Cracking game

 

[FKASC]

Ben Keys really thinks he’s him

Edit: all these crows forwards do. So many selfish players trying to kick goal of the years and burning their team mates in better positions

Rachele’s another one

They definitely are, but O’Brien in the ruck isn’t saying much. He’s a bit of a liability these days after having a decent couple of years. Poor man’s Goldstein.

He’s been massive in this last quarter to be fair. Good one SC you dumb campaigner

 

[TY24]

Only took Nicky D 40 disposals to finally hit a target

 

[UseR2006]

The Umps.

 

[Keys]

Too far my arse

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Rubbish running too far call .

VFL umps pulling out all the stops to get their team over the line

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Pies gifted a win at the MCG against a non-Vic, in an absolute shocker. You simply could not script it.

 

[triplegee]

Woeful decision by the umpire.

 

[TY24]

There’s about 15,000 empty seats at the stadium and these poor campaigners have copped the only seats in the place which are staring into the sun

 

[ziad]

Woeful decision by the umpire.

FIFA are less corrupt

Pies gifted a win at the MCG agains a non-Vic, in an absolute shocker. You simply could not script it.

So sick of their predictable close wins. At least we got the ultimate against one against them.

Is there a "national" sports body more biased, incompetent and unprofessional than the AFL anywhere in the world?

Perhaps somewhere in Africa you may find one. Possibly in totalitarian regimes somewhere.

A good one this week that would get AFL House rock hard if they saw it.

Dutch referee 'banned for life' after being spotted celebrating title with winning team

Jan Smit has been suspended for his actions, according to reports.

Four red cards to the opposition then 15 minutes of added time until the champions scored. Then joined them on stage for the celebration and sung their anthem.

Fourth division, mind.

Just watched the replay of the ump pinging rankine for running too far. I counted 10-12 steps after the first bounce.

Either the ref missed the first bounce or he was paid off. No way you can **** up a decision that bad. Must have had money on the game. For those who want to take a look you need to go to around 30 seconds left and in the fourth quarter

The issue is not so much whether or not Rankine ran too far, it's simply how many times players run that far and never get pinged for it. Would be so many examples from that game alone. It's a rule that's adjudicated solely on feel, and the ump has got the feel of that all wrong.

I think the fumble undoes him as well, any time you fumble or shape to handball and change your mind I reckon the umps get itchy and add a few metres on.

Deciding a one score game on the year's first kicking in danger decision would be equally silly, given how the rule is adjudicated 99.99999% of the time.

Took his bounce essentially bang on the edge of one of those strips. The lab has 15.6m when he crosses over the second strip.

Any danger a player ran two strips of grass without getting pinged today? I'd put my house on it.

 

[Spange]

So by that presumption he ran 24 meters with 12 bounces which is equivalent to 2 meter stride lengths. Putting it into perspective Usain Bolt at 6’5 ran 2.44 meter stride lengths in his world record 100 meter sprint. Rankine is 5’10.

I reckon they put a bit of mustard on 24 meters.

On another note, the GWS v Dogs game has been a wet fart so far

The most frustrating part is that Collingwood fans are now saying things like "See! They measured it and he ran over 15 metres. Correct free kick."

If they paid every free kick to the letter of the law there would be well over 100 given every match. How convenient that they choose this moment to pay one, when it directly stands to affect the result of a Pies game.

I believe there’s been footage volunteered by a Pies fan that shows Sheed kicked a point. AFL are now considering retrospectively awarding the game to Collingwood.

Ticking it off is fine, but the flipside is they're saying that umpires around the league make a mistake 100s of times per weekend on this rule, but aren't doing anything about it.
