Rats are umpires' and media's love children.
AFL is dodgy and corrupt af.
AFL is dodgy and corrupt af.
The only thing as annoying as watching the umpires gift the cats an undeserved victory, is listening to Bruce add 'aye' to the end of his sentences.
"How about that, aye. I haven't seen a fisting like that since my last trip to sydney, outstanding effort...aye."

I would put money on there being specific rules about the umpire giving the 15 seconds warning, the move on warning, then play on... and zero specific rules about the shot clock.
Yet another stupid AFL gimmick which impacts on the game in a very forseen way.

I think it's 'eh' not 'aye'. Sorry to nitpick but as the son of a Scotsman there's only one way to pronounce 'aye' there laddy.

Devastating news for the two blokes in that Subway pulled pork ad.
By the sounds of it Geelong gifted another win. Hardly a mention in the media. No doubt it will be glossed over by the AFL as it has for the past 10 years. I would love to know how many umpires other than that corrupt oxygen thief dog turd licking POS McBurney that are on Geelong pay roll.
My Grandmother was Scottish, I remember her sister coming over to Australia while I was in my early teens and being told that I was wonderful da boot!

I dinnnae ken that!
Needed her sister to translate what my grandmother was saying. Only time I actually knew what she was saying. I suppose you get that with half Scottish and half Australian dialect!
I can't find the shot clock rule anywhere in the rules, l may have missed it but if l haven't how can that be?
Must be an afl hidden rule gem to cover their collective executive fat cat backsides. l would also like to know
when the clock starts and the umpire should be near the mark in front of the kicker so if he is not heard he can
at least be seen to be calling 15 seconds or play on. Someone find the rule.
Why aren't the umpires held to account like the players?
The whistle blowers segment of the AFL site is a joke, and the AFL media is even worse. The headline saying that both coaches agreed that the Dixon play on decision was correct is a joke. What could Hinkley say without feeling the wrath of the AFL coming down on him, not to mention a massive fine.
There will never be transparency in any sections of the AFL, they can't allow criticism as that would expose their many faults.
I do not like Port Adelaide, but the umpiring effort cost them 4 premiership points.

The dixon decision was simply not on the spirit of the game, whether it was a correct decision or not is irrelevant. Once a player starts walking in i thought the shot clock becomes redundant. Clearly he was walking in as the ump called play on. Thats just not right. What happened to blowing time off so the player can take as long as he wants? Another bullshit gimmick from the afl to please their sponsors.

It gets worrying when we even have Barrett sympathizing with one of our players. 
From SLIDING DOORS:
"If you're getting the ball 50 times in a match ... then ... you're pretty special. Stop the questioning of Mitchell."

This post almost deserves an IP ban.Get 35 disposals and look good doing it, even if you can't kick. That's how you win a Brownlow, right?
(If you don't believe me, look at the past seven winners - Judd, Swan, Watson*, Ablett, Priddis, Fyfe, Dangerfield.)

No, at 8 seconds...

I heard on the radio this morning that the person that controls the shot clock is not from the AFL but supplied by the stadium. Draw your own conclusions
The volume of holding players and throwing/dropping the ball was insane at times yesterday. Hell, Robbie Gray should have gotten a few free kicks in the last few minutes alone. Amazing that 3 umpires can't do something about it tbh.

He started it a few years ago... drives me nuts too !!
The fact that theee umpires couldn't pay a 50 to Bruest last week highlights their incredible incompetence.
Of course the media haven't focused on that because it was indefensible.
Anyone learning a living in the AFL industry knows they cannot afford to tell the truth or they will be ostracized like Grant Thomas.
Corruption reigns supreme.

The guy that hangs around the pie stand at North games has a decent mid
I remember when the great Scum coach Injecting Jimmy Hird, said that Scott MacClaren didn't look after his side. The $10 000 fine soon turned into the $10 000 bribe. It was a joke.

I haven't been following the news this week. What was the umpire review of this error? It came at an important time in the game as it could have been a last gasp momentum swinger for us. I assume post game that Clarko had something to say?
