North Adelaide v Norwood Post Game Discussion

[mighty_tiger_79]

don't worry, the Royal Commission will unearth the truth ...

the umpires were given brown paper bags before the game........

[Jim05]

the verdict is, he was tackled without the play on call from the umpire so therefore it shouldve been a 25m penalty and the umpires cost norwood the win

BUT he might have kicked into the man on the mark, kicked it out on the full or dropped dead, so we'll never know.

If only it was a 25m penalty and Gergiou kicked a point
DRAW

AND, if Newton had kicked 4.2 instead of 2.4 aswell as twice not scoring at all from 40m out we would have won comfortably. That of course didnt happen and in the paper it still says we lost by a point, end of story

Yep NA wins the match, its all that counts
But the Historians of the NW + NA football clubs need to know the facts NOW
In the year 2525, the historians will only see a 1 point win for NA
Some bright spark will have recorded the safooty annuals and time capsuled this thread perhaps
Then the humans of 2525 will know there was some controversy in this match
As there was in the following games influenced by late umpiring decisions
1978 NW V ST Grand Final
1945 WT V NA First Semi Final

Norwood lose and they blame the umpires. It was your inaccuaracy of kicking goals that cost you, not the umpires.

North played the better football and deserved the win. Norwoods skills let them down at crucial times.

I dont barrack for either team but went as a neutral supporter and really enjoyed the game.

[Easy Miss]

sounds like a trip to me!

Far out man!!!

Green Beaver?

Lucy in the sky with diamonds!!

[Leaping Lindner]

About 5 seconds to go
NA lead by a point
NW with their last foray into attack
Langford passes to Georgiou
Georgiou marks, on TV it appears between wing and half forward [about 55m out ???]
Sensing whatever Georgiou plays on
He almost eludes the man on the mark Alleway,and gets marginally past him
He is tackled from behind by Alleway
The tackle almost certainly appears to be around Georgious ankle
Georgiou is subsequently tripped and falls to the ground
Georgiou then handpasses the ball
Approximately 2 seconds later the siren sounds

QUESTION
Im not sure what the rules are on tripping these days
Should Georgiou been awarded a free kick ?
Is there a penalty for deliberate OR unintentional tripping ?[I reckons it was unintentional]
Whats the verdict ?

I reckons it should have been a free kick at least

And I know you want more ...

Georgiou plays on
The umpire has not called play on when he is impeded
I know its a 50m penalty in the AFL
Is it the same in the SANFL ?

It sounds like the umpire called play on after the trip was executed
At about the time Georgiou handballed is when I heard the ump call play on , on the TV

Whats the verdict on this one ?

Other possible scenario..

Georgiou gets the free for being tripped,and 25 metre penalty.
He is now well within kicking range.
Unfortunately due to his foot being sore (from the trip) he sprays the kick and misses the lot!!
Result stands

Apparently Francou asked on 5AA this arvo about Bassetts comments and he was none too pleased and nor should he be.

The beauty of football is we get to have at least 1 more crack at each other this year, we will see how much motivation you get out of it. Maybe it will backfire on Bass maybe it wont

We will be motivated if Bassett took the field - other than that it may be forgotten by then or won't matter!

Shows a lack of respect.

I'm sure there would be a few norwood supporters and players thinking wtf.

[CUTTERMAN]

All I'm reading is whining about whining

You get that. It's the modern day Australian way.
