They can stop play at any time and resume with a ball up.

They blew their whistles and stopped play in the 2020 GF when there was pitch invaders, and it was the right thing to do then as well.

That’s a very good point. They should have stopped play and then when it resumed our free and 50 penalty, meaning we’d be 50-60m out from our goal. Instead play continues and they score a goal and we lose our best midfielder and Stewart goes on to be the most influential player on the ground.
The whole thing stinks. But it’s ticked off by the AFL much like the Sydney after the siren umpire call.

According to the '@hasumpstuffedup' Twitter account, umpires are not meant to pay 50m penalties for off the ball hits in general play. The procedure would be to either take the free kick where the incident happens, or if the ball is further up the field for the attacking team, the free kick is taken where the ball is, hence why Graham received the free kick.
First time I've heard of the "no 50m for high contact in general play" though. I guess the argument from the umpires will be that the holding by Selwood on Graham isn't a 50m incident considering the high contact on Prestia came first?
All quite confusing tbh.

i want to know why the RFC does not go to the AFL and ask for a please explain , not just for the cats game but for all games this year
and if they don't get a satisfactory answer then get an independent inquiry and threaten legal action
This shit has to stop

Because the AFL is willing to enforce their dominance.
Last year / Early this year Eddie said something interesting. He supported the Tigers taking on the AFL. He said that the RFC is one of the few clubs able to go head to head with the AFL. Most clubs can't do that as the AFL holds the purse strings and will retaliate. Think about that. The AFL HQ is happy to punish the clubs if they stand up for themselves. So therefore, the AFL can live in whatever dreamland they want, because they are willing to enforce that dream world.
Under the current leadership the AFL will not learn, they will punish and enforce their reality. So for us to do something like going to court could well lead to the AFL trying to break the club.
What we need is a change at the top. Gil is going. The AFL's heavies want Frydenberg, because he would be an insider for them (I presume).
If Benny gets the gig then probably the clubs will get the whip hand again. That is when things might change. Right now it isn't being run for the clubs or the fans - or players or umpires. It's being run for the boys club.

Well the rule has changedBeen listening to SEN and Kane Cornes has a petition to get rid of the protected area below is the link:
Yep exactly
swept under carpet that's why I don't always buy afl is to blame , umpires can't even make a common sense decision at times no accountability there protected.

Yeah that is quite confusing.
I sort of look at this way
If a player takes a mark and an opposition player illegally crashes into him at the same time it’s a free but no 50. If however the action is after the mark is taken it’s 50.
It should be the same when a player is taken out. ie if he’s taken out illegally with ball in hand it’s just a free kick . If the ball has passed play and he’s taken out then it should be 50.
I think the point I’m trying to make is that if the player doesn’t have the ball and is subject of an illegal bump it should be 50.

Cats get a freebie goal from king hitting a player,a goal that puts em in joint flag favourtism and a top 4 spot while we have to do it the hard way,all because of a dog snipin’ mongrel.
Went out of his way metres from the ball to line up our best mid.
Corruption at play from your CFL.
That's the second 50m penalty we've missed out on where the umpires have directly influenced the result of a game.

The answer is obviously yes and whoever disagrees is part of the corruption. Come at me.

yes,
The AFL is totally trying to sabotage the club with the biggest fanbase that generates the most revenue for them.
If they wanted to **** over anyone, it would be a minnow club that gives them little, not a big club.

It wasn't and shouldn't have been a 50 metre penalty as there hadn't been a free kick yet. The reportable contact was the free kick... which was paid downfield... in this case about 5 metres. They then had an opportunity to check on Prestia as they had blown time on... which they didn't... then proceeded to let play continue while Prestia was in lala land.
Why didn't someone actually come in and remonstrate? Townsend would have spent the rest of the match attempting to get payback.

We broke the afl hearts when we annilated gws in the grand final
The afl have had it in for us ever since
The argument against this point is equalisation. They want all clubs turning a healthy profit not a few big boys holding too much power. They want minnows being more successful to grow their supporter base long term, in turn generating them more revenue sources. No one jumps on a sinking ship.
There's no way 3 premierships was in the script for us. Has made us a behemoth and a big target.
