Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 5 - Lions v Bombers Sat April 17th 7:25pm EST (Gabba)

[Red Black and Blue]

Mate if Hipwood wanted to knock it out he was a metre away from the boundary. He's knocked it 30m downfield, after running 40 odd, got bumped as he kicked it OFF THE GROUND. Have some common sense

We have copped it all year. Had about 10 against last week.

you clearly didnt watch the 4 similar decisions against us last week. The umpires dont pay for intent, they pay for lack of attempt at keeping the ball in play

Francis got pinged spoiling a marking attempt by Franklin. It's bullshit.

 

[JM#1]

I've come to realise that instead of the umpires observing the games and just calling it as they see it, they instead go in search of reasons to blow their whistles.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Where is the consistency? “It’s in the forward line” wtf is that.

Cant say many of us Lions fans go out of the way to watch your team.

 

[Desync]

We going to win ez pz DW just warming up.

I don't care about last week lmao. And i think you missed my point bud aye, instead of knocking it out of bounds, which I'll remind you he was only a metre out from when he kicked, he hacked it downfield another 30m. What more intent do you want from him??

 

[fishardansin]

I love Andy McGrath ... but McCluggage was available at that pick ...

fair enough too. However, last week rancis was penalised for deliberate OOB while spoiling Franklin in a marking contest.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Do you not even have to disguise the fact you're not trying to keep it in play if its raining? Asking for a friend

it's consistent with what we've copped under similar circumstances this year

What the * is wrong with the bombers.

From the get go just ******* about with the ball when it was torrential rain.

Just ******* bang it forward.

* it's just so dumb. It's stuff that Auskick kids know.

Must be infuriating as a bomber fan, it's pissing me off and i'm a neutral.

 

[Back One Out]

Free kicks
Brisbane..... 7
Essendon... 20

 

[Dwhale44]

umps stretching the not 15 rule to try and get the game moving, you can't change the weather umps just accept its going to be a low scoring game you flagpoles.

 

[Power Raid]

the dons are a better side than this

 

[Thedeftouch]

Surely we should have an exception for deliberate OOB if the ball would have gone out of bounds if the player didn’t touch it?

The Hipwood decision is a perfect example where the player is just trying to stop the ball from going out of bounds and gets punished

 

[Great8]

Blowtorch for us this week. Easily the worst performance of the weekend. Just pathetic

 

[Great8]

No, no we aren’t.
Deadset rabble

 

[The 747]

Bombers look pretty clueless in the wet

 

[rdhopkins2]

Disappointing from Essendon so far. Really haven’t shown a lot tonight.

If you smash it towards the boundary when there is no chance you're passing it, it is going to be a free every time.

 

[Great8]

We have been utterly hopeless in the wet for years. Even if dry we would be flogged tonight though. We just haven’t turned up

Probably but really, a smart player forces a ball in. Good example was Andrews taking the ball near the boundary. Instead of just dumping it forward in hope to definitely lose it, he gets bumped over the line for a stoppage that the midfield will more than likely win.

some days yes, other days this is our standard
