Boundary throw-in balls-up

Featured Replies

Posted

If the ball goes outside the circle at a centre bounce, the umpires call it back and throw it up again so one side isn't advantaged. 

Why not the same for boundary throw-ins? 

That half-arsed throw-in yesterday cost us a goal. It should have been called back. 

What if it had happened late in the game of a tight final?

You are talking common sense and the AFL, Grape. That is an oxymoron.

i have seen them call it back for a re-throw, can only assume in this case it didn't reach the (umpire's) threshold whatever that is

i thought it should have been recalled, but then i would

 

yes I saw that.

No where near the rucks but straight into the arms of a  Saints rover for a goal.

There was also a mark by Riewoldt at least 1 metre over the boundary as well an another paid to the saints.

These maggots are constantly messing up my enjoyment of the game.

Also a half volley to Roo called a mark,then tackled then paid 50 as the player tackling thought rightfully that it was a play on.(in 1st Quarter)

Also they made a point of f*&king Jack Watts all day .

They need bashing.

I've seen haymakers thrown that went further than that throw in. They would've been too embarrassed to bring it back after a goal.

And that ump who paid the half volley mark to Roo should take up the free test offer by OPSM.


I think the rule should be that no player can take possession of the ball from a boundary throw-in. This stops dreadful throw-ins from resulting in clean possessions.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
