only about 19 steps without bouncing the ball..but I am glad they didn't call it as its a goal of the year contender
Stopped and propped, never got close to top speed and changed direction. Did he travel 15 metres? Cant tell from that vision.

Yep, there are 1 million other sports to follow, even different footy leagues, but no, they would rather follow the corrupt, Vic bias AFL.I have notice page after page of fans complaining about the rules, yet they dont know them.
It is the distance travelled, not the steps taken.
20 Cliff Young shuffles, would not be as far as 10 Buddy strides.
Rankin was getting chased hard, his legs and mind were both running flat out.
He didn't get called for 15mt, or 18, or even 20. It was way too far.
It was unfortunate, it was a shame and there is every chance that Collingwood would have defended the ball anyway, as they tend to do.
It is just sad that people would rather hunt for something to complain about, then appreciated a great game, which had real star factor.
A free kick gets missed, lets complain.
A blatant free gets paid, lets complain.
There are no more sookier fans than AFL fans.
Hence why the gameday threads are unreadable anymore.
They can never tell.Stopped and propped, never got close to top speed and changed direction. Did he travel 15 metres? Cant tell from that vision.
They can never tell.
They guess.
That's why it's so putrid to suddenly decided to guess at such a critical time in a game.
As I e said before, if you never pay it, and only pay it when someone runs about 40m, over a period of years that becomes the defacto interpretation that everyone plays to.
So those claiming that the umpire was correct, whilst true to the letter of the law - it was not consistent with the interpretation over the past decade.
So in a critical contest, you suddenly decide to guess on the conservative side??!
Bizarre decision making.
As I previously pointed out, if a player walks the ball over the boundary line without making a genuine attempt to keep the ball in - it is a free kick for Insufficient Intent. That's the letter of the law.
But we all know that umpires do not pay this. It happens dozens of times each week, and it doesn't get paid. What we, and the players know, is that 40m kicks that roll over the boundary do get paid as Insufficient Intent. This has become the defacto rule because this has been a consistent interpretation of the rule for years now.
If an umpire suddenly paid a free kick for a guy walking the ball over the line, people would be shocked and outraged. The umpire would be correct to the letter of the law - but it would extraordinary to suddenly pay it when it hasn't been interpreted that way for so long.
If 25m can't be called late in a game because it is "marginal", where do we make the threshold? 35m? 40m?They can never tell.

You’re right, they guess, and they tend to give leeway in these types of calls, ie. they won’t call it unless it’s blatantly too far and obvious for everyone to see. Rankine ran 60% further than the rules allow before he was penalised. This is not a marginal call, it was blatantly too far, and only blind idiots would complain about an entirely fair and justified free kick being paid for this.They can never tell.

I don't think it being 60% further than what the rule book says is relevant.You’re right, they guess, and they tend to give leeway in these types of calls, ie. they won’t call it unless it’s blatantly too far and obvious for everyone to see.

Harley Reid ran way further than 15m in his much lauded 'don't argue spree' from the weekend that is being replayed everywhere.Where are these other examples of players running 30metres without it being called? Please, present your evidence.
Eventually if you keep putting forth silly notion sI don't think it being 60% further than what the rule book says is relevant.
What is relevant, is how far he ran compared to how umpires have adjudicated the rule for the past dedecade.
“Breaking the rules isn’t relevant” of course it’s relevant you pillock.I don't think it being 60% further than what the rule book says is relevant.

Has that been confirmed, or are you just counting steps and not accounting for him propping and changing direction which result in much smaller strides?Harley Reid ran way further than 15m in his much lauded 'don't argue spree' from the weekend that is being replayed everywhere.
No one has even remotely suggested that he should have been pinged for Too Far.
That's because umpires have not interpreted the rule as literally 15m in decades.
Ever noticed how the AFL come out and talk about 'cracking down' on certain things?“Breaking the rules isn’t relevant” of course it’s relevant you pillock.
Confirmed??Has that been confirmed, or are you just counting steps and not accounting for him propping and changing direction which result in much smaller strides?
I’m wagering the latter.
You don't even understand what the argument is about, you pillock. You want to make it a different argument, that just so happens to favour the result for Collingwood.“Breaking the rules isn’t relevant” of course it’s relevant you pillock.

Amazing that people are blaming the umpire for making the correct decision.
Maybe instead they should point the finger at Rankin for the error.
He could have fairly easily bounced the ball another time and there would have been no decision to be made. Heck, he bounced the ball once at around 7 strides and decided to run at least double that again before he kicked…
But that doesn’t suit the umpire bashing/blaming narrative that seems to permeate the AFL world.
Much more strictly than usual? Spare me, the last guy who tried to find examples of players running 24m+ without bouncing the ball and not being penalised had to go back over a freaking decade to show one. I’ve had Adelaide supporters coming at me for days saying Noble did it, and then Daicos did it in the same game and they’ve been proven wrong every single time. There was one example from the Brisbane game that almost went as far as Rankine, which really should have been called too, but was still a couple of meters shorter.You don't even understand what the argument is about, you pillock. You want to make it a different argument, that just so happens to favour the result for Collingwood.
The argument, that you lot seem so determined not to understand, is not how far Rankine ran (i.e. whether the rule was broken or not), but how the umpire decided to enforce the rule much more strictly than is usual, at such a crucial stage.
You seem to want to die in the ditch on this, but just because Lavendar Bushranger seems to be last one still standing trying to get into your thick numbskulls what the issue is, doesn't mean you are persuasive.
And don't start saying blind freddy could tell he ran too far. That's a lie. As many pundits have commented, it was surprising the whistle went. Maybe not surprising to Collingwood supporters though - hard to judge distance with only one eye
Wonderful, hello burner account, this is one I’ve already disproven with basic maths. Let’s break it down:Johnny Noble's goal was wonderful.
Loved how he received the ball about 8-10 metees inside the centre square, ran and kicked.frpm about 4-6 metres inside 50. ... ... 8-10 + 10 + 4-6 = 22-26 metres. .. zero bounces.
Delicious. .
Port were 7pts up when the Cameron goal was disallowed, so if it was allowed Cats were still 1pt down.Lol, maybe you should read the question you ask.
Wonderful, hello burner account, this is one I’ve already disproven with basic maths. Let’s break it down:
Noble receives the handball and proceeds to take 10 steps before kicking. At an average of 1.5-1.7m per stride you’re looking at 15-17m distance. Right on the edge of what’s legal, pretty tough to eyeball though. To doubly confirm this, the distance of the mowed lines is 9m. Noble receives the ball about 1-2m from the edge of the line he’s in. He then runs across a full line and kicks around 3-4m inside the next line. That comes once again to roughly 15m.
Electric Noble dash delivers magic milestone moment
John Noble pins back the ears and drills home an inspiring major in his 100th gamewww.afl.com.au
Keep em coming chumps, I can do this all day.
You sound like a really fun guy.
I'm a Collimgwood supporting human BTW
I'll take.ypur word.for it, regardless your maths.
I'm fairly.sure it 10m from square to 50 though.
I was only being facetious. To my naked eye, it looked well over 15 metres.
I think you do agree somewhere in your brutal take down of yours truly, it was over 15 metres and thus, however marginally, technically a gree kick.
I hoped.to bait some Crows fans, irony and stuff.
I've hooked something entirely.differnt
