Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 11 - Walyalup (Freo) v Pies Fri May 24th 6:10pm WST/8:10pm AEST (OS)

[Achin joints]

Despite the goal for us ,I just can't like umpiring decisions like that .It's an absolute blight on the game

 

[MadMundy]

Horrible take

Grown adults don't throw tantrums over the umpires mate, complaining about umpires is just a lack of maturity.

 

[doppleganger]

18.13(b) does not apply.

If it were to apply, then 18.13(a) would apply as well any time a player throws a ball at the umpire. It’s just s**t umpiring by a s**t umpire. Simple as that.

Absolutely spot on.

That can't be the rule he is enforcing, laughable if it is.

 

[SuperSub17]

Pies fans claiming that the umpires lost them the game but Collingwood won the free kick count.

Anyone who measures the standard of umpiring by the free kick count should have their account cancelled.

 

[VicBased]

That Sullivan free against is the most ridiculous piece of s**t umpiring I’ve ever seen in 45 years of watching this game.

what an imbecile

It's in the rules. No time wasting.

 

[SSwans2011]

Fremantle are bad. That last 5 minutes is how they should have been playing the entire game. So the result of this game indicates Fremantle's issues are mental. They have the personnel to play good, competitive football. No energy and not trying to win for nearly the entire game. Embarrassing team.

Yeah, questions need to be asked of Longmuir based on the fact that they tried to slow it down when they had momentum with 3 whole damn minutes left in the second quarter. One of the most bewildering things I've seen in footy. Awful negative football.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

As I've said to my own fellow Freo supporters when they've complained, I pass it onto the Collingwood sooks

Complaining about the umpires is for piss weak individuals who can't hold their players accountable and can't accept their team wasn't good enough to get the win.

We had 6 players who played under 10 games, 2 players on debut. We had two key position players injured during the game. It was a bloody miracle we were in front at all. If Fremantle couldn't win this game at home with everything on your terms, you are going nowhere. Your club is a nothing club - it always has been.

 

[Redgum]

What about the BS free kick against Amiss with Collingwood getting a cheap goal

 

[cactuscall]

18.13(b)

If anything it's 18.13(d) engages in time wasting.

18.13(b) has to refer to handing the ball to another player during run of play. It may need to be reworded just to avoid even unwarranted confusion.

 

[Shane Heard]

It's in the rules. No time wasting.

Turn it up ffs

 

[Elixuh]

You said if he kicked a point we would have won. He did.

You said he’s a spud, I pointed out his current return this season is on par with your CHF on a big/expensive deal.

Take your L bro and go to bed.

I’m sure Shultzy will build into the season, maybe 2 behinds next week! That’ll be twice as much contribution!

What the hell is this, a club supporter who’s unbiased?

You okay mate?

It’s a shit rule if you ask me but apparently technically there? Dunno.

You wouldn’t have got that softie against Carlton that’s for sure.

 

[Mr Meow]

It's in the rules. No time wasting.

At the end of the day every time a player doesn't hand the ball back to where it should go (opposition player or umpire) immediately they are taking a gamble and "gaming" the system. 95% of the time you'll get away with it. But do you risk it 20m in front of an opposition goal when they are making a late comeback? Silly decision. By the player.

 

[SSwans2011]

First sensible thing he came out with all night mind you.

He's so noticeably scared of pissing off BT. Always backs down when BT disagrees with him about something. Hodge is the only one that stands up to the toxic flog.

It's the coach!

The poor man's Ross Lyon.

An ultra defensive game plan without pressure/intensity.

If you watch the second qtr, it encapsulates why they can't win the flag. They had a counter attack opportunity down their right flank with two minutes to go. Instead. they time wasted and limped into the dressing room.

I wish their season ends soon so the coach will be sacked.

 

[MKMatty]

Maybe I just missed it, but I had a look at the laws of the game and couldn't find anything about handing the ball directly to the umpire for a ball-up.

There is a rule about ignoring the umpires direction that can result in a free kick. Earlier in the game Nicholls gave the warning to hand the ball directly to him or he’d pay a free, and he held his word.

Costly? Yes. But it was there.

 

[raffrox]

Surely not if you’ve potentially made up your own rule as you’re going. That’s a hard one to bat for.

The ump that gave the 50 m for dissent against Clark was dropped for weeks. Nichols might disappear for while but that's about it.

I don't disagree mate, so I don't know what you were looking for, but hey, your fellow supporters have given me a good laugh tonight with their carry on.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Interesting situation. The rule is clear: 18.13 (b). But the vibe is not , I wish that umpire was there when Ramped climbed the goal post. The AFL needs to make a definitive statement on how they want the game officiated

That’s not correct. 18.13(b) is referring to general play where you can’t hand the ball to a team mate - which is akin to throwing the ball to a teammate.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

He's so noticeably scared of pissing off BT. Always backs down when BT disagrees with him about something. Hodge is the only one that stands up to the toxic flog.

Unfortunately I can’t take a word that comes out of Hodge’s mouth seriously. Has a huge chip on his shoulder when it comes to the Pies.

 

[VicBased]

Turn it up ffs

Well there you go .

Build into the season, would you know anything about that Fages?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

18.13(b)

Can people stop quoting that rule. That is not correct.

[cactuscall]

Problem with (d) is that the clock was stopped as soon as the whistle was blown. Paying a free kick for that when the clock is stopped is even more riridiculous.

To be fair it doesn't need to be winding down the clock. Holding up play can suit your team in other ways, to set up and get into position etc.

Just playing devils advocate here.
