Official umps cost port Adelaide thread

[tek87]

the Hoff's kicking at goal was another major reason. he choked

 

[boncer34]

My favourite was the free kick to Tuohy for "front-on contact" even though he was the one running with the flight of the ball.

So that means he doesn't have a front?

 

[Hungdaddy]

The Hawkins volleyball manoeuvre was hilarious, honestly he must have pissed himself laughing after he had got away with that one.

 

[Pike13]

It's embarrassing to the AFL that as a neutral supporter, I am extremely frustrated and angry after watching a game of football.

That's exactly how I felt!

 

[pjcrows]

Protected area? Pfft. That was last year's rule, not this year's rule.

 

[Seeds]

The play on call was fair enough if they had called it the same for the rest of the players. Tuohy took longer.

Geelong threw the ball so many times in the last and not one of them got called, meanwhile Danger gets two HTB decisions his way and the disposal was no different to the 15 others that weren't called.

Then there's Gray getting r*ped in the forward line and the umps not paying it.

AFL is ******.

The only team who got those frees deep forward was port who had 3 all twenty metres from goal including one In the last qtr. Menzel and Hawkins constantly man handled all night and only one that was further out and so blantantly obvious it couldn't not be paid. Gray got one he shouldn't have and wasn't given one he should of got. Maybe the umps just got sick of him throwing his hands up crying wolf all the time before the ball even got to the contest.

 

[Hawks1994]

Not sure it cost them the game as there was still a bit of time left, but I think there should be some sort of leway for marking contests where the player who takes the grab gets up slowly after being hurt in the contest OR from a pack or player landing/lying on top of him. There will certainlybe a far bit of interest in this aspect for the rest of the weekend
Having said that, Charlie probably needed to be a little more aware of the situation

 

[Page8383]

My favourite one was porkins getting spun around, chucking the ball in the air and the volleyball punching it 3 seconds later

Haha yes
He actually threw it up in the air with both hands.

I laughed out loud with a mouthful of yoghurt

Got it all over myself

Dixon call was right, difference was Geelong players were hot on it comparative to other teams. Free kick against whoever it was in ports forward line when Gray was getting tackled was a disgrace though, so was the free kick to Tuohy.

 

[SuperSub17]

So that means he doesn't have a front?

No, it means the Port player who contested it was facing the ball. It's only a free kick if he isn't.

 

[Sttew]

Never let it be said that umps can't change a result. They certainly did tonight. 30 second call was valid though.

So what is OP banging on about?

 

[BotsMaster]

Couldn't watch it to the end with the match fixing umps and the barracking commentators.

Putrid spectacle

 

[Gasometer]

The one that got me was Grey nearly holding the mark while being tackled in the marking contest, only for the Geelong player to come in from the front and hold the ball in with his arms around Grey's neck. If that was a midfielder, would get called every time.

Maybe the Umpire was worried about his Hyundai Excel out in the car park if he paid that free?

 

[Gods_Son23]

Waiting for Chris Scott

 

[estibador]

You mean the one where it took him 15 seconds to get off the ground and struggled to compose himself to take the kick?

He (Tuohy) well and truly went over his 30 seconds then, considering the clock started for Trengove the second he hit the ground.

 

[Blue1980]

There was a clear home town bias tonight.

And I don't usually bash umpires

 

[Sttew]

Cats supporter or not. What a fuxking disgrace.

Welcome back BC

 

[Generalissimo]

i like how when other teams get a ride which gifts them games, no one really talks about it. but with geelong, people are blowing up.

The fact that in recent times we haven't gotten the armchair rides at home enjoyed by, say, West Coast or Port is probably the only think keeping Kardinia Park from being an invulnerable fortress. Couple of iffy ones in a single game go our way and everyone's all like "uh... oh..."

 

[boncer34]

No, it means the Port player who contested it was facing the ball. It's only a free kick if he isn't.

So you can be smashed front on if you're not facing the ball and its play on?

 

[*PAF]

So you get 30 seconds from when the mark is paid but if you're unfortunate enough to take a contested mark and take another 10 seconds to get to your feet you're penalised?

Ok.

What happens if a player is concussed and doesn't get up in time?
Is play on going to be called from now on?

 

[Ramify]

where was this thread in the troy pannell game

I think there was one.
But it is nice to see the bastard little brother copping it lube free for a change.

 

[Hoops]

If we reverse the situation in this game, its geelong behind and instead of gray in a one on one, its selwood or dangerfield.

Does anyone honestly believe that in that same situation it would have been a ball up?

Does anyone honestly believe that if they didnt get a free Bigfooty would go into meltdown.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

You're not getting anywhere with that tonight champ. Captain Courageous was up to his usual best tonight, and his brother decided that throwing a Port player into the fence was a friendly gesture.

Almost broke his neck that did, who would even attempt that?

Oh, good bloke hodgey would.

 

[YOTC]

Maybe the fact that he goes to ground like a sack of dirt whenever he isn't going to mark it is something the umpires have noticed. Stevie J has the same issue, doesn't get anything but the clearest frees.

He spent the entire last quarter dropping to the ground. Keeping his feet would help him out a lot more.

 

[SuperSub17]

So you can be smashed front on if you're not facing the ball and its play on?

If the player is making a genuine, legal attempt at contesting the ball, then yes.

It's a contact sport.
