Rules Interchange infringement wins Sydney the game

[Veer Right]

Surely the penalty needs to be changed to a club fine.

Horrible way for North to lose the game.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

It’s a pretty easy rule to follow.

A dodgy umpiring call late in a game is way worse than something so black and white.

No sympathy here.

 

[Powerade 08]

Maybe it was by design

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Just count better

 

[SA HAWK]

The most devious bit of tanking i have ever seen.

 

[Occidental]

It can’t be a fine, as the outcome gives you an advantage in the actual game. More fresh legs etc… that just isn’t fair to the opposition.
It’s incredibly harsh, but it’s never happened before as everyone sticks to the rules.
Feel for North as it’s an awful way to lose…but them’s the rules.

 

[Stars align]

Just count better

Surely it’s all done automatically updating on a laptop
Not using a felt pen and the picket fence method
How can you get it wrong

If you are that unprofessional where you stuff this up you deserve a free kick and 50 against. I’ve never seen it done before

What happened? Fill us in.

 

[LSRU]

Feel sorry for the Roos fans at the game. Would have had no idea what had happened.
We are s**t

 

[Ry009]

It was dumb, it is what it is.

More annoyed with the questionable umpiring during the course of the game to be honest.

We're still bad enough to not tank either.

 

[Connor7395]

What happened? Fill us in.

North Melbourne went over the interchange cap in the last minute, Sydney were awarded a free and fifty right in front of goal.

 

[cznsnowy91]

What happened? Fill us in.

3 points up with about 30seconds left, deep in Sydneys fwd line, umpire stops play, talks in his headset for a bit and gives a free kick and 50 on the goal line for going over the interchange cap of 75. Bit of a rough way to lose.

 

[Sminglers]

I highly recommend supporting North Melb

Why? Made for a great dramatic ending and a game we probably won't forget for a long time. I don't think it has ever happened before.

North had the brain fade. Dont see why it's the AFL's fault.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Another game full of unrewarded tackles and illegal disposal too. That umpiring crew is really bad. Swans kicked two in a row from throws.

 

[RUNVS]

I highly recommend supporting North Melb

You should be put in prison for such a recommendation.

 

[Engimal v3]

The most devious bit of tanking i have ever seen.

It makes me feel better to believe this

 

[Run n Spread]

What happened? Fill us in.

Free kick and 50 for swans to kick the winning goal with 30 secs left.
North made a 76th rotation when it's capped at 75

 

[Ry009]

You should be put in prison for such a recommendation.

Does wonders for blood pressure.

 

[JP2]

I don't understand why it's even permitted to make a 76th interchange - why doesn't the steward just say that the team has already made 75 and prevent players from coming off? Surely there are going to be situations where it's more valuable to give away a free kick and make an interchange than to keep a good player on the bench in a tight game, so it effectively means that a team can make an infinite number of interchanges so long as they're willing to eat the penalties. Dumb rule.

When would a free kick and a 50 ever be a benefit?

Happy to wear the result of the today before anyone sooks, but that makes too much sense. AFL asleep at the wheel as usual.

What happens if a player does a hammy with a bit more time in the game to go and ball is up the other end?

 

[Hojuman]

My ? If the ball was down Norths end ? 140m penalty ?
