Can an independent commission investigate the AFL for blatant cheating?

[Jack5]

The only thing that needs reviewing is if the umpire had a line of sight on the ball being dropped.

Lack of line of sight didn't stop them paying htb at the other end when the Brisbane player was trying to get rid of it with no prior opportunity.

Let’s just skip over Hipwood diving for frees all game lol

Oh the irony...

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Half your side ought to try out for the Wallabies.

At least i pick a side and stick to it unlike you. Turncoat flog.

P.S. Thomas I don’t rate, respect or care for your views on the football board, nothing has changed here.

Ciao.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Vicphobia will be off the scale tonight. Fans booted out of the ground, then beaten by an umpire afraid to make the right call.

Umpires

 

[banzai]

The Guthrie non holding the ball was way worse.

 

[Shadow89]

That whole game was awfully umpired. I don't even know who should've won. Hipwood kicked nearly his entire score from free kicks - while holding the balls were a crapfest...was actually really unenjoyable because of the umpires. That final free was holding the ball, but then that free up forward against Miers where he had literally no prior whatsoever - was not holding the ball.

I just feel s**t after watching that whole game lol. We dominated three quarters, but Brisbane crushed us in the last. No words

 

[HG Pennypacker]

He choked. Didn’t have the balls to pay it when it was clear as day HTB.

 

[blinkd]

It will never happen. They are a protected species

 

[Substance]

Get rid of that umpire. Was unable to pay the obvious free against the home crowd.

 

[Blackas87]

Boundary and goal umpires need to be able to pay free kicks.

Don’t even try it.

That was the most unbelievably one sided display of umpiring I’ve seen in years.

That last five minutes was a disgrace (the frees to Selwood were a joke). Home crowd s**t.

This was an occasion where you can definitively say that the umpiring determined the result.

Stop holding him in the marking contest then lol

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Must’ve been hesitation given the context.

Lack of leadership. Needs to be fired.

 

[bzparkes]

Or Rohan goal on the siren

The one where he played on and the siren went?

 

[spudmaster]

No wonder they're so desperate to play finals down there!

 

[bzparkes]

Really? Which ones?

Show them.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

The non Vic sides really have to start showing a united front against the Victorian corruption.

First time we’ve ever agreed on anything Papa!

 

[Franc de Borges]

West Coast at Optus is the only other scenario where you can imagine something that bad being ‘missed’. Perhaps Adelaide at Football Park in the 90s.

 

[bzparkes]

Where the fu** were you after the 2016 gf? Lazy campaigner.

I was in a pub in Thailand, watching with a Sydney supporter. I was going for the Dogs but I was ropeable with the umpiring at the end so much that it made me angry that Footscray won.

 

[Cool Kangas]

How annoyed did Jono brown look?

 

[NeverForget2]

Sack them all and replace them with cardboard cut outs. Yeah they won’t have much control over the game but there won’t be any mistakes made and I’m fine with that

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Ha. The umpire has simply choked there. Nothing more, nothing less.

Umpire feared for his life getting out of Geelong. Should not umpire again, should cost him his career.

you cannot have someone umpiring that has such demonstrably poor decision making ability.

 

[bzparkes]

Ha. The umpire has simply choked there. Nothing more, nothing less.

They choked on Geelong's 10inch for the last 5 minutes of the game

 

[Greggy]

It’s baffling that one weak non-call can decide the game, but the game was littered with some outrageous calls, holding the ball with no prior was paid a lot tonight.
