Umpires bouncing disgrace.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Typical Cow/St Kilda excuse. Blame everyone else.

Sometimes I wonder about you PF.

I will post this one more time just for you and I will put it in capitals
to save confusing you.

WEST COAST ARE A BETTER TEAM THAN ADELAIDE.

And one more time in capitals just for you.

THE BOUNCE IN THAT LAST QUARTER WAS DIABOLICAL.

And in Capitals........WHO GIVES A F***. You are saying that it cost AC the game. Read your 1st post again.

St Kilda supporters are a sad bunch when they are actually making up excuses for other teams unsuccessful seasons.

can i have a KILO of whatever drugs you are on, it must be some great gear to come up with that!!!!!!!

WC got robbed as well with that Goal umpiring decision in that last quarter.
It was a West Coast goal by a foot, that was deemed touched.
Both sides got bad decisions, West Coast deserved the win.

The 3rd decision was that last bounce when GOODWIN was clear and the
Umpire recalled it back for a West Coast Free.
Can someone ellaborate on why, I didnt see it

[Peter Falconia]

PF, I suppose you will say the bounce was fair?
Nah Your not that stupid, surely

Pretty sure the umpire didn't mean to bounce it to the advantage of a WCE player. Thems the breaks.

didnt see the replay in full of the decision but i believe that it was given as too high.

a neutral supporter saw it and couldnt believe it - play on was his call.

What planet are you on?
The ump should have recalled the bounce , if it bounced into the lap
of a Adelaide player you would have taken this to the Supreme Court!

[Peter Falconia]

Come on mal, now you are trying to back out with a dodgy goal umpiring decision, and a dubious free kick.

How about the one incident during the day that amazed me. Darren Goldspink hounding Adam Hunter at half time. If Hunter had done the same thing to the umpire, he would of got ten weeks. Thats one umpire who thinks he is bigger than the game.

[am Bays]

Technically it was there, player in front caught over the shoulder, however, no real difference from the one not paid against Burton laste in the 2nd quarter.

But as Mal said above, by all reports a goal wasn't paid to West Coast when it should have been.

Thats footy, umpiring mistakes even out over the course of a game.

Not the reason why we lost, a lack of effort (in the 3rd quarter) and lack of footy smarts cost us (mattner and edwards getting caught when they a) should have disposed of it earlier, b) not being communicated to by their teammates & c) lack of awareness of where there opponents are) and Stevens panicking in the 1st quarter when he was clear and kicking a point, are just some of the reasons why we lost.

At times today we played dumb footy, can't blame the umpires when we made just as many bad split decision mistakes...

Hopefully players learn from today and go two steps further forward next year....

[bayman]

your not getting mals point, his main point is why wasn't it recalled ? & i asked the same ? as in the sanfl it would have been recalled so not to have a clear advantage to anyone, why in the so called premier league cant they recall a bounce ? if they can i'll bet that umpire will not get a gig next week & for the record i know mal backed wce so he's not talking through his heart or pocket & this situation is exactly why they should throw it up then there is no complaints whatsoever

[Jimmy]

I saw the bounce and it was clearly the worst thing ive ever seen.

terrible, and im not a cows man.



The umpiring last night confirmed why i dont like the afl as its just over officiated. Dont get me wrong, ill watch it but the umpiring is ruining the game big time.

Nearly 30 weeks of football disintigrated for the AC team just on one lousy bounce up

Sounds to me that mal is blaming the game on the bounce, how else you could interpret that?

I couldn't believe the holding the ball that wasn't paid in front of the West Coast goals earlier on.
The Crows were to be as close as they were.

[leftlegger]

I thought the crows got absolutely nothing from the umpires all day.

Just a few examples that I can remember throughout the game:
•The dodgy bounce
•That last decision in the square with crows 4 points down and going forward was a sick joke.
•Holding the ball in front of goal, not paid, to Bode.
•50 metre penalty on the wing not paid (having seen the same thing paid consistantly all year)
•Burton clearly held while attempting to mark in front of goal
•Edwards penalised for HTB while ball was dislodged in a bump

Crows fans probably have a right to be pissed off. They just fell short, who knows if the above decisions would have altered the scoreby 1 goal.

But really, Eagles looked the dominanant team for the majority of the game.

[mal]

I have thought for years about Umpires throwing the ball up
instead of bouncing the ball.
We witnessed that diabolical centre bounce in the AC V WC final
in that last quarter which did not bounce and went sideways and
straight to a WC player...and a goal resulted........
Nearly 30 weeks of football disintigrated for the AC team just
on one lousy bounce up as they conceded momentum to WC.

I say throw the ball up, make it fair.
There might just be some good umpies out there who cant bounce the ball.

Thanks WEDGIE for your support.

Conceding momentum is not the same as saying that bounce cost them the game.
The interpretation of what I posted may not be concise , so I will put it in capitals
for you and your North Adelaide mate PF to understand

THAT BOUNCE WAS NOT THE REASON ADELAIDE LOST

[Jimmy]

leftlegger, i remember some of those incidents and the HTB against edwards was a joke....im just shaking my head...umps can make mistakes, sure, but that was just blatantly pathetic!!!

long live the sanfl!!!!!!!

[dinglinga]

the bounce by martin ellis possibly will cost him $ 15K by missing next weeks gf

[Booney]

LMFAO,I cant belive I am contributing to this blatantly moronic discussion,but,the bounce in question was diabolical,no doubt and should have been recalled.The point I would like to raise is this,anyone else see Andrew McLeod short step in the last 10 minutes of the game and back out of a hard ball contest? I did,so did the Crows fans I was watching with....


Oh,and for those complaining about the umpiring....
