Free kick was soft, the seconds tick down, the noise so loud, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Swans player didn't hear it before kicking into the stands. 

Technically a 50 but perhaps par for the course.

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.

Yes. Is that the difference?

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.

Technically the ump should have reversed the free for dissent 😅

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.

And the Stand rule relies completely on hearing the umpire

was a 50 every day of the week

hilarious!

I get the common sense thing because the swans player probably wouldn't have known it was a free, but it should have been a 50. Would have been paid at any other time. I mean you just have to be aware of what is happening. On another note someones just scored a free footy in the crowd. 

The swans did do some stupid thigs tonight being a bit undisciplined. 

Interesting to hear dimma in the presser.

Yes because once the siren goes the ball/time clock is dead.  Kicking the ball away is considered a free for time wasting.  Kicking the ball away after the siren?  Not time wasting .... no free kick (or in this case a 50).

I'm pretty sure that the ump was checking online for the time line...

The Tiges cost themselves the game anyway, should have put it away.

On the other hand Richmond fans are seething right now and that makes me laugh.

That’s not the point. Viney was suspended because of the action and how it looked. The AFL want to protect the integrity of the game. Franklin threw a punch. If they are consistent, he gets a week at least

Footy has to the most weirdly officiated game in the world 

the umpires factor in what players may or may not hear to their decisions. Madness

It should have been a fifty but it probably makes up for all the stupid umpiring decisions the tigers got through the night, I did not see anything from those 2 sides that would worry me.

The clock stops when the ball goes out of bounce, and a 50 can be paid. The siren sounding is irrelevant.

Yes they might have confused those in yellow and black as an umpire committing the dissent!

So if a Sydney player had entered the protected area when that final kick was being taken, no 50?  Misread that.  Disagree though

Dissent only exists when a free is paid against you in the AFLs eyes

Brad Scott should be worried about his mid season performance review 😂

I tell you who’s about to get robbed after that. Me and everyone else that needs Prestia for 25+ possessions in a multi, they still haven’t added his kick after the siren onto his stats.
