Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

No idea. I didn't think they could review that, but when the review came back the umpire in the goal square definitely signalled for HTB and we got a free. It was right in front of me.
Its what confused people watching on TV, apparently the scoreboard on the TV increased the Carlton score by 1 for that, but when Boyd missed that shot at goal, it didn't increase their score, ie. they corrected it between the 2 things.
These a-holes also didn't notice how long blood was dripping from Curnow's face.
You mean they turned a blind eye to it as long as they could.
Looking at the replay you're right, but the AFL app still gives Curnow a point, and doesnt mention the last rushed.
So now score reviews can be used to decide free kicks? Another farce.

Adam Kingsley in a coaching briefing the year before said exactly the same thing. We no longer bother complaining coz the response from the AFL is "used as a comedy spot in internal briefings".
Yeah, looking at the score board, poshie is right. And the goal umpire didnt actually signal a point or wave the flag.
So the process went something like- ball crosses the line, goal umpire says "i think it is a point, but i want to see if he kicked it"-field umpire sends the decision to the fARCe.- fARCe decision inconclusive so umpires call. and suddenly because fARCe is inconclusive the umpires call is a free kick.
Yes.
I feel like Cool Hand Luke. They broke him in the end, the Spirit and willingness to fight the cause was beaten out of him by sheer persistent cruelty and unfairness.
Still shakin it Boss
Wasn't Grimes crunched in the back and he held the ball the same amount of time..play on
We are umpired with hate..
Even non Richmond supporter are calling it out.
The worse decision of the many
Why wasn't advantage called after Lynch got the free kick.
So, is anyone still believing that it’s the way Dimma coaches us that results in us being screwed over week after week by the maggots?
G'day, battling with blues mate over free kicks. Anyone able to help me out with frees count??
It turned out to a respectable (for us) 24 them - 17 us.
At quarter time it was 5-5, but blew out to 10+ differential to them at one point.
2nd quarter was woeful
Made worse that that free was only a couple of mins after we won a HTB free and very close to the same time as the whistle was blown and we kicked forward to a Carlton player and advantage was called, then when we DID have an advantage they called it back. Was made even worse for us because the only tall we had forward of the ball was Lynch who was now the free kick taker, so we had zero talls forward and due to the time taken to get the ball back they could flood back.
Far be it for me to argue on the AFilth's behalf, but the review was because if he'd got a toe to the ball it was a goal. As he didn't it was incorrect disposal or whatever they call dropping the ball nowadays.
