AFL Round 5 discussion (& lives scores).

[Brad]

As a Tiger supporter I'm not going to blame that goal umpiring issue, out defensive effort when we hit the front was ordinary. I'm more annoyed that the biggest sniper in the league kicked the winning goal as he did last year when thu beat us at the MCG.

he didn't snipe tonight. he kicked goals instead.

Had his moments.

That idiot Vickery should of marked it

Irrelevant. Umpire cost them a goal in a 1 point game - period.

No
Kicking 7 goals in 3 quarters of football after kicking 5 in the first cost them the game

No, ball goes like it WOULD HAVE through and rich win. Whatever happened before is irrelevant.
What if it was your team Jim or Q. ?

We lost 2 finals in 96 by 1 point.
It sucks and of course no one likes to see a game decided like that.
But it shouldnt have got to that point, Richmond should of blown them away, they were poor after quarter time and were lucky the margin was so close. Scoreboard flattered Richmond tonight, Freo dominated them

[dedja]

Is it just me or are Fox starting to over analyse matches with 15 commentators or analysts per match?

Pretty fair assessment in a lot of ways, we went back to the real dark days of the past with some terrible decision making and skill errors.

I dont mind the Fox commentator setup.
They are giving Riewoldt a fair whack ATM, King especially is going hard

[howzat]

If it was my team I would be biased and say it would have been a goal.

Ball hit the ump in the nuts which were centred with the post.

I was watching a different game then, agree to disagree.
(I did pick freo and have them anchoring 2 multi bets).

David King is a muppet but I agree with him about Riewoldt.

That was my issue, why not review it?

Mcpharlin flogged Jack tonight, his body language leaves a lot to be desired and he doesn't chase hard enough.

I dont think they can review a non-decision...
Had the umpire called it a point then it could have been reviewed, but as no decision was made there was nothing to review... Tis a pity though because i thought it was a goal for sure.

[Squids]

It wasn't a goal...the umpire had his legs on each side of the line and the ball bounced straight up. The rule states the ball remains in play even if it touches the umpire...the umpire only called it a point when the Freo player crossed the line so it was umpired to the letter of the law. No review was required there.

If the umpire was not in the way....who knows.
