NON-MFC: Round 04

I just watched the Freo dissent decision and I’d like to know what dissent is regarded as now?

 Because if dissent is questioning the umpires decision, that happens in every single quarter of every match I’ve seen this year multiple times.

Players on the mark constantly dispute decisions… why no dissent? If the umpire calls a mark and the opposition player on the mark says ‘X player touched it’ or ‘that ball was out of bounds’’ for example, that is dissent. Why was Freo called for it when it gets overlooked constantly in all of these other times?

Have you seen the behind the goals vision BoBo? 
Clark must’ve given the ump an almighty spray after Cottrell kicked the goal because you can see his teammate in Walker waving his arms telling him to stop.

Agree here. The AFL boss said they are considering the two incidents on the basis of first the touched mark incident and the dissent incident, with the dissent result still being reviewed, and they agree that the touched was wrong.

Problem is that the second incident would not have happened if the adjudication was correct in the first place allowing the game obviously to a win for Fremantle..

Yes he did. According to other media reports, it was quite vicious.

So the AFL have admitted that the Carlton goal was the WRONG decision. 
 

GET SOME DECENT 4k Cameras fitted at every game ya Cheap Bastards. 
 

All Clubs should go on strike until this is completely sorted out

It makes a mockery of the whole Competition 

how I despise the useless overpaid suits who run the AFL

Like most of Carlton's players they play a very doubtful, shifty and sooky type of borderline take any advantage, if you can get away with it.

No field umpire would have called touched even when vision showed that the ball grazed a hairfollicle of the docker player. No umpire would have noticed that.

Pretty loud follicle if six players heard it at the same time.

Another thing is that this seems to be a feature of Carlton. Change to frenzy, make sure it's in the forward line and you are bound to be given a charity  by brown p/b maggots. Dare i say five times out of last ten games

Maybe the AFL can you use this fan’s phone for reviews. Pretty clear the ball deflects when you slow it down, maybe harder during real speed.

The AFL should all be sacked over this. But of course they will all survive. 
They had 6 months to fully sort this out after the Adelaide debacle, and have done Sweet F$&@ all. 
The Arc is pathetic. They spend time reviewing shots that are clearly fine, but refuse to make serious calls because the Cameras are total garbage 

we the Fans and the Clubs must demand that the AFL fit 4k Cameras at every AFL VENUE 

Paid for by the AFL, not the Broadcaster 

Maybe the suits will have to take a Pay Cut

Tell Crypto.com to pay for it, since they love the advertisement during those ARC reviews. Btw, they should use spider cameras to have a bird's eye view of the action.

Spider Cameras can be one of many options available. There should be no hidden angle. 
I want to see the AFL spend some money on the game, and not themselves for a change

Probably not. But I was just watching the GWS/Sun game and they had a video review after the umpire didn't pay a ball touched but several oppo players made a fuss..  Why not do that in every such case and maybe introduce penalties if it is clear the player claiming to have touched it is lying?

it was determined as touched

If the umpire didn't hear so be it he only gives decisions on what they see or hear or do we now just say that if a player says he touched it it must be so.  Stop blaming umpires for everything it's a damm hard job,  players make more mistakes than umpires during the game yet all supporters can say it's the umpires fault we lost the game.

No game with officiating officials is not perfect.

i can't think of another 'professional' league where the 'officiating officials' are part-timers

how do you accordingly hold them to account? in the afl, they don't

You play with what given to you, being full time would not have helped with the players touching the ball around the ground. But I believe they should be full time.

playing well today. Once he adds some kgs he could be another Alir Alir. Need to go on a diet of potatoes, pasta and gravy.

Jack Lukosius today has provided the perfect textbook example of what 'disposal efficiency' is and is not.

The key is that a disposal is still counted as effective if it travels beyond a certain distance (I think 40m?) to a contest.

As I'm looking at the stats now, Lukosius has 22 disposals, going at 81% efficiency, for a total of 680 metres gained (!!) but also seven turnovers. So, with a third of his disposals being outright turnovers he's still got close to the best DE% on the field because he is banging it on average more than 30m forward every time he gets it!

Giants 4-0. Definitely a premiership threat. 
Stars.  Kelly. Green. Coniglio. Greene. Taylor. Whitfield.  
Very strong soldiers to support. Himmelberg. Brown. Buckley. Ash. Daniels. Idun.
Developing stars. Callaghan. Cadman. 
And two very exciting forwards in Hogan and Bedford.  
Orange tsunami a real danger.

Thought a high protein diet was the go to build muscle mass. Excess carbs could be converted to fats. My personal favourite stout and bananas. Beamish, Guinness and ladyfingers preferred.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
