Autopsy AFL 2025 First Preliminary Final - Pies v Lions Sat Sept 20th 5:15pm EST (MCG)

[Dangerfield86]

Yet when your mob won it in 22, also too old and slow.

Narrative changed immediately after the game, to too experienced and too good.

We do it and fall in a heap. Typical of being a Pies fan.

Hey Carringbush, i said to you the pies win against the crows was inferior form and also told others
on this forum, and i was correct, i also said the pies form b4 the finals was terrible. lost to the dockers, belted,
by the hawks and lions, and that if the lions brought their A game to the final they would beat the pies.
The lions with so many injuries still won and are clearly a level above the pies, their midfield is elite.
Would not surprise if they win the gf next week, and also they will be contenders in 2026 for sure.
Pies have done well this year but the list is old now need to rebuild and play younger players, and
not top with old players. Pendlebury and sidebottom are playing next year but they should retire.

Wow you correctly predicted the result of an almost 50/50 game. You are pretty much an oracle. Thank you for blessing us all with your wisdom.

 

[Madas]

Yeah the first 50 was 100% there, but the second wasn't.

Happens dozens of times a game. If your opposing player goes into the protected area, you're allowed to follow him. So how can it be 50 against Ashcroft for being in the protected area when there's 3 Pies there? Terrible call.

Funny thing is the exact same thing happened in the last quarter , can’t remember who the Brissie player was but they pointed it out to the ump ( not as sookily as Daycare mind you ) and the second fifty want paid .

Incidental is a slight graze.

Chopping someone's arm out is not incidental.... IN FACT... It's a free kick from behind too.

Imagine a world where he didn’t chop his arm.

That’s the world we live in

Andrews > Nick Daicos

 

[RCAB]

He’s correct. In our game, incidental contact means contact that is made during a genuine attempt at the ball. No where in the rules does your caveat of “a graze” exist.

As you can see, Starcevich clearly has eyes for the ball, and his hand makes contact with the ball at the same time as Elliot’s. The contact is incidental. An arm chop is when you prevent a mark by hitting the arms instead of the ball. It is not if you happen to make contact with the arms AS you hit the ball.

Just stop.

Showing a "still" picture shows you have no idea about what you're talking about.

 

[RCAB]

That's actually not what incidental means at all. It has nothing to do with the force of the contact. It is whether the contact happens as a consequence of your sole focus being to get to the football.

Given the footage shows that Starcevich never took his eyes off the football, that was demonstrably the case here.

Force has a lot to do with it.

No wonder everyone conplains about umpires and "Australian Rules" have been stupidly interpretered by the general football public for 100 years.

 

[ceebsaf]

Pack it in folks, RCAB has mounted a pretty irrefutable case right here.

Granted, it's pretty easy to win an argument if you just start baselessly rejecting the (correct) definitions of words.

rcab is a wannabe whately. Sits on his high horse. No idea what hes talking abouy

You might want to try to fix your English before throwing such insults

Where in the rules does it say that?

You’re pulling out the spelling insult when you got complains and interpreted wrong.

Well played champ

That's okay. At least I know what an obvious free kick looks like... You don't.

The rule specifically mentions incidental contact which is exactly what it was.

I’d say read the rules but I’m guessing comprehension is a challenge for you.

if you have a support worker with you get them to read page 52 rule 18.5

[Redline]

The actual worst bit of umpiring was Saint Nicky Daicos politely asking for a SECOND soft-as-shit 50 metre penalty and the umpire going: "Oh alright Nicky, because you asked so nicely, here you go, have another one!"

Pathetic.

The umpires got caught up in the moment during the second quarter. The Pies got a number of frees that helped that second quarter run. If course no Pies supporters are talking about those.

Ok gerard.

Explain to me like I’m a child what Starc did wrong?

Simple should come easy to you

Front on contact and hit is arm with force. Free kick every other week or decade

Read the rule, front on contact isn’t automatically a free kick.

Force also isn’t part of the rule.

0 for 2 but keep on trying buddy

Another spelling mistake as well, aren’t you the grammar/spelling police?

Front on contact is not automatically a free kick, but when you "cannon" into a player and chop his arm, it's a free kick.

Logic isn't your strong suit.

Here it is again.
