The umpiring error that cost us our season

[austyn08]

Let it go.

There is a time and a place for this and a time to make someone accountable. I’m on the latter.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

The so called technology they use is embarrassing just can the shit
And go by the umpires call

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Brisbane spud just doesn't reply to the person that proved them wrong

If it hits the post and bounces back in play - play on!

Not thought through.

So if the kick misses the goal area by a foot you get 1 point, but if you are closer ie. a better kick but you miss the goal area by 2 inches and it goes back into play you get nothing.

Superior attempt at goal but less score.

What about Preliminary Final night 1996 and Lockett has a kick after the siren. Scores are level and all that’s required to send the Swans into the GF is a point. So if he misses by a few feet they win the game but if he is more accurate and hits the goal post and it bounces back into play it’s a draw.

Doesn’t seem fair.

You could argue that if it bounces back in to play from the behind post it could be play on. Obviously that is the case in soccer and other sports but in those sports the post is the outer area of scoring. In Australian Rules the goal posts are not outer area of scoring.

hope bears or swanettes win the flag

Just dropped in to let you all know that I've heard from a very reliable source that after Dimma's tour de force of the ARC system that the AFL is now strongly favouring overturning of the result. Richmond will fact be playing Geelong this Friday at the MCG.


So no need for that class action now guys. Congrats!!!

Mouth breathing plonker. Having said that, do the afl world a favour and please beat Geelong this week!

I'd like to think there is a bit of a rivalry developing between the two clubs. On our side at least. With the firepower being added to your lot next season I reckon results are going to continue to be interesting.

At the moment we only have one rival and that is the AFL administration itself.

 

[tigs2010]

There should be a class action against these cronies it’s total bullshit club and fans have been lied to by the afl about having definitive vision that clearly states it’s a behind now they don’t have it as far as I’m concerned I will never attend another afl game this was the most corrupted game I have ever seen

You’ll be there when we win the flag next year.

Don’t want to be mucking around fighting for footballs around posts. Hits a post stop play.

I guess all we can do is keep beating you in finals and one day you might take us seriously.

Anyhow, toolaroo, see you all next season.

 

[TigFan1966]

I think we're forgetting that Connally was sitting lower than JFK so the so called magic bullet actually travelled in a straight line, just like Lynch's kick, that went up behind the goals appearing over the goal post, not on top of but directly behind it from the front on views.

Be better.

 

[terrybull]

If the technology is not definitive then that's what should happen, go with the umpires call.

Yeah… but that is real commen sense, not the AFL version of common sense.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

So the mother*ers ******* lied about having extra vision this seriously needs to be taken to court the afl said they had extra vision now they say they don’t an afl team has to stand up to these cronies and set an example that this s**t and cloak and dagger is not to be tolerated for the club and fans

THIS!!!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Hi!

Such a power(ful) stance of a reply...well done!

 

[smasha]

Nearly two weeks in.

Still no apology from the AFL.

We would have smashed this finals series if common sense prevailed.

 

[GastevsBeard]

My sources tell me when Dimma visited the ARC, Brad Scott acknowledged that they completely f**ked up & pleaded with the club not to sue

Dimma then blackmailed the AFL -so we should be seeing Taranto & Hopper coming over to the Tigs for Castagna & a future 4th in trade week

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Any feedback from Dimma following his ARC visit?
Hoping Dimma has another swipe and the AFL boys club who haven’t fooled anyone. Just yesterday Mike Sheehan giving the decision a big whack on radio

This still makes me as angry now as it did on the night.
We were robbed, we would have given this an almighty shake.

 

[All Aust]

"we have extra unseen definitive vision"

Hell if that's the case we want Lachie Neale and Clayton Oliver as well, it's only fair.

 

[TigFan1966]

Any feedback from Dimma following his ARC visit?

From what was reported, he found they didn't have any extra footage only what we saw on TV.
