clipped the padding

so harsh

Adelaide's season has been a story of being so close to victory so many times. Millimetres from victory.

Swans kicked only 1 behind. Adelaide kicked 4-8 in that final term.

As I was always told look at the goal umpire for the decision. Keys and 3 others were celebrating and Sydney took it out easily.

Lets hope that bandage on papleys thigh keeps him out next week

geelong officially finished...    it is a good day

2 weeks in a row, AFL nothing to see here.....

What happened to Papley?

The swans aren't fit. They couldn't get the ball in the last and Adelaide were running on top of the ground. 

Its an absolute 5 hit show from the AFL.

Hang on a second, that ball went over the padding???

Thats why the goal umpire should only say goal or point  - please check if it was touched.

So [censored] at the crows, they had that, they suddenly could kick a goal, then not focussed no that last point. They ruined my tipping :) 

So only nine teams in it now.

another contentious goal umpire call at the death. couldn't tell from the vision but the goal ump did seem very sure though.

Yep but they should’ve just called it a goal

It is very important for the AFL to have Sydney in the finals.

Surely Papley can’t play next week?

Looked like it. Crows very stiff.  Sounds harsh but four guys celebrating while the Swans were taking kick out could have made a huge difference.

The footage shows the ball nowhere near the padding.

Thats a clear mistake.

That was well above the padding.

The ball went way over the padding.

Missed the padding 

It's not as as if like Adelaide or wanted then to play finals, but the umpires in the last 5 minutes of that Swans-Adelaide game had a clear preference.

Tom Papley sore is of interest for us.

Personally I hope half the Swans' list is out with dysentery for next week. I'm now officially sick of them.

 

Fox Footy doing everything not to say it was an absolutely terrible mistake.

We can see it!

Not in a million years did that hit the padding. And could well have cost the Crows a final spot.
