Not that it mattered a great deal scoreboard wise in the closing stages of the saints game That flea Milne marked the ball in the goals square played on Josh Hunt tackled hi m and he dropped it. The most blatantly obvious free kick ive seen and the umpire didn't call it. Saints got allot of frees they shouldn't have after half time but we couldn't even get a dead obvious one that contributed to the defeat.
 
I haven't seen the footage yet (only live at the game) but did anyone hear what the umpire said?

It was one of the most unbelievable decisions I've ever seen. How could you justify a ball up?
 
Wait till you haven't won a premiership since 66 and you play in a close grandfinal and the opposition slams the ball into the goal post and it gets called a goal.
Dont worry guys they will put the whistle away in the granny and you''ll be right.

You're joking. He took the mark and played on. I don't blame Hunt for showing his frustration after that. The rest of the night that sort of stuff was not on, but considering the game was over that must have felt like salt in the wound.

Let's do some basic maths.

We beat St. Kilda by 12 points. A goal equals 6 points.

Had that not been called a goal, we would not have scored 6 points. However, we would have still scored 1 point.

Which means the equation looks something like.

12-5 = 7

So, apparrentley being 7 points in front of your opponent at full time constitutes a loss.

Not really. If a point was paid it would've been a kick-out rather than a centre bounce so the game would've been completely different.

You need to learn the difference between whinging that the umpires impacted your team's chances, and rightfully venting frustration that the suppossed law enforcers of our game don't know the laws.

Milne's was the last kick of the game; I would be as filthy and disgusted at the decision if it happened to any of the other 15 teams in the comp at any stage of a game, at any stage of a year.

It was not a matter of interpretation: if you have a free kick and you play on and are tackled and either drop the ball or hold onto it, it is a free kick. Having a free possession constitutes as prior oportunity.

If our umpires cannot get black and white rules right, how can we expect them to vaguely get 5% of the interpretatitve decisions right.

Pull your head in, dick.

People gotta stop conveniently forgetting that Darren Milburn gave St Kilda the goal back anyway..

Don't you love how Grand Final folklore evolves over time?

Harmes was in Row Q of the stand when he knocked the ball back in to play 1979 too! :p

Dont really care, that decision was well into junk time and wasn't going to make one jot of difference.

We were the ones that put the shocker in, not the umpires.

We certainly had a shocker. But so did the umpires. If an independent commentator and former umpire coach (Director of Umpiring in today's parlance) in David Parkin sees it that way who are we to argue.;)

Good thing we won by more than six point ****stick.
 
It was the worst decision on the night, definitely some hard decisions too though all night. The weather was terrible, and guys were throwing themselves at the contest. Very tough to make good decisions.

I do have to say though, the decision to call play on, implying opportunity was made. How it is not holding the ball if he is tackled fairly, is amazing.

The umps on Friday were a little pretencious. We go to watch the game not the umps. Get over it you princesses.

i thought mooney being called for 'frontal contact' when he was running straight at the ball as a full forward and two saints ran back with the flight and collided with him was a worse call to be honest...

I know.. everyone remembers the Hawkins post-er, but everyone seems to forget the gift the Umpires gave to St Kilda - a double goal? WTF was with that call.

Laughable decision (one of many). The commentary from Mooney summed it up. "I was going for the ball. He backed into the contest"
The frontal contact decision is ALWAYS where the offender runs with flight of the ball into the leading forward, not the other way round.

A liittle? Hearing the umps talk was like listening to that egotistical shit Brereton on radio. They showed little respect for the players around them and displayed a lack of understanding of the rules on many occasions and failed to control the game when Baker & SJ started to get into one another.
If thats the best the umpires can put up for the grand final replay the game is in trouble.

It was hilarious hearing the umpire telling Moons to calm down after that too. Maybe he wouldn't have been so riled if the umpire did his job properly...
 
The game was well and truly over and we didn't deserve to win anyway, but the Hunt-Milne non-HTB decision was the worst call I've seen all year.

Milne marked, played on (witness umpire waving his arms saying "play on! play on!"), slipped over and was tackled perfectly by Josh. Was there prior opportunity? Of course, he played on after a mark. Did Milne try to get rid of the ball? No, he was lying on the ground like a stunned mullet thinking "that was almost as embarrassing as my grubber kick in the GF."

The non-decision was bad enough, but for the umpire to pay a free against Hunt for mouthing off just made it 10x worse. How precious are these umpires? I hope he's dropped for this week. I thought our guys were undisciplined all night, but I don't blame Josh one iota for losing his cool at that moment. I hope he told the umpire what we were all thinking about him.
