AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

[Mav]

IDGAF. Do they think Harry was unlucky to miss out on a free for holding the man? I’m guessing they’d say that such decisions are just the rub of the green …

They were robbed....thats the general perception of everyone bar Carlton supporters and a lot of them think we got lucky.

Yep
But they're biased.

Scores were level at that stage and they had momentum ...... pro sport usually has the karma bus making a visit when you get lucky like that and evening up the score somewhere down the line.
The Umps will burn us in an important game and make it even.......its going to happen imho.

Venomous dissent ? No way.

Yes way!

It’s interesting how the narrative is changing with Coniglio now gesturing in accordance with his Italian heritage while politely asking why GWS didn’t get a free.  What a load of bollocks!

Despite what some supporters may think, umpires don’t just pluck free kicks out of their ask.  On the other hand, Kingsley is talking out of his ask with his claim that Coniglio doesn’t question umpires’ decisions.  A half decent coach would suck it up and agree that showing dissent isn’t good for the game.

Coniglio is a serial offender and he went too far and too often.

Anyway, the message has gone out and the umpires will have some respite from venomous dissent.

I heard Ray Chamberlain talking about this on radio today, the most interesting thing he said was how did the ump even see him with his peripheral vision? Ray said there is so much to do, so much going through your mind, the fact he saw him was impressive. That made me think though, was Ray suggesting he must have heard something to attract his attention?

The umpire had called “all clear” before he paid the free. In other words, play had stopped.  He would have responded to Coniglio’s shout and turned with plenty of time to see the gesticulating and stink eye.

He dropped the ball when tackled imho...I would have paid that as incorrect disposal. He was held onto for too long after the initial tackle but I would have paid the free to Taylor  before that...
