Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 18: Brisbane Lions vs. North Melbourne, 7:25pm AEST Gabba

[LukeParkerno1]

No, clear free kick he was blocked from
Jumping at the ball

Clear free to Brisbane then. Both were awful frees

 

[Shinboner '07]

More importantly, this lions team is the worst top 4 team ever. Will go out in straight sets

 

[Chubberson]

The better team won I rekn but bugger me the umps standing contest calls were nothing short on pathetic.

 

[JOELY]

There is something fundamental wrong with our game where you get a free kick for being weaker than your opponent

In ruck contests and marking contests - you go to ground you get a free kick

It’s bulls**t

It feels like one of hundreds of grey areas, inconsistencies and just backwoods interpretations that make up the game. Every match i watch there's multiple bizarre or downright unfair things that happen. And the AFL just adding more and more layers of crap instead of stripping the rules back to make it as simple and logical and less frustrating as it is now.

 

[SheezNuts]

That free makes up for the BS one Ben Brown got

Lol, you lads got the easiest ride of the year in the 3rd, and gifted the win. Stfu

 

[WCfan22]

Just don’t understand the inconsistency. I’ve seen forwards literally push players in the back, get paid a mark and kick a goal. Thompson didn’t even have hands in back. Can someone here explain how that was a free?

It wasn't. There's no way to think like the bald headed flogs

 

[Andronicus]

That is pure body contact.

If you complain about that, you should complain about the majority of Ben Clowns goals.

 

[wce4premiership]

That was a pathetic call, the umpire was all top happy to give the next one so the margin would be bigger.

He shat the bed, ruined the game. Can't believe that was called.

 

[Ry009]

I'd say nm were robbed but they got their fair share during the game so it's not really the case.

Nope.

 

[evo]

Exciting game, and great endeavour by North, but they have way too many spuds unfortunately.

 

[flojo]

If Thompson was a forward instead of a defender there wouldn’t even be any issues.

 

[Tiges1229]

Lol umps , North were robbed .

 

[scythe]

Great match. Last two minutes had me on the edge of the couch.

 

[Briar Gold]

Lions fans better not complain about Brown staging. Zorko was next level that match.

Also that free to Oscar might be the worst I've seen. At least top 5. So soft and determined the result.

 

[Page8383]

North fans conveniently forgetting all the charity frees they got all game. Brown playing for the free every time was disgusting to watch

Hmmm - think they went both ways tonight
Seemed to go in waves to either team.
Umpires probably just needed to stay out towards the end.
Once you’ve calmed down you might be closer to agreeing

 

[Benno_900]

You idiots who claim a square up for the Brown free kick... Did you watch the umpiring performance in thr 3rd quarter to turn the game?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Robbed

 

[Call Me Cake]

That umpire should face a review for that blatant horeshit free and for possible match fixing.

That was a clear side-bump in a marking contest and he marked the ball. That is not a free.

It is very telling when 99.9% of the people watching that are on the opposite side of the call.

We should NOT condone this from umpires. We should NOT allow horseshit like this to continue or to "slide".

This is NOT the standard that we should have.

Letting this be acceptable will eventually ruin the game in it's entirety.

Failing to bring this to the attention of the umpires will result in one thing and one thing only - and bookmark this - IT WILL COST A TEAM A PREMIERSHIP.

 

[windyhill]

Ghastly decision.

You don't penalise a defender for holding their position.

Or a ruckman.

 

[Great8]

How can you disappear after 1 quarter if the games are decided in the final seconds? Lol

6 goals in the first quarter last week and 6 more for the whole game.
5 goals in the first and 7 for the remainder including a scoreless third quarter.

 

[Roosurgence]

North fans conveniently forgetting all the charity frees they got all game. Brown playing for the free every time was disgusting to watch

You were gifted 4 points tonight.

The 3rd quarter was an umpiring disgrace and Fisher finished the job he started.

Give Fisher the votes in the Brisbane BnF. He won you the game.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Umpire shat the bed in the last two minutes. Zero game awareness.

Expect it to be waved on through by AFL house.

Why's everyone complaining about umps again, there's no match fixing in the AFL.

 

[Eagleboy68]

I hope you catch syphilis and die you cheating dog Fisher.

He wasn’t even trying to hide it.

Block..... oops wrong team I will make that a mark now.

Should never umpire at AFL level again.

Called a block against Hodge and changed his mind when Hodge looked at him.

Not even trying to hide it.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

That umpire should face a review for that blatant hores**t free and for possible match fixing.

That was a clear side-bump in a marking contest and he marked the ball. That is not a free. Should have been a behind and a kick-in.

It is very telling when 99.9% of the people watching that are on the opposite side of the call.

We should NOT condone this from umpires. We should NOT allow horses**t like this to continue or to "slide".
