'Dangerous tackle'

[scottywiper]

Lol. You muppet.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Still fuming about this. I actually wanted Wright to throw the mouth guard and give him a proper spray Doug Hawkins style

Conversation piece, howler decision, result was already decided. Nothing much to say.

The ump didn't know it was over.

 

[gokangas]

Just laughable. The AFL will say correct decision but this was a great example as to why so many people are over the game. Over umpired crap.

Lol. You muppet.

As has been the case this past decade the Unpire was possibly blind sided but paid a free kick based on ‘gut feel’ ??

It was just salt into the lobotomy that was last night IMO

 

[Gasometer]

Is there any footage?

 

[scottywiper]

Might have to ban tackles. It's all outcome based these days and if you tackle someone they might fall over, and might get hurt.
Wright should consider himself lucky the bloke didn't concuss himself, Sam would be sidelined for weeks for causing it.

Even tho it was essentially a dive where they guy dropped his head to the ground.

Outcomes. If Wright doesn't tackle it doesn't happen. #banthetackle #thinkofthechildren

The Port player tried to take on 3 opponents. When he realised he had no way out, he deliberately head-butted the turf well after Sam Wright had let him go. There was absolutely textbook care shown by Wright to avoid any sling motion. The Port player was entirely responsible for his head hitting the turf. He was playing for a free kick at that point. Umpire needs a week or two in the state leagues.

Can't blame blindsiding as it was an out of zone umpire.

You can if you are judging something you didn’t see based on a perception

The game is officiated by prosecution lawyers, not sports officials..

 

[Mav]

Any video?

The game is now officiated in anticipation of any lawsuit that may arise out of 'rough conduct'.

We need a draw to make the finals in round 23, scores are level and that free kick gets called, I’d be ******* ropeable if that cost the team a finals spot.

The club should ask for a please explain by the AFL and umpires.

 

[Zondor]

Any video?

Take my word. It was a Horseshit decision. :stern look

 

[75-77-96-99]

the funny thing is... the port player puts his hands up to stand the mark as he knows its incorrect disposal... he actually is miffed as to why he got the free

what an absolute joke.

 

[Twinkletoes]

It was the punchline of the night, causing me to throw my own hands in the air, mutter expletives and walk away from the telly. What a joke of a decision!

 

[Mav]

******* hell you guys are funny.

You’re all watching with the benefit of the TV. Can you not see the head bury into the ground?

I’m not saying it’s the right decision, but at real time and with no replay it’s pretty easy to understand how the ump made the mistake.

Deadset. Spare me. Thats an atrocious decision.

Did your misses run off with an ump or something?
