People will ‘old man yells at cloud’ over the Rachelle thing, but I liked it.

Houston won't play for Port again

 

[Vindicater]

**** me Houston just killed Rankine

 

[eth-dog]

I honestly can't believe how that unfolded. Disgraceful umpiring. How can you:

1. Not see it? There were two umpires right there.
2. Not look at the replay and just retrospectively award the free to Adelaide? Is there a rule saying you can't do this?

Houston should get 6+ weeks.

 

[sameolds33]

**** me Houston just killed Rankine

also killed the game.

 

[eth-dog]

also killed the game.

Disgraceful umpiring again. Butters should get cited for staging

Yep. Suspend him.

Only seen a shitty twitter replay on the phone, but does Houston hit Rankin high or does he basically hit himself hard that he folds Rqnkin in half and Rankin smacks his head into Houston? And if it's the latter, does the AFL care about 'principle point of contact' or is it just if the hit leads to any kind of high impact?


Also, awesome comeback from the Saints

Is Zach Reid a chance get a game next week in the AFL?

No, he's out for the year

Re point 2, i’m pretty sure there actually was a a rule saying they can’t do that.

Okay then, how does such a rule exist?

A few years ago players would frequently point to the big screen to argue they should/should not get a free kick. Umpire rebuttal was they can’t use the big screen to change decisions.

I can’t quote the laws of the game for it, I just know they can’t do it.

Anyone see how they arrived at the (correct) decision to award an out on the full in the last quarter of the Saints-Cats game? Had the sound down and 7 were going over replays, decision took a while but could've just been umps deliberating...

Only 3 teams can win it now imo after lions absolutely bottled it. It’s either a premiership goes to nsw, or the dogs go on a run. The rest are just making up the numbers

 

[div12ressie]

out of the top 8 teams would be good to see port or GWS win

 

[sameolds33]

I'd like GWS to win.

 

[ant555]

Right now we have beaten 4 teams in the 8

 

[HirdyLannister]

Right now we have beaten 4 teams in the 8

More successful than last year!

 

[sameolds33]

More successful than last year!

one year down - 7 to go on Brad's 8 year plan.
