We might hear more of this if true.
The word from a couple of journos is Richmond allowed for the correct amount of time which included the half time break which is within the rules. The match day officials thought the time needed to be used up during game time and penalised us for Edwards going back on.

Lucky the result went our way.
-
if true it's disgraceful..
good thing we didn't lose by under 1 goal.....
also luckily swans kicked out on the full after that BS 50...and we ended up getting it back and kicking a goal not long after...so technically didn't cost us.

More to come.....

AFL to review Shane Edwards interchange infraction

RICHMOND is likely to be told the AFL’s interchange steward made a blunder when the league on Monday reviews the Shane Edwards interchange infraction.
In Friday night’s game at the SCG, Richmond was told Edwards was free to return from a 20-minute concussion assessment, only for the Tigers to be penalised when he did.
A shot at goal was taken away from Tyrone Vickery and Sydney’s Nick Smith was awarded a shot at goal, only to kick out of bounds on the full.
The AFL said on Sunday it was up to the interchange steward to time the 20 minutes for a concussion substitution.
Yet Richmond is adamant its interchange steward, Vickery’s father John, was told at least once Edwards could go back on.
Former Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell labelled the blunder “absolute garbage” on Sunday, saying the league couldn’t afford to make those mistakes.
Spokesman Patrick Keane said the AFL would review the incident in which Edwards jumped the gun by 1min 20sec.
“Perhaps the communication with Richmond was not good enough,’’ Keane said.
“When it was indicated he had passed a concussion test, it needed to be very clearly indicated he could go back on but still had a minute to wait.
“The issue we need to understand is how did Richmond get that message and why hadn’t the interchange steward stopped him by the time he got on to the ground.
“It is up to the interchange steward (to time it).
“He went back on early, but if the time hadn’t expired, Richmond needed to be clearly told that ... he shouldn’t have got out there.”

What a joke

So while they're at it they can also give an answer on whether Goodes gave away a free kick by pulling Grimes over the goal line away from the ball when Swans scored a goal in the first quarter.
The Edwards decision took away our shot at goal but did not give them a goal (only due to a poor kick).
When the Swans goal was awarded without a Goodes infringement I thought it was going to be a certainty we would lose by 5 points.
Add the Edwards one and it could have been another 12 points (Vickery goal, Smith miss)
Suppose it's just a minor thing for the umpires to affect the result by a possible 18 points.
-
Absolute fools. We had all the momentum and had we of lost that game we should have been awarded 4 points as compo. Lucky we won.. :lol
-
What a stuffen debacle , the RFC needs to be compensated for this , has cost us percentage. Maybe a draft pick after the first round, something, anything :banghead
-
We'll be lucky to get a public apology from anybody at AFL headquarters. :-\
Come on Campo apologise to your former employers. ;D
-
Simple answer to these infractions, review after the match and issue a fine if there has been an interchange error. If this costs any side a win, there would be hell to pay.
-
One day it will cost a team a game, ladder position or percentage, and influence finals or draft picks.
In the meantime, I'm as mad as hell and I've got the right to say it >:(
And isn't it funny that all these sorts of trivial matters always find a way of benefitting AFL pets like Sydney, and screw teams over like Richmond >:(
-
Absolute disgrace. Amateur hour at the AFL.....

They tried everything and we still got up, we earned that one.

AFL concedes error in Friday night infringement penalty

THE AFL has conceded a series of errors from an interchange official led to Richmond being incorrectly penalised for an interchange infringement in the third quarter against the Sydney Swans on Friday night.
"There was a miscommunication at bench level between Richmond and the interchange official," Evans said.
"[It was] a terrible outcome for the AFL and we put our hand up for that and we need to be better than that."
The infringement occurred when Tigers midfielder Shane Edwards returned to the ground after being assessed for concussion before the required 20 minutes had elapsed.
The Tigers allowed him to return however because they believed they had permission.
Their interchange steward had asked the AFL interchange official whether the player was allowed to come back on once cleared by the doctor and was told 'yes'.
However according to Evans the AFL official should have said 'yes, but you need to wait for the 20 minutes to expire'.
Evans said having made that first mistake the official then had chances to rectify the situation before the penalty was awarded.
"Not having done that, when they saw the player step up to go on to the ground they should have done everything within their power to make sure that he did not go on," Evans said.
With Edwards on the ground the penalty was awarded with the ball being taken from the Tigers' Tyrone Vickery, who was lining up for a goal, and given to Sydney Swans defender Nick Smith, who then was positioned to kick for goal at the other end of the ground.
The situation became farcical for a moment as players and umpires did not appear to know what to do in the situation, a point Evans conceded.
"Even from there, clunky and clumsy the way it was then played out between interchange officials and the umpire," Evans said.

How comforting :lol

How, give us the % that one more goal would have given us
Please...

Maybe they should just ditch the rule. If you're cleared of concussion, why wait any longer before being allowed on? And whilst we're ditching rules, pee the sub rule off with it.
-
I'm still confused. Did we put Edwards on too early due to bad advise from the interchange steward or did the interchange steward get it wrong? I thought the half time break counted towards the 20 minutes now. Didn't we make the concussion sub until half way through the break?
-
"[It was] a terrible outcome for the AFL
for the AFL? stuff me sideways
what about the team that was having a shot on goal only to have their opponents having a shot on goal?

The AFL deserves blame sure, but doesn't Vickery Snr also deserve to share some? As our interchange steward shouldn't he of been aware of the rules and also been timing it to make sure it was correct?

He was told by the AFL steward it was OK to put Edwards on. It's not his fault. Nobody seems to know what the rule is.
To me it is easy. There should be a time ? 20 min, that a player is assessed for concussion. If he is not right by that time he cannot go back on. That means that if you are OK in 2 minutes, you can go back on after 2 minutes. The sub can only be used while the player is off getting assessed. To stop abuse of the rule, heavy team fines should be imposed if it is deemed that the player faked to get the sub on.
The current rule penalizes the team who lost the player too much and is unworkable.

They haven't been able to get this right for how many years?
What a pack of redneck imbeciles.

Morons.

I know, I can read. That's why I said the AFL deserves the blame. They should of told him to wait a little longer when he asked. But it is his job to know the rules, and he didn't. He deserves to take some of the blame.
-
If our interchange steward doesn't know, the AFL steward doesn't know and most fans don't know what the rule is then I would suggest the rule and it's implementation is to blame.
