Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 13 - Freo v Tigers Sat June 10th 7:25pm AEST (OS)

[CarnTheScray]

Huge win. Especially given that horrid umpiring.

That Tim Taranto goes okay

Bolton 14 touches in the last quarter too

 

[Boppo]

Longmuir given a bath in the coaches box tonight.

 

[benji21]

They don't play to score

Same scoring as the dogs? would say dogs are defensive?

 

[dean33]

No. What was abysmal was Richmond's skill level. But of course, instead of being humbled by that, the arrogance focuses on something else. Perfect example of the mindset of the club and it's supporters.

Go to bed, you’re drunk.

Bolton 14 touches in the last quarter too

Yeah probably BOG in the end. Huge last qtr.

 

[Black Saab]

The free kick was for making his headband fly off

I really hope the bloke is ok but that's the type of umpiring call made in the International Rules series played by the AFL B team against Ireland in November.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Same scoring as the dogs? would say dogs are defensive?

Awful awful game.plan

 

[benji21]

Yeh ok, I see it.
Probably will get weeks in this day and age but he was contesting the ball and a millisecond later to it than aish.

Yep just cant bump these days when contesting for the ball. not unless you get low

 

[dean33]

So if there is insuffient evidence to say it hit the post then surely that’s a goal and not umpires call?

No, if there is insufficient evidence to say it hit the post or didn’t hit the post you go with the umpires call. As they do every single time, except of course at the Gabba last September.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Firstly well done to the Tiges, gave a us a whipping in the wet. Genuine question re: umpiring and chaos ball. There were several times I saw hack kicks used (predominantly Richmond, and indicitive of the playing style they've ushered in) where I think dangerous play should have been called given a player with hands nearly on the ball.

Not sure what others think, personally I think the guy with his head over the ball should be rewarded vs the swinging leg. Thoughts?

PS not saying we weren't favoured tonight, just a general question re: the way the game is trending.

Um hes not commentating. Pretty sure Basil and Nate Jones is.

My bad... Apologies to Pav. I was watching on Kayo and probably got a bit confused with the switches between the 7 team (Basil, Jones) and Pavlich doing his stuff for Fox Footy during the breaks.

But my point still stands.. Nathan Jones was utterly useless tonight as a special comments guy.

I just don't understand how Channel 7 can spend so much money on the TV rights and then ruin every telecast with a bunch of idiot commentators who talk-talk-talk... they never shut up, but they actually say nothing.

Yeh, but the alternative in this situation is not contesting the ball at all. If he doesn't turn to brace last second it ends up being head to head clash or front chest to head.

 

[chriso11]

Well I am gutted with any narrow Freo loss.

Saying that, congratulations to tigers for winning.

They made use of the ball and made less mistakes too.

Felt like the intensity of the game was super high… entertaining contest. I thought freo would run over the top in the last but pleased the Tiges were able to grind out the last 10 mins with some smart play

 

[benji21]

Awful awful game.plan

Good rebuttal.

Agree, thought you guys were hard done by and should have got another 10 or so frees.

 

[benji21]

Yep, the price of being second to the ball. Players should know by now.

 

[chriso11]

Mate your era is over just accept it already

Yours never started bro

there was one clear one that should have been a free to freo (maybe dusty or balta airshot out of the backline?) imo but the others I thought were in line with how they usually umpire it.
But it was more the soft touch one way frees not paid back the other way for the whole first three quarters that stood out.

Lots of hacking but didn't see anything I thought was overly dangerous tbh.

 

[Tony Harrison]

I get it, but you don't know if you'll be first or second when it is that close until it happens.

 

[Black Saab]

It seems contested footy and even tackling are under increasing threat of growing levels of new types of interpretation. Not to mention HTB and push in the back are already highly endangered species.

 

[dean33]

Mate your era is over just accept it already

How many decades since your last finals victory?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Good rebuttal.

It's actually a common trait of coaches in their 3rd year +

They feel like they need to control the game like it's chess and slowly strangle the initiative from the players because essentially they don't trust them
What is illuminating however is despite this desire to manically control, when the game is good as gone they let the shackles go and invariably the team plays well.

This isn't a jab at your club as it seems to be the arc of a lot of coaches

Having said that, this game was lost because of the coaching

 

[Randomizor]

No, if there is insufficient evidence to say it hit the post or didn’t hit the post you go with the umpires call. As they do every single time, except of course at the Gabba last September.

You mean when the ARC used simple geometry and got the definitive 100% objectively correct outcome?

 

[tigs2010]

This would've been a closer game if Richmond didn't get the frees that they received

Would have won by an extra goal if we didn’t get one of them actually
