You need prior opportunity before you get called holding the ball. Why do so many people on here, Bigfooty being a congregation of the most passionate of AFL fans, not know this?! That Stephenson incident is not holding the ball, he didn't have prior.
Incorrect disposal, whatever. Point still stands, the inconsistency of the interpretation is ****ed.

That's fine if he gets wrapped up but he had his hands free and didn't dispose of it correctly so it should be a free. i.e. he just threw the ball out
 
Umpires were pretty bad but Essendon fluffed their lines a few times.


It didn’t affect the result. 4 goals from frees for essendon

I’ve seen way worse umpiring. Heaven forbid Essendon cop a few bad calls for a change

Please, having one arm pinned has been deemed as having prior opportunity for years. If you have an arm pinned, you still have an opportunity to get a kick away.

Honestly every game a good player from the opposition would get booed at footy park back in the day... one week plugger... the next Buckley himself... then carey... it should be a sign you're intimidating the opposition crowd.

Good old 2019 Politically incorrect garbage

When the players from both sides stop on multiple occasions for free kicks and not paid you know something is broke with the umpiring. HTB cut from the rule book randomly.

I dont agree with essendon supporters booing through the medal ceremony though, and big respect for bucks calling it out.

It may not have mattered to the outcome, but Stephenson should've been pinged. Umpires need to be held to account over stuff like that. It had a massive bearing on the end result. Plus, as fans, we all like to watch a fair and even contest during the dying stages of a match.
I personally thought the Stephenson call was a 50/50.

You can't get pinged for incorrect disposal is you don't have prior! Holy ****, it amazes me how oblivious people are on an AFL forum. You are the guys who are meant to know the rules
Yet if you read my initial post, I gave a clear example where a player was twice in one game pinged despite not having prior. This is why people have the shits. Fro game to game, the decisions are completely different. The league is ****ed.
