Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 8 - Blues v Pies Fri May 3rd 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

[Chief]

Right: Unless it's a bad one against Carlton, I don't wanna hear constant whinging about umpiring from you lot!

 

[YeoShuey]

Ferals are complaining about a clear non HTB call.

 

[FreoRicci]

Cripps lucky to get away with that one?
no he handballed it

When?
He’s on the ground by the time he’s even hand-balling it.

 

[Plugger35]

I thought that was a bad missed HTB on Cripps but he got a handball away.

The Pies supporters booing wouldn't have seen that though.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Cripps lucky to get away with that one?
no he handballed it

No he didn't. He threw it and punched it.

That ain't a handball.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

never seen a more blatant holding the ball than that. wtf!

There would be dozens every game

 

[CakeEater]

How is that not ball???

Hes almost as protected species as Emu Export in a country pub.

 

[Worm4]

That is ******* ball, Jesus.

But he handballed it away in the tackle ?

 

[Chaisa]

Ferals are complaining about a clear non HTB call.

TBF live it looked really rotten. Very good umpiring to spot the fist, though he did get a really long time to dispose of it.

 

[FreoRicci]

Ferals are complaining about a clear non HTB call.

Except it was clear HTB.
Cripps just gets away with holding on

 

[Carringbush2010]

Pies pressure is good but no avail

 

[TW Sherrin]

I thought that was bad missed HTB on Cripps but he got a handball away.

Another who doesn't know the rules. It's a throw.

 

[Beerfish]

Here they come!!!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Play on. Good call umpire.
Got the handball off.

 

[The 747]

What a legendary start to a career.

 

[Mr Meow]

Here's an idea for all the umpiring whingers:

Try watching the game without focusing on every umpiring decision
Watch the players involved in the contest... Also watch the players on the periphery of the contest.
This is real action of the game. Not the umpiring.

Go on... Just try it for once in your lives. You'll enjoy the game much more.

A purist is among us! But yeah I agree.

Sidenote: Elliot was great there.

The fist was by the time he’s on the ground. It’s HTB. No need to be technical about it. Had seconds to dispose of it

 

[catstorm]

But he handballed it away in the tackle ?

No Cripps threw it up with one hand and hit it while not in control.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Except it was clear HTB.
Cripps just gets away with holding on

No it wasn't, clearly got a handball away.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Haha, how good is that? Legend.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Anyone know how old Sullivan is?

he just did but still reckon it was holding the ball

 

[Mr Meow]

Cox just made Young look like.....Young!

[Chuckie357]

What a w***er. Wouldn’t have marked that if he didn’t have a glove on
