NON-MFC: Round 11, 2022

[Sir Why You Little 37,324]

Never in doubt. 
Picked the Swannettes 

They were awful in the Second Q!!

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Warner kicked it away into the crowd after prestia had a shot to take. I struggle to see any other call than a 50m penalty 

[layzie 34,365]

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

[Kit Walker 225]

Players need to practice the torp more...

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!

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. 

[Alex Flood 245]

BT not showing his Richmond bias there at all lol

[picket fence 18,011]

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.

[Demon Dynasty 17,135]

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

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,792]

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

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,300]

Off to the Richmond bigfooty forum for a laugh and a sook.

[Chook 15,023]

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

[Trisul 674]

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.

[dazzledavey36 55,948]

Suck [censored] Riewoldt and Cochin 🖕🖕

[DubDee 26,361]

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

hilarious incompetence!

[monoccular 17,676]

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.

Sums up where the game is at 

[rjay 25,311]

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.

[Return to Glory 8,473]

Gold. Absolute gold.

Crywoldt and co off their chops

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.
