AFL Game Day - R22

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

Let's not give them another option to be completely inconsistent.

We need consistency

Surely it would not be arbitrary what is 50 vs 25. If you bring in a 25m penalty you standardise which infractions they apply to.

Collingwood fans melting down about the missed 50?

Macrae inadvertently admitting that his team gets an advantage when playing at the MCG (you know, the ground they play 18 games at AND where the GF is hosted)?

It would be clear which are 25 id hope if it went that way.
Its such a massive penalty.

That's why last night, all the ump has to do is call the player back on the mark - there was no time wasting, Mcartin was running fast and went over the mark for a second.

The original 50m rule was introduced for time wasting and holding up play.

50m Penalty:

50-metre penalties are primarily used to deal with time wasting or unsportsmanlike conduct after a mark or free kick is awarded. Specific infractions which can result in a 50-metre penalty include:

• Arguing with, disputing the decision of, or using abusive language towards an umpire.
• Scragging the player who has taken a mark; that is, to tackle the player or impede him from taking the kick as quickly as he would like.
• Failing to return the ball quickly and on the full to a player who has been awarded a free kick.
• Wasting time, deliberately or inadvertently, by kicking the ball forward after one's team has conceded a free kick.
• Using unnecessary roughness against a player who has already taken a mark.
• Running over the mark; the man standing on the mark cannot move forward, and must respond if called to recede by the umpire.
• Running through the mark; other defensive players who are not standing on the mark may not run across the imaginary line between the man standing the mark and the man taking the kick, unless following his direct opponent.
• Entering the protected zone; defensive players may not impede an opponent by entering or remaining within the corridor of space extending ten metres either side of the imaginary line between the man standing the mark and the man taking the kick, and extending backwards, unless following his direct opponent.
• Impeding a player while he is advancing the ball as part of measuring out a previous 50-metre penalty.

I thought he was very late and went too far over the mark.
However reading the rules there's he did comply once asked to go back so it seems like the correct call.

Sydney kicked three goals in 4 minutes when Cox went in to the ruck. In that time he lost 4 ruck contests. One went straight to the Swans, the kick went to Logan McDonald who goaled. Right at the very death Cox, with 28 seconds left contested the throw in and double fisted it straight to Blakey who cleared the ball.
Game over.

Not sure why he didn't grab the ball out of the ruck and had a ping. He is not the brightest spark

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

Should McRae be sanctioned for calling the umpiring a Circus. Let's see if the AFL have balls.

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

Brissy Lions doing a Bulldogs today, poor kicking for goal and should have put the Giants away earlier in the game, Giants do look hot when the game is on their terms, can go either way this game.

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

Giants running all over the Lions at the Gabba, we are going to have to be at our best the final game of the season against this mob, Lions choking.

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

GWS dominated the last quarter. We are going to have to beat them in Ballarat. What's more it was their young players like Jones and Cadman who were pivotal. Lions inaccuracy was costly. Pay attention Bulldogs.

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

Good result, keeps us on the edge knowing we need to win every game to secure top 4.

and you believe the umpires interpret it correctly?

Re: AFL Game Day - R22

What’s better a Freo win or Cats win? Freo win keeps us closer to top 4 (if we win)
