North Robbed

[Macca19]

You're supposed to be a moderator aren't you?

Grow up FFS. Way to set an example.

So being a moderator means im not allowed an opinion.

Nice one

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

No this wasn't free that was paid, it was when Selwood was on the ground that the 2nd tackle came in and hit him high. You can hear the ump explain it.

 

[Forward Press]

What was the free kick count?

It may be relevant ...

21-17 to the Eagles.

 

[fishardansin]

You all know what you saw.

It's getting beyond farcical.

If we're not careful we will lose our game.

See this people?

Surely it all stems back to board decisions from Essendon in the 1920s.

 

[Kangapirate]

So was the free for the initial tackle or Swallow supposedly coming in over the top? Based on the footage their is no "second one"

 

[Forward Press]

im still undecided whether north got robbed, i'll have to wait to see Brad Scott to make a decision.

Brad Scott to his credit didn't talk about the umps and lamented how his side didn't put away the Eagles when they had the chance.

 

[Simple Jack]

this isnt ducking my friend and will always be paid until they change the rules. In the old days they used to tackle low, so maybe thats what you mean by its been play on for 100+ years?

Except for the very instance you've provided a still of.

 

[Astro Bomber]

Have to say I thought the free kick to Selwood was there.

However on the touched call, it obviously wasnt touched, but it was called early enough by the umpy.

Can someone explain to me what Thomas was doing annoying the NM player who marked it deep in their fwd line and was lining up for goals?

Same here. If I was Scott I would have been angry at him hanging around for a cheap kick and putting the goal kicker off.

 

[Bigeasy]

Was going for north but that decision was worth it to see the hissy fit from Scott.

The two twins are like children, always acting like everything is against them. I like that they are outspoken but every other coach keeps their cool (relatively) when the inevitable bad calls go against them.

Its petulant, pathetic, childish and a bad image for kids.

You're right, he should have just punched a hole in the wall. That's much better image for the kids.

Adams made the second contact. His initial contact was OK, his arm fell loose and he wrapped him up over his shoulder again whilst on the ground I suspect.

was bound to happen anyway.. when your team is up and defending, the opposition will come at you. Just like bartel and like selwood tonight pressure ****s you.

the boomer to black touched call and the hold on thompson on the wing were revolting
cant change the result anyway

 

[wian]

West Coast are one of the biggest charity clubs in the AFL ! Flukey Bastards ! Makes me sick !

 

[saladodger]

McGuire, Brereton and Maclure are currently watching the slo mo replay and have their eyes rolling around in their heads.

They can't believe what they are seeing.

You should write a letter to Papa Andy about this disgrace
How could they sing there song after a win like that??
The game we once knew is drifting away, you guys are the only true footy fans left

Yep, there were some awful calls tonight, won't get any argument from me.

 

[Alesana]

The game was not fixed, your team simply was not good enough.

Keep blaming the umps though. I'm sure if you cry enough, the umps will give the four points back.

I'm loving every drop of these tears.

Most of your frees against were for high contact and infringing in the marking contest. That can happen when your defenders are undersized and your mids are second to the footy.

 

[Super Hans]

If anyone can get in contact with Teffy tell him to flick me a private message when he can. Would love a jar of his tears.

 

[Saint Henrik]

The North tears taste so sweet, bigfooty actually in meltdown is a beautiful thing

hail hail

 

[CakeEater]

Same here. If I was Scott I would have been angry at him hanging around for a cheap kick and putting the goal kicker off.

He even got told off by the umpy twice (Nicholls?) and still continued to seek the cheap kick.

 

[mediumsizered]

Why does the Selwood family always look like they are sitting in an armchair when they are being tackled? Is this where the phrase "armchair ride from the umps" comes from?

The tacklers have to start hurting these blokes who choose to bend their knees. A couple of knee injuries as a result of bent knees in a tackle may make this a less attractive option for players.

 

[Happy Daze]

The free wasn't paid for that.

Most of the posters here are discussing a free kick that wasn't actually paid, and the one that was actually paid just wasn't there. Awful, terrible mistake that cost a game.

 

[blaze036]

North totally deserve to have the umpires against them after all their staging

 

[manureid]

All these quotes from Norf posters makes tonight's result seem like a Christmas present. Who would have thought that sort of karma could come around so fast?

 

[betchsta]

But surely north would have won if the roof had been closed from the first bounce .

 

[Happy Daze]

North totally deserve to have the umpires against them after all their staging

The problem is now staging will be worse, given as it has been rewarded by a game winning goal.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

umpires board/forum. Mods do your job properly.

 

[Handyandy]

home town umpiring, ducking players are nothing new, deal with it north supporters. its not like west coast got 23 more free kicks or anything. (the selwoods brothers do piss me off too)
