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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
