Re: AFL Game Day R13

I actually thought it was there. Seemed late to me.

What is the actual rule i have nfi.

Bumping is legal. It wasn't in the back or high. Does the ball need to be within a certain distance?

Edit: it's 5 metres. So that's the question.

It's almost deliberate from the AFL now to make the rules so unclear that every single decision can be justified.

You could definitely argue that was a free kick.
You could definitely argue that it was play on.

How goods footy!

Re: AFL Game Day R13

I was very surprised by that decision. I was cursing Scicily for hooking the kick so badly.

Re: AFL Game Day R13

It’s just so easy to not pay that. You ask people to commit themselves to supporting teams to make this whole shit work and yet every week there’s a free kick in the last minute of a close game that totally defeats the purpose of watching the two hours before it. Fix it!

That's it, which shows why many decisions are inconsistent, some umps pay that late and others let it go.

Some pay down field and others from where the player kicked it

Wtf was that decision against Yeoh.

Man we have a massive issue with umpiring this htb rule. That's cost the West Coast of Australia the game. My advice to players, don't pick up the ball.

The AFL and the umpires are destroying the game.

Re: AFL Game Day R13

We should just decide the winner before the game and then also not actually play the games.

And this is where the AFL game is now becoming unwatchable.
Players don't hit the ground , to try to get first possession of the ball because fear of:
1. headhit their opponent
2. Tunnelling
3. Penalised for "prior" opportunity. This one is ridiculous as it is up to the umpire's interpretation.

Players now literal stand, and bend over and try to pickup. It is massive strain on hamstrings. Its like watching a flock of flamingos

I hate what the game has become now and the subjectivity it leaves to the umpires.
