Autopsy AFL 2025 Second Qualifying Final - Cats v Lions Fri Sept 5th 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

[WindyHillZephyr]

There really should be ab option for the umpires to issue a warning. Soft but unnecessary contact - warning, repeat = free

 

[RCAB]

hope this umpiring continues throughout the weekend. Watson and Gini will kick 26 goals.

You're really clueless. GWS will get all the free kicks.

 

[docko911]

This. The calls were correct, textbook free kicks. Making illegal plays in the goal square is just bad football. Pretty easy solution, don’t snipe players in the goal square

The first one has never been a free. The second one wasn’t high but because Rayner played it up they were stupid enough to give another free. Sport isn’t worth watching if rubbish umpiring like that alters the result. For all we know those umps are on the Sportsbet books if the money went Geelongs way.

Standard booing is booing shit decisions and acts. Quaynor was booed for a very specific bigoted reason. The fact you need an explanation is just cracked

Ok so now there's rules to do you can boo? Get a grip snowflake. Grow a spine.

 

[Kipz]

On another note - you'd be licking your lips to play either of these two next week. Both on fraud watch after that half.



Yeah I did just say that

 

[Headless]

Rayner harder to find than Dezi Freeman. Next minute 2 flops. 2 goals lol. thank God I don't go for Geelong. I'd be livid.

these umpires just screwed their careers

Hard to argue with the statistics, danster168. Rayner is a match-winner - two clutch goals in a big game!

 

[Gavin Excell]

What was an umpire even doing looking at the goalsquare at that point in the game

1000m turnaround
Embarrassing for the afl

 

[DanA]

Big difference between that and a push, was more of a shepherd

It was literally his two palms smacking into his chest. The very definition of a push.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

AFL and Fox Footy brought the entire Geelong commentary team and boundary riders tonight.

Garry Lyon will be very confused, won't know who to suck off when it's a Cats vs Pies GF lol

 

[Thedeftouch]

Rayner didn’t flop, he obviously wasn’t expecting a cheap shot from behind 150m off the play. It’s difficult to understand why the defender felt the need to do that

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

You like those decisions?

The umps do the best they can from what they can see.
Anything off the ball risks a free.

 

[Kickit2brown]

Is Cam Rayner alright? Will he take part in the second half?

I think hes planning to drag Guthrie to the goal square

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Whoever loses this game will be beating you frauds in a Prelim anyway.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Untwist your knickers people. Cats all over us and will win comfortably.

 

[Pickitt]

It was literally his two palms smacking into his chest. The very definition of a push.

There's a reason you have a negative post-like ratio

 

[hawkman]

These umpires are never gonna be welcomed at the National Wool Museum

Or worse the Corio Bay Roadhouse

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Question.
Have you ever heard a commentator say the Umpires Coach needed to sort the Umpires out during a game?

 

[spacedout]

Is Cam Rayner alright? Will he take part in the second half?

I heard he needs scans, potential slipped discs from those vicious attacks

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Are you Aristotle or Muhammad?

Is that a racist slur?

 

[FFB1]

**** me thought WCE supporters and their call of ‘ball’ was bad - Geelong supporters down Punt Rd end call ball before a Brisbane player even looks like getting their hands on the pill.

 

[fpm84]

If you were a geelol fan, you wouldn't have a brain.
You're welcome

Says the guy with an avatar of someone who’ll be a Geelong player in six weeks time

 

[danster168]

Umpiring never been in a better place. lol.

those decisions reminded me of the Kozzie Pickett non tripping call in the goal square. makes you pull your hair out.

 

[aCunningPlan]

What was an umpire even doing looking at the goalsquare at that point in the game

That's the far end-zone's job...

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Anyone who justified any of those 3 frees should forfeit their right to comment on football seriously.

In my ideal world, only the Stewart one is a free. We don’t live in my ideal world. The cats did those two to themselves and the Guthrie one in particular is a free kick in any era.

 

[Joffaboy]

They were both soft.

The 2nd one was completely stupid by Guthrie though. Plus it is nice to see someone other than Sicily have that paid against them

First one was pathetic, happens every game and nothing, umpire inserts himself into the game, everything so bad about the umpiring.
Second one absolutely stupid by Guthrie, incredibly dumb.
