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 😅

Maybe he didn't notice the 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
