Wow, let it go Pies..
I'm sure there was 10 other decisions either way that were wrong too..
We won this time, and should have smashed you really if our forwards had of converted properly. We wouldnt be talking about this decision then.
Also, there was a couple of minutes left on the clock after that decision i'm pretty sure, so why are you guys saying you would have won had the goal been allowed? You think we couldn't score in that time?
The worse decision was the non free kick to Hawkins for front on contact by Toovey (and the fact he was hurt has nothing to do with it), he took his eyes off the ball coming front on into Hawkins which is a free kick every day of the week... That would have been a pretty good chance at goal for us?
How about play going on because you guys let Toovey lay on the turf for a chance at a goal then when we get the ball coming through the middle you call for the stretcher.. Would we have been a chance at a goal then?
To say that decision is what cost you the game is utter crap. You got outplayed fair and square, thats not saying we will do it next time, but you have been shown to be beatable, not the untouchables you all thought you were.
 
Yes it was incorrect, so were alot of other decisions during the night. Cats deserved to win however innacurate kicking almost (and should have) cost them the game.

True, but I think the AFL need to do something about the advantage rule, because clearly most umpires simply do not know how to officiate the rule properly.

Simply put, the easy way to fix this problem is to make the time on/off signal by the umpire flexible.

Last night, the umpire called the ball back, not because he didn't think Pendles had the right to play on, not because he thought the play wasn't continuous, but because he had already called time off, and therefore, under the rules had to call it back.

So to solve all these problems, allow the umpires and timekeepers more flexibility with the time on/off ruling, if an umpire calls time off, then sees a clear advantage should have been paid, PAY IT, then add the 2 seconds (approximately) lost by the time off signal back onto the clock at the next dead ball segment.

Oh wait, that's common sense, the AFL doesn't believe in that.;)

(And yes, Geelong deserved to win, but if Pendles gets awarded that goal, and we win, we would have got the 4 points, barring a Geelong response, because that's football, the team in front at the end of the game gets the 4 points, not the team that deserves it).

Please. The op lunatic doesn't represent us. Good that they acknowledge their mistake. Better if they do something about it to not happen again. But I don't want or think the result should be reversed.

Had it been a gf however... ;)

The easy way to solve the advantage rule issue is to do it like every other sport in the world that has an advantage rule - umpires don't blow the whistle until it is clear there is no advantage available. From the moment you start playing sport as a kid you are told to stop when you hear the whistle and yet in football you have to quickly work out if the umpires decision is a free kick to your team or not and then if it's a kick to your team, with the new interpretation, you have to work out whether to take the advantage or not.

If it's good enough for soccer, hockey, rugby, netball, water polo etc then surely it's good enough for football - but then again that would require common sense to be used!?!

Wow!! The Trengrove sulking is beginning to look minor. Probably could've been left to the llllooonnnggg cry thread on the Collingwood board.

Geez I love the main board- everyone's saying the decision was correct means we're sulking, AFL admits it was wrong means we're still sulking, Toovey caves his face on Hawkins knee means he was stupid and we were lucky not to have a free paid against us, Didak gets tripped by Stokes thread ends up being a discussion about Didak being a diver.

Keep it up minnows :thumbsu:
 
Whether or not Geelong or Collingwood won or lost by 3 points is pretty moot in the discussion over a blatant error.

A round 8 game is pretty unimportant in the scheme of things for two sides who were sharing top spot.
Not trying to diminish Geelongs win, in fact they should have won by more.
The point is the AFL have admitted the ump got it wrong (one got it right and the other over-ruled him).

If this kind of confusion is as prevalent as it appears to be then the rule needs to be simplified, which I honestly thought was the case.
Originally we were all told that if a player from the side infringed, taking a mark etc. decides to continue the play then it is automatically advantage and play on even if this leads to no advantage.
The umps have confused the situation by proving this is not the case and continue to second guess the players and immediate future events.
Umpires have more than enough on their plate interpreting what has happened let alone what may happen.
