Round 2: The garlic Uber ride games.

Stupid Essendon crowd. Booing for holding the ball when the player kicked it when it spilled out.

Not from people that know what they are, which is rarely the commentators unfortunately.
Come on TBR.... Fans, commentators, even players are regularly perplexed by the rules and decisions.

To have something as simple as the end of a game being subject to interpretation and confusion is right on point for the AFL

I hate Essendon.

But a bloke on the mark getting faked out with a kick and stumbling one step for 50m is not AFL. Hate this rule.
Still haven't spoken to one person outside of the Geelong postcode that likes this rule.

Theres a lot of stupid stuff happening at Marvel, but this is one of the better games this week.
 
Tim Watson calling a Suns player "number 32"

Learning the players names clearly not a prerequisite at Channel 7

I don't disagree with that but I would have thought how the siren works was pretty common knowledge?
 
Amazing how Timmy comes back to commenting when the Bummers look hopeful.

Totally agree. But since the North Freo game we've hard arc footage released, heard that the game is over at the whistle, or when the umpire hears the siren, or when the umpire acknowledges the siren with the whistle and hands up. Then there was another umpire stating something different (deliberate oob)

The end of a sporting event should be easy to get right!

There's just no transparency from the AFL and the constant tweaks and rubbery grey interpretations are doing the umpires no favours.

He just called gold coast 'Sydney'

Time to pass the collection envelope around and sign the card - he's finished

Time for Jobe to step up and fill those enormous shoes....

Yep. I notice it when he calls the sports in the news. Senility arriving.
