Siren clearly went after the ball went out. I would be furious if that was us. 

I guess the question is that the siren went before the umpire called it deliberate. so does the decision have to be made pre siren or the infringement. 

I guess jimmy stynes, were he here, would have an opinion. ran over the mark AFTER the siren.

Feel bad for Jacko, don't think he realises what he's gotten himself into over there

I feel almost exactly the same without the feeling bad part.

Good seeing Jackson doing as well with Fremantle in the first two games as he did with us for most of 2022.

 If he didn’t, that’s on him. he had everything going for him at the Dees.

To see the dockets loose like that after 34 free kicks was magnificent

It was “paid” but deemed after siren which it wasn’t. 

Ah the injustice of it all.  Fremantle lose by a point courtesy of a dodgy umpiring non decision. Truly magnificent. 

[layzie 33,752]

Did it happen before or after? I wish I cared, I really do. But I don't at all. Good on the Roos!

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Don't feel bad. He got paid and is at home

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Time clock went to zero before ball went out. Fair result as siren was sounded well after.

Demonland right now

Good job we traded Jackson. He's been terrible first 2 games for Freo. Grundy a much better option to cover for Max while he's injured.

Hmm, interesting point.  Lots of controversy which will hopefully distract Freo and lead to more losses 😂

Code blue: We need 100 CCs of small violins delivered to Fremantle oval stat.

It's a shame there wasn't recent history of MFC talls heading to freo for the go-home factor only to struggle with sky-high expectations and cop grief from fans and the press over there.

[McQueen 17,864]

At this early stage, we have made off like Bandits!!

[Vipercrunch 2,826]

The umpire mics is interesting.  Siren and ball going out is simultaneous, and the umpires very, very quickly call its game over.  They have no doubt.

[deva5610 970]

Is Jackson a "unicorn" because like the single horn all he can do is manage a single mark a game or is it because like the animal his goal kicking skills are mythical?

I hope for his sake he improves before they really start piling on the pressure over here.

Is it when the whistle goes to signal the ball is out or when the ball is out?

Ahhhh, not watching with sound, playing vinyl instead. Much better. 
Thanks for the clarification.

[layzie 33,752]

Don't be mad Freo, it's not our fault you folded like paper planes.

[illbarto 379]

Let's ride

Delighted Freo got beat but having poor umpire decisions decide games is [censored] poor. 
I’ve come to the opinion that the AFL are happy with  a poor standard of umpiring and a joke of MRO as it creates headlines and interest during the week.

 
Wouldn’t  be too hard to improve the standard of umpiring by making them full time and well paid or make the rules easier to adjudicate.
