Can we get these 50’s back now?

Surely we have the right to ask why the Umpire on the spot was overruled by someone upstairs? He clearly referred to the ear piece to ask. He even said 50 metre penaltie.

He was not over ruled by someone upstairs

He was over ruled by Matt Stevic

This frustrated me too as it went against us.

But they do, do this. With out on the full calls, even collaborating with boundary umpires. What I didn't like was the inconsistency of the decision. Didn't hear the whistle, where was that for Bolton last week?

Callum Mills on @FOXFOOTY: ‘Ramps said it’s going to be 50 and I started going ‘oh no’ - but the reality is it was nice that it wasn’t a 50’

60 free kicks tonight. 
This is the problem.  Stevic is a blatant cheat

Dusty too
We’ve had a few this season.

Rounds 1-10:  "We're going to be strict" .... "no excuses, you know the rules"

Round 11: "Using some commonsense he didn't know so it's not 50"


As usual there's no consistency. Just making it up as they go

[one-eyed]

For the record, something like that shouldn't be 50 but I didn't write and introduce these stupid new rules and claim they were to be strictly applied no matter what. Either you apply these stupid rules consistently or scrap them.

What should have been paid was a HTB free against McCartin for going to ground on the ball 15m out from our goal. He made no attempt to release it yet no free. Gutless ump!

Worst call of the night was that "prohibitive contact" BS call against Dan Rioli. That lead to a Swans goal. What a joke that was!

Reid's free in the first quarter was soft as but technically there was a millisecond 'tug' of the back of Reid's jumper. Daisy Pearce though thought there was "nothing in the free kick". Brayshaw exclaimed "sheesh!" so he didn't there was anything in it either.

The Rioli "prohibitive contact" is even worse on replay. That happens 100 times in every game.

No wonder crowds are down with this rubbish umpiring  .

The Baker non in the back in the last minutes before it went out of bounds. 

[Tiger Khosh]

Umpires suck but I actually think we got a reasonable run at it this week. A lot of free kicks that we wouldn’t get most weeks.

Yet when Prestia should be awarded a 50...

...nah use ya common sense there.

[one-eyed]

You get a 50m penalty now for shaking your head at an umpire... but booting it out of the ground after a few kick is played needs to have 'common sense' applied #AFLSwansTigers

The Brad Scott legacy is almost complete.

"A controversial 50-metre penalty late in the contest gave the Demons the sniff they needed, when Brad Close – on centre wing – punched the ball into the empty stands while it was already out of bounds. The entry inside-50 from Jake Lever resulted in Gawn marking straight in front."
