The issue is not whether it was high or not. The issue is the umpire decision to ball it up was absolutely incorrect. If it was not high tackle free to Swans then it was free to Tigers for holding the ball. Player had prior opp and did not try to dispose of it. Ball up was incorrect. Let see what the AFL Gestapo excuse is this week

Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Weirdly I thought they helped us out a couple of times when it counted at the end last night
Correct and I said that at the game, it was either a free to Sydney for high contact or a free to Richmond for HTB. There's no half in half out crap, but thats what that decision was, 1 foot in each camp.
I highlighted just that earlier. My question had an element of sarcasm however are 7 asking whether it should have been high or are they asking should it be holding the ball?
The umpires are instructed that lowering the body is not prior but ducking is. In this case umpire interpreted it as lowering not ducking, hence no prior. So another grey area created - ducking vs lowering, just what the game needs. I would also say he had a couple of seconds prior after the initial tackle, when he was sitting on his backside like a stunned mullet
Ump bias to yellow and black is something we are going to have to live with until the club start making waves at AFL house
Ohhh poor things. These 'incidents' are so minor you don't even notice them. It's all revenue raising again. I wish retired players would speak out in easily losing money like this.
He does, but why do they hate Bakes so much? He gets his head ripped of 2-3 times a game, and gets nothing.
Bakes clearly contributes to the contact by being so short. In fact we should be counting our lucky stars that he's not being fined each week for staging!
What did JIzzy Cameron get for cleaning up the boundary umpire when doing a lap of honour to celebrate kicking a goal?
*smile* proxy Christian picks and chooses his victims. Surely it’s time someone called this clown out
Yeah....what an 'accident' that was when celebrating like a clown. Awareness wasn't even thought by these dopey flogs.
Sadly the *smile* wits in suits at AFLHQ are to stupid to comprehend the simplicity of what you are saying SSSDatsun. They're all paid *smile* loads of money to understand that AFL is a very complicated game with complex issues upsetting and frustrating the fans so it therefore takes administrative genius to navigate through these complexities.
This is like those black and white retards calling for a strike over their little ducking mincer just hurts credibility
Whatever the reason we cop a hiding each week its nothing to do with race
That'd be the former players that used to be the rules of the game committee. Pretty sure that most of them packed up the kit bag n walked away a few years ago because the flogs at HQ simply over rode them time n time again because they knew how to fix everything.
