Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 8 - North v Saints Sun May 7th 4:40pm AEST (Marvel)

[dees arent rabble]

Saints.
Worst top 8 side in history.
Even worse than Carlton

 

[Some Idiot]

The umpire literally just paid that because the Saints players asked him too. Didn’t even know what was said. Gutless then not explaining what it’s for.

Perhaps it was so offensive that the umpire didn't want to repeat it

 

[dees arent rabble]

It's like a car crash.
I can't look away

Maybe he suggested the umpire should watch the replay of this game.

Gotta stamp out that kind of abuse.

The Saints players said “he did X”, the umpire then paid the 50 and would not explain what it was for. Diabolically bad officiating. The very least you are required to do is explain your decisions.

Gee the Melbourne supporters in here are chirpy! They must have realized that falling over the line against golf coast is proof that we will win 2 premierships before they win another one.

The umpire doesn’t have to explain anything

The umpire doesn’t have to explain anything

Absolutely he does

 

[Chuckie357]

Absolutely he does

Find me the rule

 

[Magma]

resistible force vs movable object

 

[Engimal v3]

The umpire doesn’t have to explain anything

All of a sudden Saints fans love umpires lol

 

[A Swallow]

Yes they do. It is their job to pay free kicks, and they need to have a reason they did so. Our sport is the only one in the world that the umpires are so precious that they don’t even have a civil conversation with a player about a decision. It is f*cking embarrassing.

 

[Some Idiot]

Depending on the nature of what was done/said he has no reason to explain it if Simpkin was just playing dumb

Instead of whinging about something that doesn’t matter, find the rule to back up your claim

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Good goal by Stephenson.

 

[Engimal v3]

Umpiring a bit comical at this point

You think the fact that players can’t even ask for an explanation is reasonable? Tell me one other sport where that is not allowed.

 

[A Swallow]

That’s awful from Corr. Zero composure.

 

[projectv]

That was some mark from Philippou.

 

[Engimal v3]

Gary Lyon is probably my least favourite commentator.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Plugger has been quiet

 

[Plugger35]

Phillipou showing shades of Trevor Barker with that mark.

One of the few highlights of this game.

 

[Chuckie357]

This game may be proof Ross Lyon can’t adapt and can’t play proactive attacking footy. This should be close to a 100 point win if they were actually serious about contending. St Kilda have made a mistake appointing him

 

[Chuckie357]

If Van Rooyen got looked at then that at least should

 

[dees arent rabble]

Gary Lyon is probably my least favourite commentator.

Dermott is worse
