In late breaking news, AFL head honcho Andy Demetriou emerged from emergency talks at AFL House late this evening to announce the AFL was going to reverse the Stenglein decision and would re-schedule the last 10 minutes of the game to be replayed.
Said Demetriou, "At first we thought is was the typical sore loser Swans fans who were bleating about the umpire's decision and who were otherwise not complaining about the 300 other mistakes made by their players which contributed more to the loss than even their pathetic flooding style of footy."
"However, the bigfooty mods advised us it wasnt just Swans fans that were bleating but non Swans fans as well on the bigfooty forums. When we heard that we hastily convened a meeting because THAT makes it all different doesn't it, after all, they weren't hoping for the Eagles to lose were they?"
"One decision appears to have cost the Swans the game and not the 100 other minutes of footy that was played. Make sense to me." said Demetriou as he announced that the last 10 minutes would be played at the SCG with Paul Roos as umpire and Diego as his chum so to speak "so we get more unbiased decision making in the game", he said.
Meanwhile John Worsfold was now considering appealing the goal umpiring decision made in the 1990 QF awarding Peter Sumich a point to draw the game. Worsfold said Sumich in fact scored a goal and further, he also claimed "the majority of footy fans at the time concurred making it true." He said that would make a difference as well.
The AFL will be treating that appeal with the same seriousness it should attach to the Sydney bleating.
