Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 11 - Swans v Tigers Fri May 27th 7:50pm EST (SCG)

[Altum Volantes]

Drama Cabana!

Would have been a bullshit 50 and everyone would be complaining about over-umpiring if they went with that…

 

[Visions]

Play only stops once the umpire signals it. Siren is literally only there to signal to the umpire the end of the quarter/game.

Isn’t play over when the umpire hears the siren, not when he signals it as it takes a second or two for the signal?

That’s why they alwys consult on tight end of quarter calls as to whether they heard it.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

It's almost as if he played for Richmond at one stage.

Why is he allowed to commentate their games?

 

[Grockadoc]

Umpire must have thought Bolton heard it, as other players around stopped. A bit different to this one, he obviously didn't hear it.

Other players around the contest looked at the ump when the whistle went as well. They were aware.

 

[ptrg]

All this talk of "common sense". Since When?

The umpire couldn't make a call without getting advice in the earpiece?

Brad Scott told us that there would be no common sense or individual leniency.
Free kicks and 50s would be paid to the letter of the law.

 

[Gratees]

Essendon

Yeah sorry i only remembered that it happened in a freo game, couldn't remember who they played

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Shouldn't be seen that way, and I'll explain why.

MRO has made a ruling thay ANY head contact is medium impact, not low. Refer to Pickett bump - Moore gets straight up and isn't concussed but it's graded as reckless, high contact and medium impact.

If the MRO has any integrity Buddy's smack will be graded intentional, high contact, medium impact. Simply can't do that crap anymore.

I’d agree if Lynch went a few weeks ago for the same thing

 

[Coasters7]

50 has to be paid. Same scenario could happen and you can kick it out of the stands to get your players time to get back on the goal line to defend a kick from max distance. (Imagine it was an open goal line) pay it he same way. Every. Time.

It’s harsh in this instance to pay it though. It’s clear as day he’s just overjoyed and elated at the result that he’s smashed his foot through the ball. It’d be extremely harsh to effectively overturn a result when it’s clear to everyone watching what occurred (bar the commentary and Tiges players)

 

[BringOn2017]

If only the obvious buddy running through the mark or paddy mccartin just dragging in and sitting on the ball in front of goal was paid. You pay 60 frees and not those obvious ones in front of our goal. That is the game there. I don't think I have ever watched a sport that is regularly decided by umpiring.

 

[kickazz]

The rules state….

A 50 cannot be payed after the siren.

Really? Did they change the rule after the Jim Stynes incident?

 

[Seadog]

Common sense argument is absolute bullshit. That is never used in games when it is too loud for players to hear, it’s still paid against. To ask the higher ups to make the call aswell is bullshit, too; it should set a precedent for every time a player kicks it away after a free kick for it to be given to the 3rd umpire to make the “common sense” call.

It's used all the time when a player kicks or handballs after a kick is paid, no one makes a big deal out of it then because usually the result isn't hanging on it.
If they pay it on every occasion you'll be back here whinging when it goes against you.
Reiwoldt should be reported for umpire dissent.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

The most dangerous thing is that the media don’t seem to know this!!!
Fuel to the fire.

 

[Wosh]

Worthy of a thread

Umpiring - Swans v Tigers - Should it have been 50?

What's the precedence for this and did ‘common sense’ prevail?

The rules state….

A 50 cannot be payed after the siren.
A similar situation happened earlier in the year to the pies and the ump was heard to say on the mic “I wish I could but the rules say I can’t!”

So as soon as the siren went….no 50 can be paid.

No point going at the umps.
How about we direct the vitriol to the AFL?!?

Why would you want to direct vitriol to the AFL about this?

 

[ptrg]

Richmond were not disadvantaged by the ball being kicked away.

If you’re taking a shot from 60 to win a game, would you rather kick over the current 10 swans players inside 50. Or the 18 that flood back after the ball is retrieved from the stands?

 

[footyfan1978]

The tigers melts are glorious.

Just makes me feel a warm inner glow.
More melts please!!!

 

[kickazz]

Dusty went running up to the umpire like a little school girl trying to dob someone in.

He's allowed to plead his case.

Youre not serious? Richmond was getting away with holding and throwing the ball all night. Should have been 50+ FAs

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

No such thing as dissent any more?
Plenty of arms out. Heck Riewoldt was about to take flight!

 

[Stottzy]

People complain all year about soft free kicks being paid and then scream for that to be 50. Seriously no wonder nobody will ever be happy with umpiring.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Just watched the replay... whistle went before the siren so there was a free, ball kicked away was 50m, simple as that, no room for leniency

Poor umpiring

 

[boncer34]

Then there is the fact that he didn't give the ball back to the player who's free it was directly. Either way, it was 50m.

But the giving it back directly is to prevent delay of game I.e. stopping a team from moving the ball quickly.

Who was Prestia gonna pass to?

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

BT is biased against us nearly every week. He’s a pies man in his retirement.

Oh he is shocking when commentating the pies. But when it’s tigers v a neutral especially an interstate club he barracks hard for you guys.

 

[SSwans2011]

If it was 50, it was overturned for dissent, so who gives a s**t? Richmond obviously, and seemingly a few Bulldogs supporters I guess.

Great game of footy, and glad Buddy pulled a win out of his ass after we were shithouse in the first half.

Ladhams was BOG IMO. Fair case can be made for Buddy, but Ladhams was great for four quarters.

 

[J_Moore]

Umpiring shouldn't be subjective, thats whats causing the problems
