"Marshall was on the field for nearly 30 seconds before he was called off the field.

Foxfooty.com.au reported that the AFL interchange steward had noticed the extra player running onto the field but didn’t advise the umpires because they believed the player didn’t impact the contest.

This is despite the ruckman winning a hit out at a boundary throw-in after running on."

now this wouldnt have changed the game but the umpires literally ignored it...

wtf

 

[Ron The Bear]

For a sport micro-managed to within an inch of its life, Gil is running a shitshow.

 

[Fluro Boots]

is it still up to the captain to call for a head count?

 

[DapperDon]

Obviously Hocking's fault for stopping Richmond from winning all of the premierships

 

[Ron The Bear]

Different outcome to this one.

AFL admits fault over Edwards interchange infraction

 

[HairyO]

I thought it was an auto free kick?

So if you have 19 players and the 19th player doesnt go near the ball - but instead just fills space to get the ball kicked elsewhere that is okay ?

Can you throw the whole interchange on to fill even MORE spaces ???

I truly believe the AFL is corrupt

there is no other reasonable explanation for scenarios like this

They have obviously tried to sweep this one under the rug instead of admitting there was a mistake.

Note that nobody has been game to put their name to the news.com.au article.

Could this be why the General Manager of Football has left his post mid-season?

I'd like my club to receive compensation in the form of Gil's head on a stick.

 

[Wojcinski]

They have a guy making sure players don't step over the line in the one meter section they're allowed to cross, yet a guy runs onto the field for a full 30 seconds, is involved in the play and then comes back off and they turn a blind eye?

pretty sure they removed that part because it was an archaic product of rules written in the 1800s

The AFL cant even fine St Kilda because the AFL would end up having to pay it.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

With the way we played that night we would've got the free kick and turned it straight over anyway.

 

[Plugger35]

Richmond might have been able to score 3 goals if it wasn't for that extra player.

 

[nick1408]

We've been whinging for a while that we aren't getting the free kicks we deserve but this takes the cake

cmon plugger you hate the umpires, id have thought youd be all over this

 

[Kipz]

I hadn't noticed until you just pointed this out, thankyou

 

[Fluro Boots]

Leave the game alone!

 

[Substance]

If it was the tigers you'd be alleging deliberate match fixing or umpire favouritism.

 

[k2kshard]

Definitely part of the anti-Richmond conspiracy from AFL House

 

[Jobe Watson]

Cheaters.

This is what I can’t wrap my head around. They seem so diligent and strict on the most minor details, yet…

Yes, otherwise you might have discovered the global lizard man conspiracy targeting a football club in Melbourne.

 

[RAPPA]

Not sure what the big deal is. Bulldogs have 21 players on the field at all times during their games.

Yeah Steve Hocking. He only gave them dream fixtures with consecutive home game runs during their flag years. And aside from putting Geelong in Tigers heartland for our home finals, he allowed a corrupt ticketing system in where Richmond fans pooled online and bought Geelong tickets to imbalance the crowd.

I can see why they can't stand him
