Sorry Jeremy

Unreservedly. From the AFL and all 18 clubs. We’re sorry for not standing with you and saying GTFO of here, that is a mark and has been so for over a century.

Discuss.
 
And Howe still received a stiffer penalty for taking that mark, than what Zorko did for clocking someone behind play when they weren’t looking.

IF he Gets Suspended that I give up on the AFL

Everyone needs to calm down

Special AFL Rule:

  • Jeremy Howe is NOT allowed to win mark of the year



(Unbelievably rubbish nonsense decision)

What, has he been reported for that??? For taking a mark??!!

Alex jesaulenko would turn in his grave, if he was dead yet
No.

A free kick only. Zorko got a fine, which hurts the team not at all.
 
The AFL is making a ucking mess of our great game. Those in charge are there as custodians to nurture the game. Instead they’re destroying its very fabric.

If they don’t stand the ump down, they deserve to stand themselves down.

I suppose the question is whether today's over-reaction by the umpires is worse than the over-reaction by the AFL last year in making a new rule..... as far as I remember if you put a boot in the head of an opponent like Greene did last year, you could easily call it high contact. In fact, today you could call Howe's boot in the back as push in the back.... so free kicks without making a new rule...

An inexperienced umpire (I think it was Alex Whetton) made a dumb mistake. It happens often. It's been happening forever and a day, and it's just the way it is with humans making decisions! He'll probably get dropped because it was such a bad mistake.

No-one's destroying the game. The game is just fine, and the competition is in fantastic shape. I think we're seeing one of the best years of football I can remember, so a simple umpiring error won't be spoiling my day!!

True but was lot more today then have been rest of the Season
I think I just look at umpiring differently to how you (and a lot of other people) must look at it, Dave. I have the attitude that "you win some, you lose some". I almost never let it bother me. Besides, it's not like the Howe decision today (or any of the others) cost us the game!

Not cost us a game?

WTF has that got to do with anything???

The decision was glaringly wrong - pathetically so - partly the fault of too literal an interpretation from a fool but mostly the fault of an interferring and totally inept AFL rules committee who wouldn't know how to write a simple, non derivative rules if their lives depended on it.

It doesn't matter if the free leads to anything or not, wrong is wrong and it's happening far too often.

The Howe one last week is one of the worst I've seen.

By the way. How ****ing good are De Goey and Stephenson.

I'd add Sier to that.

Plus Moore who today didnt have his best day. And Grundy of course. We have some of the best young players in the AFL and our medium term future looks great.
