Steven is actually goal side of the whole thing…
Gram is there and Ray was streaming in too
So more like 6.
What do you get out of imagining that we could have stuffed that up?
Does it make your 85 point flogging prediction feel any better?
Or your bottom 4 prediction?
You are the most half-arsed 'supporter' I have ever come across…
You win though, you've wasted more of my time, I'm the fool.

Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
Ok so who does BJ handball it to though? And is that player slowing down to a canter and having to reach out very wide with the right arm to collect the ball whilst almost at a stand-still. The answers are Armo and yes.dragit wrote:Cairnsman wrote:Goddard, Milne, Armitage - obviously…dragit wrote:

Steven is goal side but has an oppo player hot on his heels and yes Gram is an option also but who does BJ hand ball it to. The answer is still Armo and if you look at it objectively you might see that it is possible that Armo was not a certainty for the goal. That is my argument. That is all.

Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
If anyone can find Wally I reckon he was a shoe-in to kick the goal.
Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
Armo slowed down and took his eyes off the ball to look across at the umpire when he heard the whistle, otherwise he would've run into an open goal.

It might not have been an open goal because Dale Thomas was in a position to move into his path.Fazer wrote:Armo slowed down and took his eyes off the ball to look across at the umpire when he heard the whistle, otherwise he would've run into an open goal.

Did you hear the commentators?
"They would have kicked a goal"
"StKilda were out, no-one between them and the goal there…"
Only a trolling imbecile would argue that we might not have kicked a goal.
Go figure.

Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
You certainly don't seem to be able to. There was no way in the ordinary course of events that we would not have scored a goal from that play if it had been allowed to go uninterrupted. Daisy nowhere near close enough to impact Armo and even if he did cover the ground he was outnumbered and would have then been out of the contest.Cairnsman wrote:I'm just hoping that people who are wrong can admit it.
Nothing in this world is absolute, so we had maybe a 99% chance of converting, but just stop crapping on with your inane drivel and hypocritical rubbish. Who do you even barrack for? Why would you hijack this thread with such ludicrous hypotheticals? We got robbed blind, why try to pretend that we didn't?

Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
You're not making any sense at all. How many steps/meters do you think Dale Thomas was from entering the path of Armo?

Don't Argue: Umps vs Milne
Umpires director Jeff Gieschen said today it was an isolated mistake in an otherwise solid performance.
"He'll be umpiring again this week. In hindsight, with replays and slow-mos, we can see that the contact was so minimal that we wouldn't pay a free kick. But he has to make a call in the heat of battle,'' Gieschen said.
Margetts' whistle to pay the free kick to O'Brien for mark interference by St Kilda forward Stephen Milne stopped Saint David Armitage from kicking a goal from close range that would have tied the scores with only seconds left in Saturday night's game.
"We deemed it to be an unwarranted free kick to O'Brien. It was not a chop of the arms or interfering with the arms because there was no contact to the arms,'' Gieschen said.
"If anything, Milne did turn and run with the flight of the ball with his eyes on his opponent, but the contact he made was very minimal. There was not enough contact from the front to constitute a free kick.''
The umpires boss likened the judgment error to one by a player at a similarly crucial time of a game.
"Over the course of the game, we're talking about one 50-50 decision out of hundreds that the umpire would've made,'' Gieschen said.
"If there was a trend there or a pattern in making errors throughout the game, that would be different. But Dean umpired very well. You could liken it to a player, because he missed one set shot for goal from 15m out, are you going to drop him on that? Probably not.
"In this case we deemed it to be unwarranted, but that's not to say he didn't have his reasons for paying that free kick.''
Gieschen said the umpires' review had backed the play-on call from Hawthorn forward Cyril Rioli's tackle on Geelong's Mitch Duncan in the frantic final minute of last Friday night's game.
"By the time he (Duncan) took the ball and took one step to turn to kick and another step to balance to kick, he was tackled by Rioli,'' he said.
"In that case we've deemed that he hadn't had a prior opportunity. Had he taken three or four paces, that would've been different. So, we're comfortable with the play-on call there.''
Knew it. Absolute disgrace.

Re: Harry O'brien decision incorrect - AFL
Was it Margettes that called the 50 for swearing?
or Milne getting hit in the head before slinging O'Brien and giving away a free?
or missed the holding Kosi's arm in the Reid clash?
or what about when Dawes took a mark on the wing, took too long, was tackled perfectly without disposing of the ball - no free?
or Simpkin's hit on Wellingham?
Just a couple of the top of my head, it was hardly a solid night for the umpires…
But I will admit that it would be a very hard gig…

There's no way Thomas who is flat footed is going to reach Armo who is running in and can afford to move away from Thomas anyway to kick on his preferred left foot. Check out the second replay, it gives you a better perspective.

Actually the second replay highlights another possible conclusion and that is that Armo actually misses the hand ball from BJ and it spills to the ground. Now in the frenetic pace of that final play what's to say after letting the ball spill to the ground he isn't able to quickly retreive the ball or worse still has to fight for it on the ground with Thomas. Way too many variables to say it was a certain goal. Would have loved it to be but it wasn't.
