AFL 2017 - R14 - Geelong v Fremantle: 1:10 AEST: Simmonds Stadium

[Tassieboy]

Why would Dangerfield do that? Absurd.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Horrific by freo to not drop everyone back

 

[SuperSub17]

How on earth do you let that go through for a point.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Will take a huge effort to kick 4 more goals than the Dockers, with 1 rotation against the wind.

 

[Randomizor]

How on earth do you let that go through for a point.

Because it doesn’t count?

 

[magut]

The good old school playground call of 'ball hog' is appropriate now

 

[Plugger35]

Dangerfield should have kicked it quickly inside 50 then, he was never going to get the distance from there.

Geelong still in it but will be tough for them in the last quarter with a lack of rotations.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Because it doesn’t count?

It did though, wasn't knocked through by Geelong so is a point

 

[Ressies runner]

How does that count quarter was over it was touched? Can someone explain please

 

[Altum Volantes]

Why would Dangerfield do that? Absurd.

Was certainly ambitious.

The trainer must have given him a quick sip of his own bath water I reckon.

 

[Struggle]

Because it doesn’t count?

But it does

 

[SuperSub17]

Because it doesn’t count?

It does if the attacking team doesn't touch it. My app has the score 51-70.

 

[The Joker]

Suban gets an outside 50 goal?

Now I've seen it all.

That's the one thing he has always had, so maybe you dont know as much as you think!!!

 

[Tassieboy]

Because it doesn’t count?

Yes it does?

 

[Randomizor]

It did though, wasn't knocked through by Geelong so is a point

Oh thought we touched it. My mistake.

 

[noise36]

I think if we lose from here it will be a ridiculous HTB call in their forward fifty in the dying minutes. Umpiring has been one way traffic thus far.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Selfish by Dangerfield. Poor by Freo to let a point in, just a lack of concentration.

 

[Power Raid]

A huge quarter quarter coming up for both sides

 

[Off The Couch]

"That'll count, they all count"

Umm no - siren sounded, touched ball, dead ball or has that rule changed as well

 

[SterlingArcher]

Oh thought we touched it. My mistake.

Think Darcy did but it doesn't matter if the opposing team touches it is my understanding

 

[DrEvil_]

Look at me! I can kick from 65!

 

[SterlingArcher]

"That'll count, they all count"

Umm no - siren sounded, touched ball, dead ball or has that rule changed as well

Only dead ball if the Cats knock it through - if Freo touch it and it rolls through it's a point

 

[Ressies runner]

"That'll count, they all count"

Umm no - siren sounded, touched ball, dead ball or has that rule changed as well

Thats what i don't understand unless it wasn't touched

 

[SuperSub17]

"That'll count, they all count"

Umm no - siren sounded, touched ball, dead ball or has that rule changed as well

It never was that.

If the defending team touches it it's live. Which is what happened.

It's only invalid if the attacking team touches it.

"Under Law 12.5.1 (b), a goal or behind can be scored if the ball is kicked before the siren while under Law 12.5.2, a behind can be scored for a kick after the siren if the ball is touched in transit and is not assisted by a player from the same team."

Kick after the siren, ball was touched, but not assisted by a player from the same team. The umps know the rules.
