The AFL has admitted their interchange steward F'd up

[TheGoatBaron]

Okay troll off you go, fair dinkum you and your Norf mates are pathetic

100% agree champ.

Except for DanRoo, he isn't pathetic. He doesn't keep on harping about the 19th man bullshit.

Am i the only one who has found this whole 'controversy' to be very boring. The fact is that our midfield was completely outclassed again and the umpiring decision had nothing to do with with why we lost.

When the pressure was on, we werent good enough against another top 8 team - as has repeatedly been the case since 2007.

Crap, no one has said it cost us the game, but it didn't help

I don't think there have been many of us claiming it cost us the match, that's not what this is about.

This is about a massive stuff up that could have been sorted by a fat bloke getting off his arse when informed he stuffed up, walking over and counting and then withdrawing his call.

This is about the fact it took the AFL 3 days to find out the facts when most of us had a fair idea within minutes it was a stuff up.

This is about the AFL being dismissive and saying we think we are right but i guess we will investigate.

This is about the AFL hiding an admission of fault and apology as a 5th item on a memo to the media.

This is about no consequence in terms of a goal being removed from a score when, due to the piece of play being uninterrupted, the score could easily be ammended. All this despite us being hit with a fine for tens of thousands of dollars for making a mistake.

This is what it is about.

I can only imagine how excited the AFL administration was when the news about Bin Laden broke. What a perfect way to sweep this stuff up under the carpet without many noticing. I only wonder had this story not broken when it did, whether the investigation would have been strung out in the hope a big story could take the focus.

I understand all that, but i still say that it had nothing to do with the result of the game and nothing to do with how we will play next week.

Umpiring decisions are swings and roundabouts, who cares ... Thankfully, this one had no impact on the result ... we would have lost anyway.

Think it's time to move on.

Just like the Swans win against Essendon this year.

Essendons supporters must have a record for longest sook over a single game in afl history

Essendon supporters have EXTREMELY short memories. Too bad you weren't as 'outraged' during that little incident, hey?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

But that was just an umpires error, even though the umpire was right there, hey Bomber fans?

 

[grimlock]

We had 7 on the bench !

And Jesse White was the 'fifth man' on the bench according to the Giesch when they finally did do a count... poor guy can't stay out of trouble.
