What was the 50m against Rioli for?



Reckon that decision actually fired the side up for a bit...... :shh

What was the 50m against dusty for? The commentators said he had to clear the zone,
. I assume that meant the goal square. What happened to common sense by the umpire? Why not call him back 1 yard. The players must be wondering what they were supposed to do, if they move they give away a 50. If they don't and they are in the wrong spot they give away a 50. Honestly I'm off to watch the soccer. Its umpiring is equally as bad but less bizarre.

Agree with this totally.

Did you hear Chris Scott call the dogs out the other day.

I have never heard of anything like that from anyone. We know why Benny didn't and that is because he wanted that top job.

Just a slight correction

He is a senior advisor across all facets of the Club.

Yes he has taken a special interest in our women's program but to suggest that’s all his role is now is wrong

Since Balme gave the umpires a spray when they do their club tours, before the season starts about 5 years ago we have been in the bad books.

Rankine .... 24.2m (17 steps) = ran too far.
Sharp ....... 22.3m (17 steps) = play on.

The MRO round up. Hipwood surely likely to be suspended for his dump tackle with both of Vlastuin’s arms pinned.

Yet the ump paid HTB  ::).

Walker did the same thing to Dustin years ago and was reported. What is just as disgraceful was Hipwood struck Vlastuin and Vlastuin strikes back and the free goes against Vlastuin.  The umpire was either incredibly stupid or just plain biased

Someone needs to step up and call the situation out. I am sick of this club being week. Honestly, how 4 umpires missed that sling tackle was a joke. And I have to wonder why the AFL itself hasn't looked into these blatant discrepancies themselves. How can they not know...
