BT has completely lost the plot. Free kick was soft anyway, 50 would have been controversial after the siren went but it probably should have been paid. Correct call I though though.

    Suck on a fat one Tigers!!! That was 100% a 50. Would be paid at any other point in the game. Massive choke from the umps

    I get that, and agree it's frustrating. I just get sick of umpiring being the only topic.

    This is actually a bloody good game between two flawed sides!

    It was a bloody good game, but with that ending, suspect most talk will be about umpiring.

     

    Personally, not knowing rules, I think that should have been a 50!

    You'd think so. But tricky situation.

    OMG - what a match   Nearly threw it in at half time 

    Lots of Richmond dissent after the non 50. 

    Same! Quite the snore-fest up ‘til then. 
    What a bizarre finish though.

    Should have been a fifty to the Tiges after the swannies player roosted it into the stands! Shocking home town umpire Bias

    Late call on the free and crowd going nutz...you cant expect a player to know who the free kick was for as he picks it up in that situation.  Correct call umps

    Presumably not the umpire for G v M round 23 2021 - who firstly paid the absurd deliberate OOB, then the 50 for Lever to pass to Max.

    Buddy, McCernerny, McCartin, Heeney stood up and a few other solid role players ...their tails will be up next week & Buddy loves the G.  Should be a great game.  Hopefully theyre rooted and will be a bit off

    Love it. Suck on that Richmond. Was that a 50m if he kicked it into row Z after the siren? 

  • Quote

    lol ump refuses to pay a free because he reckons he knows what the player could and couldn't hear.

  • Quote

    Think back to that 50m we got in Geelong that was there and helped win us the game.  Definately should have been 50m and I was going for the Swans.

    When is ANY player ever given the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t hear the whistle??

    hilarious incompetence!

    What a bizarre explanation by the umpire - "not unreasonable that he didn't hear the whistle"- doesn't usually matter as far as I have noticed.

    I don't see how it could be a 50 if he kicked it over after the siren....

    Totally different...ours occurred during the game, not after the bell.

    Good thing there was no crowd in that game to give the ump the excuse that "he couldn't have heard." Can you imagine? Just the thought of Lever not being paid that 50 because of mewling cats fans being "too loud for the player to hear" gives me nightmares.

    Would have been about the umpiring regardless of what decision they made there!

    I reckon he heard the siren, not the whistle, and the reason that's normally a 50 is time wasting, which can't apply after the siren.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
