AFL Round 14

Don't think it was 50m as the umpires usually show leniency with players going over the mark when it's close to not going the distance.

Just saw it again, 2 players went over the mark! Must have needed a 3rd to trigger the whistle.

Horrible missed call.

Lasted 5 minutes listening to Dermie and Dwayne ‘I’m a fecking know all’ Russell.

Its a shame he spoils it for all the Kellie Underwood lovers

Where do you go from commentating the Sunday twilight game? Its like being in the back pocket of the B Grade

That’s the exact definition of going over the mark.
50m penalty every day of the week

[Armchair expert]

Dwayne is no good but give me him over Brayshaw any day

They never call that, if it was a 40m kick to the guy he would have got it.Doesnt matter if it was 2 or 22 blokes.
They're always lenient when the distance is doubtful and are pretty consistent at it.
Probably shouldn't have been called a mark to start with but once again the umps usually do pay 10 metre kicks.

Except the umpire blue his whistle twice (signaling a mark) and the 2 Collingwood players kept coming. They knew it was paid. Sidebottom wasn't even in the area until the second whistle blew and he kept coming.

Shite call by the umps.

Houston having some game, Port would be down by 4-5 goals without him

You’ll have to draw a picture, mate…

Irrelevant mate, they always give leeway for the smaller kicks close to the distance required.
Always. It's not rocket science, they've been doing it since I've been alive.
I'm not saying they should, in fact IMHO they shouldn't, mind you if they could judge a distance accurately in the first place it wouldn't be an issue, should have been play on to start with.
Claiming that decision cost North Melbourne the game is ridiculous, I could probably find at least a dozen more contentious than that one.
Shit call? Agreed.
Consistent with what they've always done? Agreed.

[mots02]

Sorry I mentioned it

[Wedgie]

Sorry I mentioned it

I forgive you. You're a Crows supporter mate, you're not expected to have any idea about the game.

[mots02]

In other news, at least it seems like they’ve found a job suitable for Ken on Ports bench now.

He held up that speeding car cartoon pic expertly.

[Jim05]

3 goals in 3/4 won’t win you too many games

[locky801]

3 goals in 3/4 won’t win you too many games

cant tell me some of them out there for the Power today were fit, obviously some carrying injuries still

Skill set was woeful as well

[Vamos]

Absolute terrible game worthy of the poo timeslot, another year of mediocrity. KEN 4 TEN....more days

Had a chortle at Norff losing that, but geez Collingwood are kissed on the dick.

I'd be delighted if I was kissed on the dick as often as the Pies!

100% that was a 50 metre penalty. Would have been a 50 in the early 2000's
You've obviously been dead for 18 months since the stand rule came in. They've been paying 50's for players going 1 step past the mark let alone 2 players going 5 steps past the mark

[amber_fluid]

I think even Tigerpie would agree it was a 50m penalty

[Wedgie]

They never do for 50/50 calls with distance. Fact
Yep, if it had travelled 50 metres definite 50. Is that correct? No.
Not staying it's right, in fact I think it's always been wrong, it's the way it always has been though.
Should it have been 50 under the rules?
Yep
Has it ever been for kicks that have travelled less than 20?
Nup
Did it travel long enough to be a legal mark?
Nup, but the umps pay it, another thing I disagree with.

Hey, I was barracking for North Melbourne and it would have helped my team if they'd lost but that is never paid as a 50 (and incorrectly IMHO). It's just the way it is.

Anyhow more importantly Collingwood kicked 119 points, let's concentrate on the big issues people!
