Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

[Arden]

Is umpired differently to everyone else. The AFL is a three-ring circus.

Tonight it was a four ring circus.

 

[SMaturin]

Scott says in his presser after the game that umpires said he wasn't being paid frees because he's a ducker. Wow. I hope the club sticks this one right up the AFL - that is unacceptable.

For real?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Getting treated by the umpires as a stager because that's what he used to do. I said it 5 years ago that he needed to cut that shit out otherwise it would cost him in the long run....look what happens now, wouldn't get a free kick even if he was murdered on field

 

[TwentyNine]

For real?

Yep, straight from the horses' mouth.

Yep, straight from the horses' mouth.

Tim Watson said he thought he heard it on the CH7 audio!

 

[LT Smash]

So Lindsay gives up a 50 for not coming back on the mark within the allotted 0.7 seconds. Hill wanders within a couple of metres of Mason Wood having a set shot and the umpire politely asks him to stop doing that. I guess they can say that proves it isn't racism.

Absurd.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Why has no one talked about the goal he kicked.

 

[Only Forwards]

There were two absolute belters.

One luckier but spectacular all the same.

 

[TwentyNine]

I can't believe how many easy shots we missed, compared to the ones he pulled out of his ass. Haters will hate but jeez he is electric at his best.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Cos it wasn't Cyril

That was quite amazing. Hill sauntered right up to him. Instead of applying the 50 Hill got a polite request to move on.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Hill laid his hands on Wood and tried to get him to move to a more acute angle on his set shot, and the ump asked him nicely to move back

Not only that, laid his hand on Mason to push him onto what he believed the line should be.

He is the proverbial boy who cried wolf. Cautionary tale for your kids.

Absolutely farcical.

Well, if he umpired maybe LT might get a free?

This might be unpopular but they were both correct decisions. Someone was already on the mark when Thomas came in but he went 2 or 3 metres too close. He effectively ran across the mark, 50 was the right decision.

With the Wood one, the umpire called time off and set the mark and took the players on the side away from Wood. That's what happens with every set shot from an angle.

haha 100%. Knew the champ would be the man to ask. Don't tell me you can't find it cause it wasn't said

 

[giantroo]

The only stage I could think it could have happened is when Siciliy got his first free for a high and Jmac mentioned LT. However, nothing was mentioned at that stage.

 

[giantroo]

Ok, been told it was in the 2nd quarter, caught on mics apparently.

 

[wolvesRoos]

He kept us in it with his two great goals.
