Or St. Kilda 20-0 in 2009.

We're they?

St. Kilda and Geelong were both 13-0 in 2009 when they met in round 14. The Saints won, but the Cats got the ultimate revenge in the grand final.

 

[RossFC]

Hopefully never.

Orazio cleverly baited a dog into stepping clearly off the mark and Orazio went to jog off on his 50m penalty when the ump called out no. Raz was clearly shocked that the ump, who was watching the player didn’t call it.

Seems to becoming a bit of habit Orazio doing that now... Not a real fan of it TBH

And with all his ******* about trying to milk it, the opposition gets a free extra ten seconds to set up defensively.

Idiot.

We knew this stuff before he came over to be fair

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol why are we mad at Orazio because a dickhead umpire didn't pay him a clear and obvious 50?

Havent had a chance to check but had the umpire called stand? Because if the umpire never calls stand he cant call a 50.

I can’t recall but the umpire had plenty of time to call stand (the defender was immediately on the mark right on razs heels) and if he didn’t call stand that just makes the non call even worse.

That's what we were saying at the game, it didn't look like he called for the player to stand until after he moved off the mark. Felt very much like it was giving them time to get back.

I’ve always said what this already over-complicated game with its jumble of ever-changing rules needs, is more subjectivity!

Or the umpire is just horrifically bad at his job.

Mark taken. Forgot to call stand. And when the bulldogs player went, he remembered 'oh whoops I forgot to say stand' then said 'not a 50, okay, now stand'.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Was it a Geelong player on Friday night who moved on the mark after the ump called stand and no 50 was paid?

It was so obvious even the 7 commentators called it out.

well technically it was a free kick that should been paid. So what he did was correct.

It’s just another rubbish rule to allow the AFL to award
Momentum free kicks when they want

When you accept that the real aim of the AFL Rules Committee is 'greyness', it all makes much more sense.

This is most likely the right answer. The one that Charlie got pinged for last week the umpire called play on then gave the 50.

 

[Waspy79]

Did we appeal the Jonas fine farce?

 

[Jojay]

Lol croms incoming

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lol Graham Cornes - I've never been one to laud honorable losses but crows this weekend ...

 

[PowerBaz]

The stand rule has been loosened or maybe umpires just doing what’s more natural like the players are doing.

Noticed the feel good crap for Crows is huge lately, wheel out Graham some more.... maybe Kerls can speak soon?
