I think the best way to evaluate the non-50 decision is like this

Given the umps paid no 50 - The AFL will back the umpires for using common sense...

If the umps had paid 50 - The AFL would have backed the umpires for paying the correct decision 

Clear? ...

You're welcome 😊

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

I think DD was JK 🙂

The umpire did an Engadine Macca's just then.

"If they are consistent, he gets a week at least". ... so he will get off then.

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 😂

Not so sure ... there was a free against Tigers earlier in the game when they dissented about a non decision, as I recall

Franklin punch will be interesting. If it was say a Melbourne CHF like TMAC or the weed then they would get 3 weeks minimum but because it is Buddy nothing may happen. If we lose to freo he may get a week but if we beat freo he will play for sure. That is how disgusting the AFL can be.

It’s ok - tomorrow morning Auskickers can smack a 9 year old twice in the head

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

Clock stops when umpire signals time on

Ho, Ho, ho, how consistency and AFL align!??? Nar not even remotely close!  as the Robot in lost in space would say... "It does not Compute"

But Coz its Buddy...... Nar Nothing to see here, gets of and plays next week. BANK ON IT!

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.

Prestia for a goal was good money too tonight, wish I had it!

That should have been a 50 metre penalty every day of the week.

Ha the Richmond fans are ringing up SEN complaining that if it was any other team that would have been paid 50 but because it was Richmond it wasn't paid

Decent game

Makes the 8 interesting especially if the Pies beat Carlton

By not punishing the act but rather the outcome the AFL / MRO have made it clear that punching and striking is fine so long as you don’t hurt anyone too badly when doing so.

The match was live.

The match was over...the only action you can take after the siren is your kick if it was awarded before the siren.

Honestly I don't know if this is fact but pretty sure we will find out over the next few days.

There was a reason the ump was on the mic to someone upstairs. My guess is to confirm the timing.

Once confirmed, it was game over...go back & have your kick.

Well actually no.

The 50 is given for time wasting, running off the mark, dissent or a further infringement against the team with the free kick.

None of those existed.

There is no time wasting, as the siren went and he gets his kick no matter. If it happened in the game yes of course, but no time was wasted.

As the umpire said it was a commonsense decision.

Also, to get the look on Reiwoldt's face it was absolutely the correct decision.

You know the umps are sticklers for rules. If someone marked 40m out and the siren went and an oppo player kicked the ball away, you honestly think they would pay a 50?

Make up your own mind. Was kicking the ball into the stands classed as an unsportsmanlike manner?

 FIFTY METRE PENALTY
19.1 SPIRIT AND INTENTION
After a Mark or Free Kick has been awarded to a Player, a Fifty Metre Penalty will be awarded against the opposing Team which delays or impedes the play, or behaves in an unsportsmanlike manner

couldn't disagree more

As Damien Hardwick just said, we were 30 points up & shouldn't have lost the game

If the player on the mark steps forward over the mark a 50 would be paid even if the siren had gone before the kick.  No?

Look at the discipline of our interchange  boys when T Mac took his after siren kick in the GF - did not celebrate on ground unti “all clear” was given. 
Under the old rule, 10 years ago, Footscray could have been awarded the Premiership for a violation there

No... and after the siren there is no time to be wasted.   Nothing to see here

I mean forget mean happened. Theres 6 seconds left at that throw in, I'd be surprised if the Swans players didn't know this. Did they really have to hold? I think the free kick was dicey but why even put doubt in the umpires mind?

I also love it how we're so mortified that someone boots a ball into the stands and pay 50s for it because they can't get it back to the player quickly yet if someone boots a behind into the stands we have ball boys like lightening throwing another ball to the kick in guy to keep play going :p
