It appears Dusty understands the rules of the game better than a paid umpire.

Yes, but the rule is that you must return the ball to the player on the full, as he kicked it away, it should have been a 50.

Calling that Deliberate sums up the umpiring tonight

I know, it's such a crap mentality. It's like in years past some Richmond supporters were not happy unless we lost so they had something to complain about.

I would have though 3rd quarter of the the St.Kilda V Essendon game in 1996 at Waverly when the lights went out, and they came back 2 days later to finish the game would have that covered by a fair margin.

Make it 7, you forgot Mansell

When Stand is called you can't move off the spot, but you can still jump and wave your arms. I have noticed over the practice games that the umps call stand multiple times even when the player is planted and doesn't look like moving.

No, I am not sure about this anymore. This image of a different ground shows the padding behind the line. Also it seems using the post is a bit of a grey area as it is accepted as a way of visually determining if the ball has passed over the line or not. But the only mention in the rules is...

The back of the post is aligned with the back of the line. The padding is actually behind the line but is considered part of the post which is why if it hits the back of the padding it has hit the post. As for the when it was touched, from one angle it looks like he touched it before the post...

Only till the top of the padding then it is just the post.

You say it was a free at best, which is why it was 50, because it was late high contact after a mark was taken. If the mark wasn't already completed then it would have just been a high contact free kick.

Unfortunately Butler lost form at the wrong time last year and couldn't get it back. He was one that I didn't want to see go, but you can't keep them all.

No, Playing for Australia is the pinnacle. Also in Rugby League, players picked for SOO can't play for their club the weekend before the game, and not many players get picked for Australia if they don't play well in SOO.

I hope so.

Are you really suggesting that the entire team is so mentally weak that they fell apart because of 1 decision that you say was wrong. Better hope that GWS never get a decision against them ever again or they will lose by 15 goals every game from now on! What a ridiculous comment. How did they...

Don't think it really matters in the end. The committed supporters will be there no matter what (as we have seen over the years when teams like mine have been rubbish for years) and as we know the average Sydney people like an event and jump on a winner. So if the Giants get on a roll then the...

Hard to say, 17 I was nervous all game and only really believed that we had won it when Butler kicked the goal in the last quarter. When I looked back that happened when we were over 40 points up and there was only a few mins left but being a long term Richmond supporter I have seen us lose from...

Sorry for the late reply, but while yes the ball was in their forward line a while and they did kick some points, it's not a given that if you kick a goal that after the next ball up that the ball will automatically just appear inside 50 again for another shot at goal. The ball is back in the...

If If Cameron had of attempted to spoil with a straight arm fist like Blicvas instead of using his elbow then he probably would of either got the ball or missed connecting Andrews in the head. Then he would have been fine instead of suspended.

Is there something that I have missed that has resulted in the constant booing. It seems that the crowd boo's even when Adelaide does something good!
