Clear as day AFL has instructed ch 7 to say nithing bad towards the umpire. If this was ch 10 as much as he was a dick quarterbrain would be going mental..actually no he is a hawthorn man.

It's why I think Eddie is the best play-by-play guy in the game - as long as he's not commentating the Pies. Calls it how it is and doesn't give a stuff about repercussions.
 
Dumping somebody over the fence has been against the rules for years.

I must have missed the part where the player was dumped over the fence? :confused: The player was tackled over the line and the umpire then paid "holding the man" because he grabbed the scruff of his collar and pushed him down. Definitely not a free kick.
 
What's to stop people dumping players into the fence once it crosses the boundary with a rule like that though?

but he didnt

awful decision by any measure - what exactly did the umpire think he saw? its not a question of intepretation here, whether a tackle slipped over a shoulder/neck etc.

Did he geuninely think he saw an act of overt aggression that wans't.

Staggeringly poor if not fanciful call.

Guerra the dirty p**** knocks Chapman out with an elbow. Has to go.
What is worse is the commentators are actually trying to say incidental contact, you would think the stupid b------- would have learnt from the their handling of the Judd incident,head sacrosanct got on right on the point of the chin gone for weeks.
 
Need a free? Headbutt the opposition in the groin!

These umpires

Biggest blight in AFL is players using head as bait and getting richly rewarded for it over and over. Hawthorn are masters of it.
