we were s**t and deserved to lose...but for anyone who says this is a weird rule and shouldn’t be paid I’d argue that a bloke who gets a 50m pen then barrages into another bloke and gets a further 50m pen, well that is also a weird rule and shouldn’t be paid...good rules we have😂

Lol that would’ve been disgusting if they paid that and it decided the game (bad rule). Then again they got a goal from that ridiculous double 50 rule so maybe it would’ve been a form of justice

It was the correct decision not to pay a free kick. A free kick should be paid if he was deliberately shaking the post. Dane Rampe had no intention of shaking the post, his intention was to get higher in order to possible spoil a kick nearing that post at the goal line.

Essendon tears are delicious though.

Who cares about deserving to lose? That’s just a subjective measure. I’m happy to take a win we don’t deserve.

Your reasoning there is ridiculously flawed. Didn’t intend to shake it but he did

Whether the rule is dumb or not, the fact is that it is a rule. You can't shake the goal post before a player takes their kick. Rampe clearly shakes the goal post. Free kick from the top of the square. Essendon win.

When Jake ****ing Stringer has a better handle on the rules than the umpires, we have a problem.

Huh? Seriously? His intention was just to climb like a monkey up the goal post? Did you watch the footage? In what world is his pushing up movement not going to shake the post?

Lol at the posters saying it shouldn't be paid. Its the freaking rule. Should have been a free for the bombers in front of goal for a certain goal.

The rule involves intentions. If the umpire determines that Rampe was only trying to climb the post, not intentionally shake it, then they cannot award a free kick.
