Imagine holding down the role of idiot the boys club roll out to justify their incompetence and/or corruption.

I hope it pays well because she'll never get her credibility restored.

 

[YeoShuey]

I wonder if it were North v Geelong if this would even be discussed. Think the black and white stripes play a bit in it

Outrage only comes out in this forum only when it is Carlton or Collingwood on the benefiting end of the free kick. Even when the 50s are not there just like this one.

 

[Holden Megroin]

Not being mentioned much this one

Happens every week. Wasn’t clear cut.

 

[CarterS]

Can we get a clarification on the clarification?

Or just not be mental and be there for significant infringements instead of inconsistent on technical calls. Lets not throw the baby out with the dirty bath water.

Rules are rules.

Either have them - or don’t.

 

[Maze]

No.

Ahh good old denial. Even though the umpire has now stated he did.
It's OK to be wrong occasionally.....

 

[Bungeye]

They might script a Cripps free kick goal in the Carlton/Pies game.

Nah Cripps is too unreliable. The perfect script would be a Curnow free on Darcy Moore in the goal square.

 

[YeoShuey]

Good clear explanation by Laura Kane.

Not hard to understand at all. Not 50, but should have been play on.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Rules are rules.

Either have them - or don’t.

Rules aren't rules considering they are driven by context including ever malleable interpretations and umpire discretion.

Why do we need to interpret a book written in English - enforced by English speaking umpires?

Either enforce the rules as they’re written - or get rid of them.

If you can’t get rid of the rules because of like yourself - get rid of the umpires.

Laws are not meant to be interpreted.

They’re meant to be enforced.

Regardless of what you think it should look like.

Andrew Maher and Andrew Gaze need to go to Spec Savers soon.

They want invites to brownlow etc

 

[BigTacoBandit]

He took the mark and continued on without breaking stride clearly running off the line of the mark. He stopped after 2-3 seconds when he realised his mistake of playing on. How you can't see this is bewildering

The umpire never called play on so it wasn't play on.

 

[Smotie2]

So reverse the game and give it to north then.

Of course they stand by the Umpires. Laura kane has no idea what she's talking about

 

[adammania9]

So reverse the game and give it to north then.

Does the 2018 grand final get reversed too?

 

[Engimal v3]

lmao look after half time

 

[Stax on the mill]

Good clear explanation by Laura Kane.

Not hard to understand at all. Not 50, but should have been play on.

Except by those determined to be outraged when it involves the Pies or Blues.

You're forgetting the voice of affirmation complaints against the eagles all those years ago which changed the umpiring so we don't get anything anymore

 

[kickthething]

According to her explanation the whistle means nothing and you can keep charging until an Umpire either calls out Stand or Play on. Very odd thing to say.

And a double down saying the touched vision was inconclusive….fmd.

 

[eddiesmith]

It’s good to know 93.8% of posters on Bigfooty have NFI!

Shes making it up on the spot with that one I reckon.

Fair call but BigFooty supporters no longer care.

Bulldogs were highly complained about and still getting a good run.

If you go over the mark before the ump calls play on, even if the ump takes a week, its a 50.

So the ump should have called play on earlier ... but didn't so it was a 50 for going over the mark.

Toby Tax also.

Umpires have a mandate to umpire him differently to basically every other player in the game.

Nope. In that situation the umpire should call the players back over the mark. As Laura Kane explained perfectly well.

It is not a 50 in any regard.

Go back to 2016 prelim first !
