Were we actually robbed?

[czero]

We certainly have form when it comes to making the AFL create rule clarifications and changes!

 

[big_e]

No doubt the AFL will introduce something because of this. Another North initiative.

A red light or something by the bench that turns on and can be seen by all on the ground that no more changes can be made.

There is one.

A monitor that counts the interchanges, and changes colour when you get close, I think with 10 to go. The AFL interchange steward also verbally warns with 10, 5 and 1 to go.

The counter going to 76 is what alerted Dane Rampe, who can be seen on the bench footage jumping up off the Sydney bench.

That settles it then.

So, apparently Shiels or Phillips could have come back on! Eh, close enough. Don't worry about technicalities on that one!

The AFL are picking & choosing when they can make it up to save face! I think I'd somehow feel better if they admitted that they made a mistake and it had to be Phillips that came back on OR another free & 50 to the Swans. But we can't have that. "Close enough" is good enough when it suits them.

And please just ignore Dane Rampe stepping outside the interchange box.

 

[The acurate one]

My only concern is we've shown our hand, we're playing off for the Reid cup against the Eagle and find ourselves 7 goals up at three quarter time.

It may take us 91 interchanges to get the Eagle in front, now if we didn't do this yesterday I'd reckon we'd have gotten away with it later in the year.

Gills explanation to the media , " I spoke with North and the interchange clicker they had broke, so they had no way of knowing how many interchanges they'd had".

He's ability to deliver such news across the AFL during his tenure without laughing, is what has made him so successful.

 

[The acurate one]

And to the OP- robbed of what? I mean really a win against a battling Swan, means in the bigger scheme of things nothing.
What will get good folk talking about us around the watercooler is the likes of Wardlaw.

He changed the dynamic yesterday

It might need new batteries or something cause dont think it works.

So we were warned? So who got the sack at North for this fugg up that probably cost us the game?

Never made a mistake at work dude? Come on.

Not one this costly - no. Amateurs.

 

[Tectonic]

Putting aside that people don't lose their jobs over one-off errors, you know for sure all the variables in that situation could have been controlled?

As shiels approaches the sideline wincing you're sure the bench knew he wasn't considered an injury?

Pretty inconsiderate. Mistakes happen sometimes. You improve and move on.

Sack the incompetents who cost us a game. I'm over accepting second rate efforts. They have to be sacked today. Any other choice shows what a soft hugging club we have become. Make an example of the fool/s. Maybe even consider a public flagellation.

 

[franjon]

It has to be discussed and investigated. Do all interchanges up to that point that are a result of injury count to the 75? I.e George’s head knock etc.?

It was annoying at the time but we weren't actually robbed. Once again our use of the ball robbed us of what could have been a good win.

TBF Clarko usually kept track of it…..

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I’m OS at the moment, watched the game but haven’t read through the threads but surely everyone would keep a few interchanges free in case someone very late in the game gets injured.
Does every side finish the game with no more interchanges left? Group stupidity if they all do this

 

[bennymate]

Funnily enough it might've just got us Harley Reid.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Funnily enough it might've just got us Harley Reid.

Thinking the same, we trade with West Coast

 

[rickety]

Bloke goes into Arden St on Monday morning to provide data that there were only 73 interchanges made.
Nek minnut, AFL - no you don't.

Yes that should turn our fortunes around.

Or if the Swans didn't miss a bunch of sodas in the first half.

We f***ed up, pure and simple. Time to move on.

Yes fair enough however I really do think the ratio of free kicks that resulted in goals to swans v goals to us would reveal a one sided affair and the thing that really f ing annoys me is that most of these are 50/50 in contested situations, AFL is a contact sport, the default positions where players are 'infringing' upon each other in a contested ball situation should be to either play on or ball up. Awarding a free kick to the opposition forward inside 50mtr arc should only be for clear one sided deliberate infringements where there is no doubt otherwise the result of the game can be unfairly skewed. As I said in another post I did see Goldy speak to the main umpire right at half time and whatever he had to say definitely had an impact, the umpiring was far more consistent in the second half.

 

[Hojuman]

[czero]

We don't need to go last to get Harley, we just need west coast to go last, but second last might be helpful.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Just stop it, please. You don’t know what happened and even if it was a mistake the person who made it shouldn’t be made to feel worse. There shouldn’t be more repercussions any more than blaming an individual player for a costly error.

Ya reckon knee jerk reactions are good for the culture ay? That's neat

 

[SheezNuts]

Will Powell comes off for Tom Powell?

Okay then.
