    Default AFL Result Changed

    From a young age you learn to play the whistle. Rules are rules, and the game didn't end until the controlling umpire blew his whistle in recognition of the final siren.

    The AFL is wrong to change the result, no matter how retarded the umpire is for not hearing the final hooter.

    What do you think?

    i heard that it wasn't the umpires fault but the official that controls the siren. He's supposed to sound the siren until the umpire acknowledges it isn't he ... so it's really his fault??

    I'd be plenty ****ed off if i was a St.Kilda player/supporter.

    I can't tell you how angry this makes me. There is a rule that specifically covers this in 10.4 and because we don't like it when the rule is used we change the result.

    Everything is up for grabs now.

    Clubs are now obliged to test every close result. Why wouldn't they if they could steal 2 or 4 points. The AFL's statement that "this is a special case" will last only until the next 'special case'. The rod they have made for their back today will never leave them.

    the rule is "game isn't over until the umpire hears the siren.

    it doesn't specifiy which umpire and it's become apparent that every umpy but the one with the ball heard it.

    I guess it is a special case because it was at a ground used sparingly by the AFL.hence if it had of been at who's ever home ground, they would have heard the siren.

    So I guess if you are going to promote the game, make sure the ground and its facilities are up to standard.

    Speaking as a current level 2 accredited AFL field umpire, any of the three can make the call. If either of the other 2 umpires had heard it then they would have come down and made the call. If they didn't they will be taking a holiday in the bush for while.

    if you watch the footage they both ran down the ground trying to get him to stop it and one of them changed the 50m penalty decision to avoid even moe controversy.

    Freo, heave ho.

    St Kilda had no right to get two points, despite the Dockers last quarter choke.
    It was a timekeeper fault not an umpire's, so close results can't be appealed in the future on the basis of an umpire error based on this precedent.

    Sucked in Grant Thomas.

    Default Saints

    I have been a life long Saints supporter (the mental scars are deep let me tell you). IMHO the descision is just and right.

    We were given a gift when we were awarded 2 points for the game. The fact is we played pitifully on Sunday, not dissimilar to the few weeks before last round and deserved to loose.

    Until the Saints hierachy wake up and get rid of the tosser currently coaching we will continue to be a laughing stock.

    It was a toss-up between Andy & David Brent. I might have to rotate them regularly.

    Anyhow, back to the GayFL.
