So we had four players fined.

How many did Gold Coast get fined.

I did not see the picket punch. Was it there at all ?

Looks like I watch the best qtr of all being the 1st qtr.

The game we start a brawl in i don't get to see.

FML.

Kozzie's very lucky he can keep escaping suspensions with these low level strikes.

May did not and should not have copped a suspension. Not sure it warranted the melee.

And I especially loved that we were at out toughest during this useless melee which resulted in Ainsworth running 40 metred unattended into the easiest goal of his life. (Pathetic)

MATCH REVIEW: Fiorini and May in the clear, 22 charges laid

The match review findings from Saturday's round 16 games are in

5 players for us got fined (May, Salem, Viney, Oliver, Melksham) engaging in a melee/wrestle

6 Suns got a fine for engaging in a melee/wrestle (Noble, Walter, Anderson, Humphrey, Collings, Clohesy)

In addition to Ben King getting a fine for Instigator of a Melee/Wrestle.

Personally, reckon the fine for instigating a melee should be higher than engaging in a melee

Apparently a melee is an acceptable setting for the umpires to ignore the rules and not re-set him to take the ball back behind the mark.

Or to reverse the kick in the first place to give it to May for being smacked by 2 suns players

Loved the "Petty had poor technique"when he got concussed rubbish by the media

It's along the same vibe as "Brayshaw deviated his line into ftards shoulder" kinda logic.

What about Vineys sling tackle on whoever it was? Rowell?

I know it didnt even draw a free kick at the time but the TV commentary review panel were already giving him weeks.

After picking up the ball ahead of the mark, while defenders were being held and wrestling in a melee, not able to stop him and then not bouncing the ball once in that 40 metre run.

Wonderful officiating!

Literally no one pushes back on this

It’s disgusting

More than that. Am I right in thinking the umpire had already stopped the clock. Subsequently using 'play-on' to break up a melee may sound a plausible excuse, but I don't think it is good policy to give such an advantage to either side, and especially the one that start the melee. Just imagine if it was a close game and happened to C'wood.

I think you are correct, that the time on had been called and play was stopped.

I was unaware of the new rules that you can run with the ball as far as you like, without bouncing it, if you are running from a melee and that you don’t have to go behind your mark if a free is called and play is stopped, when time on has been called, while your team mates have knocked down a player not in the play and are wrestling the opposition to stop them defending.

We will say nothing most likely.

Are we sure the umpire did not award a 50 meter penalty for late contact after the mark was taken (even if momentarily)?

Yes we are sure, it was paid a free not a mark and no 50m penalty.

As Ainsworth ran past the umpire, he put his hands up and called play on and watched him run 40 metres into goal without bouncing the ball.

OK, so you're sure Ainsworth wasn't just being given the green light to proceed to the new mark (with 50 meters )to take his kick. Often players do that so as to register the score quickly and therefore avoid a reversal from any infringement in the melee.

No wonder we are a pushover. Soft cooks.

He was actually all alone and unattended.

At least 20 of the 40 were without a bounce! Where is an umpire who has the guts to adjudicate the most basic of rules?

How much did we get gined in total?

You and I know that will not happen. Pies are being umpired to the Grand Final. Watch the last 5 minutes of their games, you would be incredibly lucky to see a free paid against them.

If you use a g instead of an f.

Is it the same as using a b instead of a c.

What a silly bunt !

He bounced it as he ran past the umpire. The tv vision didn't show that. From where he bounced to where he kicked it could arguably been too far, but he definitely bounced it
