There was a classic in Hobart last weekend. Larkey marks the ball about 15m out dead in front, and it was a mark all day long. The maggot calls play on, Larkey raises his hands in disbelief, then said maggot pays a free against for dissent. First time it's happened I believe. So according to...

I see chumpcharlie is back telling everyone how a stupid and ridiculously adjudicated rule is good for the game... On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Dennis Denuto was on board to word the legislation. NMs Larkey had a run in with this idiotic rule today. He wasn't paid a mark that was a mark in any league across Australia, put his arms out and was called for dissent and a free against paid. The u.pire basically compounded a ahit decision...

They are all the worst unless a player is actually spitting the dummy... On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

We had 10 years of the campaigner. We know he can bullshit with the best of them... On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Is the umpires dissendence redundant and irrelevant or asking how many times they defied the AFL in a Friday night game? The AFL stated with zero ambiguity that any sign of dissent will be a 50 metre penalty. I didn't watch the game, how many 50s were paid? Do you not care when rules arnt...

Why didn't you answer the question? On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I didn't watch it. How many arms out did the umpires not pay against Bards wishes in this game? On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

It's crystal clear the umpires do not agree with the AFLs definition of what constitutes dissent There is no more to say is there? A few in here were stroking their collective wads in favour of a s**t rule the AFL were trying to force upon an already maligned group, and they flat out...

I think this thread is done. Clearly Bard and Chris' views can't be changed so it's left to the sane posters to argue the semantics. Fact - the AFL said 'no dissent is acceotable' the umpires agree. Fiction - Dissent is being penalised. We dont know yet as didn't see any dissent over...

We should go back to 1 umpire then as it really doesn't matter how many howlers they adjudicate anymore. Except at the 'review' of course lol On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

It needs to be be AFL funded. They have plenty. On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

It's obviously more important to make match payments larger for grass roots footy to entice new umpires into the fold. Once you have a big enough base, the salaries up top become more important to keep umpires striving for promotion and in the game for longer. On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com...

No players stating their case towards a stupid free kick where the umpire is wrong is called 'feedback'. Not allowed as it's abuse. "The AFL has reviewed this weekend's round of umpiring and has found 2 incorrect decisions" [emoji2961] On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

But we all need to change... Except the umpires, they can be s**t for as long as they like without consequence apparently. The narrative is sickening. On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

No, I won't see what you see because I refuse to swallow the narrative as you have hook, line and sinker. I'm all for actual umpire dissent being called out but this is simply ridiculous posturing that will have fans spewing vitriol all game long. Like all business, maybe the AFL will have to...

I would say anyone advocating for players to not show any emotion at all towards umpires has never played the game. I would be more supportive of the AFLs stance if interpretations were black and white and officiated to the letter of the law, but they arnt and never will be. It's a s**t show...

Osho is Bard and Charlie is his w***er brother. Only explanation imo On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Fix the interpretations and the dissent wouldn't be as much of a problem. We have players at every single club now flopping and diving and constantly being rewarded, except now they get the daily double as they are rewarded again with a 50m penalty if anyone raises their arms in disgust...

Yep. That's why I dont care about any rules changes they bring in. I cant wait for the rusted on to leave the game in disgust and then watch the *******s at afl come groveling. If they balls this up bigtime, there needs to be a full clean out. New commissioners, new media, new committees...

They want the '85 grandfinal for the h&a games and the '06 grandfinal in the finals... They are ******* idiots. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Looked to me like he was trying to find a pressure point. Training with Juddy isnt he? On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Fair enough, although im not expecting anyone to change my opinion, im just interested in other thoughts, how they see things and how they come to hold the opinions they do. Its just discussion. For instance- Now the sliding rule has been added(when it actually gets enforced) i wonder what...

Dont know how to wrap text in quotes like you did lol

Geelong fans= Genius- has never ducked only bent knees, raised arm, wizard of the game Anyone else= campaigner who gets dubious free kicks and always will. Geelong fans lol

OK, thats a fair enough stance to take, but what about dangerous tackles that dont concuss someone? Are we trying to eliminate the action or do we only really care about the outcome? What if the tackle is perfectly legal and the tacklee gets knocked out? Surely we cant be suspending players that...

If there is consistency with this ruling(*ing LOL), then im tipping 60-70 players rubbed out this season... Bring that down to 10-12 though, as its not the action that deems you to be suspended, its the outcome(but only sometimes ie. depends on player, club, who they play week after) #pluckaduc

So, in you opinion, was it right for Waite to be suspended for that tackle?

Must be only Western supporters that know how to footy then, as everyone else knows you throw the ball more times than a Wallabies v Springboks test.

Not worth replying to MT90s... The bloke is either on the sauce big time or a dill...
