EF GameDay Thread vs Crows

[DeZi]

Rutten gone for head high hit on MCarthy?

Not if the MRP are like the umps today...they might even give him a financial reward for taking a hit on his shoulder

 

[Moo]

is it just me or are the umpiring decisions as weak as piss, i hav counted four fee kicks round the neck for them that hav been given and i hav seen three around the necks for us that havent been given... makes u think

As a neutral - you guys were screwed by the umpiring in the 2nd Q.

He appeared to me to have said "WTF?". I can't read lips but that's my best guess.

Yeah, that's what he said. Looked a goal to me too.

 

[JOELY]

Scoring end!

**** yeeehhhh boyysss equallll

 

[Smoky]

This free kick situation is absolutely getting out of hand. If we win this it will be just about our greatest win of the year.

No advantage calls when its clearly our advantage, head highs only going one way, goals called as points, tackle a player with the ball who "drops it" paid holding! This is laughable.

Its actually making me feel alot more confident seeing these happenings just all look completely fixed... yet scores are level!

Fu****g C'MON PIES!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

McCarthy is trying for the worst free kick differential in the league this year. Cannot take a trick.

Pies to go level with a Cloke goal.

 

[Smoky]

Can anyone tell me where to get the stats from... as it appears AFL gameday are in on all of this!

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

Dddaaaaawwwweeeesssssss!!!!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Dawesome!

 

[Heater39]

Dawes!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bloben]

Quite fortunate to get paid the mark there but I also think the kick to Thomas was 15

 

[Bloben]

Thank you umpires

 

[Moo]

...and the umpiring pendulum swings.

 

[DeZi]

And so does Clokes kick

 

[The Royal Sampler]

...and the umpiring pendulum swings.

Had to happen sometime, when it's so one-sided so early in the match.

Against the Lions in Rd 2 it was just one-sided in the last quarter, there wasn't time for the corrections.

 

[Bloben]

Great team goal...

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

LEON! Awesome tackle.

 

[DeZi]

DAVISSSS....Awesome work runnin....but clear handball

 

[Bloben]

Thank you again umpires... that was a handball

 

[DeZi]

Hit the post so I guess it goes some way to make up for the Medders Goal/Point

 

[JOELY]

thats a freaking shocking decision. lol.

oh leon. that would have made it tough for adelaide, even though there's a fair bit to go. We're looking dangerous now.

 

[DeZi]

Tarksssss!!!!!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Isn't that the point of "prior opportunity" though? He had an opportunity to dispose of the ball prior to Davis making an effective tackle. Clear free kick to me. If you take possession of the ball and run for 10m and then are tackled, too bad.

The umpire should only be concerned about what a player does after the tackle is laid, if they didn't have "prior opportunity" to dispose of the ball before being tackled.

 

[Bloben]

This certainly is a game of four quarters!

Great kick Tarks
