Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 21: Carlton vs. Richmond

[crashlander]

And the winner is _________

[laj]

Too much start like earlier on in Teague's reign. Last goal shouldn't count. Wish it could've stayed 16pts. Playing two power sides at the peak of their powers in two weeks, 16pts would've been a good result.

disgusted by the umpires...there were clear seconds before the m,ark was taken.

Then H pulled down.

And Murphy's two moments - first when he was having the shot on goal, told it would be a throw in, then the deliberate in the blinding rain....

Very winnable game, we just didn't dhow up for long enough + the regular passengers.

Kennedy might have helped today?

[flyboy77]

And too many blokes trying to be heroes by kicking a goal from outside 50....

Basics you clowns - top of the square....

Too much ill discipline today for my liking.

In the In Game thread people are critical of McGovern and Lang, but how come no mention of the putrid display of Harry McKay? 

He's had enough games to give the forward line some strength but today he was just a spectator.

As an example, with 9 minutes to go in the last quarter with the ball deep in our forward pocket he just sat back hoping one of our smalls would give him a hand ball.  He is as soft as.

It was well after the siren ... see the link for the rule and how it was applied

That score cannot stand.

Against my better judgement, I'll post while I'm white hot.

Two 'take to the bank' aspects of the game:

1. napping in first half
   
2. slogging our guts out to claw back to a winnable position only to then hand back momentum with utterly ridiculous skill and judgement errors
   

Fix it Teaguey, fix it.

Watched it on TV and when Thomas told the umpire the siren went before the mark was taken the umpy said, "Doesn't matter anyway, you can't review that."  WTF?!?  :o

So we could possibly see a GF decided because "you can't review that".  Joke.

A 6 goal head start is always going to be costly. Particularly with the wet conditions.
Once again too many passengers. Our defense was solid.
Some early poor umpiring also worked us over. Like Murphy's 1st deliberate oob results in a goal ????. We laid a couple of tackles where the tigers clearly pulled the ball back in... nothing to see apparently ????
In the end our low centre clearances and disposal efficiency kept us out of the game.
Cripps and all the seniors can hold their heads high.

Wrong, sadly.

Relevant rules
The relevant clauses of the official AFL rules are:

"10.4.1 The timekeepers shall sound the siren to signal the end of a quarter until a field umpire acknowledges that the siren has been heard and brings play to an end."
and

"10.4.2 Play in each quarter shall come to an end when any one of the field umpires hears the signal."
Most commentators agree that the timekeepers erred with respect to Rule 10.4.1; that is, the siren did not continue to sound until it was formally acknowledged by an umpire. Acknowledgement of the siren requires any one of the three field umpires to raise both arms into the air and blow the whistle. There remains some doubt as to whether any of the three umpires did hear the siren, but in any event, none chose to bring play to an end as required by Rule 10.4.2. This rule is not well known by football fans and clearly states that the umpires are the sole judge of when a quarter ends. However, generally this is in terms of a split second decision as to whether a mark or kick occurred before or after the siren sounded, rather than the 25 seconds difference in this case.

While Jonesy and Weiters held their big guys admirably, the small forward kicks 4 and catch this.... lays 14 tackles.

We desperately need one of those!
