Beveridge has lost the plot.

 

[chrisso crow]

I'm a North supporter, and think they amended it after the 2018 prelim incident, to any opposition player being able to call it, not just the captain.

Don't quote me on that though. It was a week of mixed emotions when that infamous incident occurred. My wife and kids are WWT supporters, so it was a very tense time in the household.

 

[ams4crows]

Surely the punishment is more than a free kick and 50

 

[Dirty Bird]

When the free + 50 rule came in a decade, decade and a half ago - this (captain calling number count) no longer applied in the afl, however, it still stood for all other leagues. Though, after the 2018 preliminary final when North kicked 0.2*with 19 on the field the SANFL changed their rule to pending league review.

*The mark for the goal had been paid, but the kick was kicked with only 18 on the field

 

[FR0GGY]

What was it replaced with then?

Free and a 50m I think?

 

[hey shorty]

Nothing like cheating to win

 

[chrisso crow]

AFL rule only:

A few weeks after this incident (2008), the AFL introduced a new rule allowing the interchange steward to inform the umpires of interchange errors: specifically, when a player enters the field before the player he is replacing has left the field, or when a player is interchanged without using the interchange gate. In each case, the penalty is a free kick in the centre of the ground or at the spot of the ball at the time, whichever is the greater penalty against the offending team. If the offending team is not in possession of the ball, the umpire shall impose an additional 50-metre penalty against them. Any score or free kicks given to the opposition when an interchange infringement has occurred are cancelled.

No, they ARE shit

 

[ams4crows]

Port play North next week so they'll be back on the premiership bandwagon after next weekend

 

[ABAB]

No, they ARE shit

O'Brien smashed Himmelberg in a half but is making Marshall and Finnalyson look like star.

that was a soft free for a high tackle, barely touched his shoulder
