Umpiring North v Pies R14 - Should have been 50m ?

[Red Black and Blue]

That unpaid 50 after what they have paid recently is mental. Probably the most egregious over stepping the mark of not 1 but 2 players, that Ive not seen paid, insane.

 

[Joffaboy]

WATCH: 'That's got to be 50!' Were Roos stitched up by crucial last-minute 50m penalty miss?

Two Magpies sprinted over the mark to tackle Bailey Scott not realising he'd been paid the mark, and were allowed to retreat by the…

Watching that again, how could that not be a 50? the umpire blew the whistle as a mark and both players ran at least 5 metres over the mark.

My god that is the most gutless biased decision I have seen.

If the AFL doesn't come out and confirm that was a major mistake after their limp dick response after Hardwick had a sook, the conspiracy theories will look a lot more justifiable.

 

[YeoShuey]

lol how can you possibly say that they didn't affect the result when it's proven that they did by not calling the 50m which would've resulted in a likely goal. bizarre post by you

Well thank god you are not an umpire then.

AFL needs more of this common sense umpiring.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Which is exactly what happens throughout the game. Get a warning, step back.

What probably didn’t help was North played on immediately following the mark. Umpire still had time to give it though.

He played on AFTER the ump made it clear that he wasn't paying it.
Was a smart time to play on, as both players had their back to him, looking at the ump with their hands in the air because I'm sure both thought they had just given a 50 away.

So we ignore the NM player played on?

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I agree. Your bloke played on and ran into trouble. You caught a lucky break. It's ok to admit it.

It's not play on until the umpire calls it.

North were absolutely robbed. Only COllingwood would get away with a warning there - and maybe Sydney.

Crisp's 2nd quarter goal should have been overturned as it was touched.

 

[DocSholl]

Unfortunately just an umpire not being big enough for the moment. That gets paid 100 times out of 100 in the first three and a half quarters, and gets paid the other way around too.

 

[danster168]

Wild people are blaming the umpires, North were up by 50 in the third quarter...

but it's a wooden spoon team, what did u honestly expect? You really thought Collingwood wouldn't come back? crazy. You need to be up by 7-8 goals at 3/4 time to beat Collingwood because they don't give up and usually the umps gift them a couple.

The umpires mistakes are independent of whether a wooden spooner should've held on or not.

 

[PizzaPie]

Pies earned their close wins last year- were tough and skilful and valiant when it mattered. And credit to them for getting back into the game today but north should certainly have been having a shot on goal at the end there today. Our game has lots of rules that are open to interpretation, but that one isn’t-it’s just a clear 50.
Anyway good on north- hopefully they continue to back themselves and are defs a chance to knock off the dees nest week. Comon north.

You have to be within striking distance to be any chance of benefiting from any umpiring luck at the end... it's true of every game. The best way to ensure luck has nothing to do with the result is not giving up a 50 point lead. You tell them I said that.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Worst umpiring I've seen this year.

The AFL must really hate North Melbourne.

 

[MickG88]

Your eyes don't work. Explanation done.

He fended off high first and if he didn't duck away, Nick wouldn't of got taken high. They changed the rule a couple of years that if you duck then that's prior opportunity. I think I need more explanation.

 

[danster168]

I see you fail to mention that the umpire called it back allowing Sheezel his shot on goal. It really didn’t matter in the end but was just umpire incompetence, and not some grand conspiracy theory.

But why was it called advantage pies in the first place. there's 4 umps out there. I'm sure 1 of them isn't corrupt.

 

[domus]

Daicos is a brilliant player. But that.. come on. That’s just manipulating

The Hawthorn smalls ducked into tackles all day and were rewarded for it. That was a dumb chest bump on a head.

 

[paulige]

paulige Soggy2112 - I guess Collingwood were lucky this afternoon was the 1 in 10 times the free we were discussing wasn't paid....

'Lucky dip'.

As another poster said yesterday - you've just got to hope you're on the right side of it occasionally...

Yep - may as well enjoy it.

 

[deck]

Yet let two players sweat on a player that took a mark.

And ran well off the line of where he marked it. The umpire made the correct call of giving him the benefit of momentum caused it. And as is the right of the defenders to make sure that he is not playing on.

The correct call is to reset the mark.

 

[WCEbrody]

So a wooden spooner can't concede such a lead but the reigning premiers can allow to be down by 54. it'd double standards.

Sure they can, but don't cry ''umpiring'' when you shit the bed.

 

[beerbandit]

Umpires will get the prison bars over the line, just like they did in the grand final

 

[Tiges1229]

I amazed Richmond won 3 flags the way they were officiated. Sure those Tiger teams were rough and played on the edge but the best team in the league almost ALWAYS losing the free count. Something terribly amiss.

100% and still on the bottom of the free kick ladder, what is it now 7 years in a row , even with a diff coach and diff game plan we are still last but magically Gold Coast who now have Dimma and use an old Richmond game plan and are 3rd on the free kick ladder,
the league is corrupt , and todays north game just confirms it more so.

 

[deck]

So, putting your hand into someone's face isn't fending high?

He didn't do that but Stephenson did.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Don’t love the rule, but given it exists, yeah, should’ve been 50

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Umpire blew the whistle very late after the mark. I don't know why? Which is why both players continued to run at the North player.

 

[The 747]

The amount of times this team has been pulled through for a narrow win via helpful officiating......

 

[MisterMarcus]

24 frees to 14 in a game that was statistically even everywhere else, certainly suggests the Pies got a monumental rub of the green.

should of got 50, Bobby Hill marks the ball at CHF late in the 3rd.

North player runs straight through protected zone at least 3-4 seconds after the mark not following a Pies player.

No 50 paid.

But I guess it's only North that had missed calls.
