What a joke, full speed, 1-2 meters from contest and AFL says he should not have braced to protect for impact, how can Mansell predict Aish wasn't going to brace for the contest... Players must be aware a hit can occur in a 50-50 contest

One does not have to touch the ball to compete. Lynch had eyes for the ball until the last millisecond there was an obstacle impeding his run at the contest Basically he was competing against the defender who judged the ball flight better and in the end outmarked him. Lynch was still competing...

No, not at that speed of play... 😵‍💫 Keath didn't judge it properly, he wasn't contesting the mark, wasn't blocking, wasn't crumbing... To be honest he seemed in no man's land with no particular intention... And expecting contact, you brace yourself for impact as you are running into incoming...

Keath runs into the marking contest and just before the bump looks at the contest rather than the ball... So one can ask, what was his intention? Did he overrun his intended "crumbing area"? because he obviously wasn't going for the mark, did he intend to block? Not sure Personally I think he...

It's all sour grapes Dusty kicks the freakiest goals, sets up team mates better than anyone with penetrating kicks rather than hands balls, brought the "don't argue" to the game ie very hard to tackle for so many years, a leader on the field, possesses aura, brings other players into the game...

Basically we are getting 2 players at the peak of their potential and we are also getting accomplished players Happy to bring in established ammunition to the battlefield rather than investing in future potential cadets

We need to get the best out of him, he is a natural and can have a role in our 22. He basically needs to regain the passion, regain his enthusiasm and not see playing footy as a job

Hope he stays, can play defence and forward Has all the traits just seems like he hasn't regained the exuberance playing footy Don't want to see wasted talent, if he does get deli's ted it would be a shame but a bigger lots for any club not considering giving him a 2nd go

The knockers were plenty but the Pies definitely showed up... Would have been epic had you guys managed to pull it off Playing away to a team that rested and gave up a 4 goal deficit... Kudos to the Pies

What maths? Can you indicate what maths was used by the ARC or are you referring to you Microsoft Paint picture? LOL

As long as we don't raid and offer avg picks to GWS I'm content recruiting two tried and experienced onballers, it's what we need at the club Think this years draft is pretty good and deep so hopefully GWS get compensated well and are able to ease salary cap pressure. Basically they've been...

While your whining this how about we mention Lynchs kick at goal and Andrews charging at him as soon as he commenced his 1st step towards goal... Look at the video, umpire calls play on whilst Andrews took 4-5 steps... 50 meters on every other occasion

So we throw out tribunal judiciary outcomes?? And we prefer grainy mobile phone footage over a grainy tv camera, gotcha

There was no opposition contesting the ball, Daniher was rewarded for not contesting Had the umpire not called touched on the incoming kick, a mark may have been attempted, but the attempt changed to a spoil or tap for a behind as the ball was in mid flight... 3 defenders went up unopposed...

Do explain this law of physics... And not your Microsoft paint image but a reliable factual source

If one grainy low resolution camera from afar supposedly shows a dot hovering above a stick and a second camera camera shows a similar image frame then that tells me the technology is inadequate to overturn an umpire standing directly behind the post looking up and seeing the ball inside the...

Another great game Well played Pies unlucky in the end with injuries when you needed the run, basically ahead most game Great finals series so far

So from that distance, looking at a terribly pixelated footage, that you watch on a screen, you're telling me, that basically you can judge whether the ball was over and not a few inches behind the post? You must have exemplary eagle vision Yet, the goal umpire according to you, directly behind...

Bring it home Pies!!

Don't complicate it It's simple, camera view was inadequate

Not conclusive, umpires call should have stood The other issue that stood out to me was as soon as Lynch took his first step, Andrews started to charge at him... Lynch did not go off his mark with his first step, it is not play on until the umpire calls it and that wasn't until a few seconds...

What never gets mentioned is the moment Lynch takes a step the man on the mark starts charging at him, never saw the umpire call play on...

We all know Collingwood are given the bigger sides more often than other clubs And when that gets mentioned the response is always "But everybody wants to play us" When both teams are up and firing they both get good crowds Considering Richmond were in the wilderness for 35 years, they do...

Basically as I know it, you ping a players arms therefore taking away the players ability to protect himself then you've taken onus not to smash his head to the turf... Can this be argued? As we saw with the Cripps case anything can happen Do I want to see a player miss finals due to this...

This is getting beyond a joke now Clear cut bump... So much for contact sport... It's going to become touch footy

Not sure... Is he not allowed to bump and contest at the same time? The AFL counsel Nicholas Payne last night said "the player could contest the ball but still maintain the action of bumping an opponent" So Crouch was in the action of contesting... It's either he tackles or bumps... And...

Basically this is how I read in to it The prosecuting team didn't use the word "bump" when questioning Cripps, yet in their findings and in the guilty statement, they used the word "bump" and that is what was argued by Carlton as a technicality (1 of 3 arguments I believe) Now that is fair...

Wow didn't see the technicality there 😊 Controversy, this is good stuff, why would we expect a clear devisive interpretation of a play when the umpires set the precedent 😂 The anger, the jubilation! AFL brings it all Let's play ball!!!

Costly error of judgement It sucks, it really does, you don't want such an important player at such an important stage to be rubbed out But I can't see any way out of this, split second costly act The concussion is the clincher...

That's fine, you see it as a bump gone wrong, I see it as an intentional and dangerous bump that could have had serious consequences. Footy doesn't need this risk It's a high impact game and there are plenty of clashes that make you think, this is a tough game without bashing a defenceless guys...
