Still didn’t answer the questions put to you and I’m yet to see the umpire say it was touched.
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
That’s ok, don’t answer the questions then. It’s easy to see things with slow mo technology, the umps only have certain angles that they can see from
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Taberner didn’t even have his arms out to tackle him when he touched him and McGovern run in from the side so I’m not sure how he got in his back. There was easy a dozen frees that weren’t paid to both sides so just picking out one that suits your narrative is pretty petty
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Don, did Taberner tackle or bump in the free kick that he got that resulted in a goal and please explain what did McGovern do wrong in his spoil on Treacy I believe it was that Freo also got a goal from?
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Taberner goal from a non tackle free kick and goal from a perfectly executed McGovern spoil I reckon evens it out don’t you think? The umpires didn’t decide the game, being at the game it was a shocking display of umpiring but Carlton definitely didn’t get the rub of the green as people are saying. It might show that the ball may have touched Aish but this happens to every team every week and if Clark didn’t carry on then there would be no issue
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Talk about a carry on, swings and roundabouts. The “non touch” call can only be seen as maybe touched in slow mo footage so what hope do the umpires have. If Clark didn’t carry on like an idiot then the free kick wouldn’t have been paid, it’s obvious by Walkers reaction to Clark that he said something stupid and over the top. At the other end of the ground Taberner was gifted a goal when he didn’t tackle Acres I think it was and was given a free and Treacy I believe it was was given a goal from a perfect spoil from McGovern. Like I said, swings and roundabouts. I was at the game and it was the worst display of umpiring I’ve ever seen but to say it favoured Carlton is wrong, a lot of holding the ball calls the Freo got that ended in goals weren’t paid the other way. Pearce getting tackled on the wing is just one case in point

If Cox didn’t strut around like he was the best ever player and carry on like he does then what happened on the weekend wouldn’t have even been talked about
'In hindsight I should have stopped': Cox apologises over pre-match Giants coach altercation after AFL's 'please explain'
I’m blaming Maynard not Brayshaw, Brayshaw had no control in the outcome of this whatsoever
'Take the colours of the guernseys out of it': Buckley stands by Maynard as Tribunal date looms
Because he was too busy playing the ball

Bedford should have never been cited in the first place, didn’t even make head contact
'Take the colours of the guernseys out of it': Buckley stands by Maynard as Tribunal date looms
There is one word that needs looking at in all of this, INSTINCT. There’s been a heap of carry on above Maynard turned to protect himself but I ask any of these people saying this 2 things. If you get pushed over, what is your first instinct? You put your arms out to break your fall and to soften harm to yourself.If you run and jump at a wall, what’s your first instinct? You put your arms out to soften the blow to yourself. Both these actions are muscle memory and self preservation actions that just happen.
Now I have played a lot of Australian Rules Football and I know for a fact that if I bumped someone with my shoulder- rather than protect myself and the other person by putting my hands out- then it was a conscious decision to make contact with my shoulder into said person no matter the time I had. Therefore, Maynard made a conscious decision to contact Angus with his shoulder rather than act on human INSTINCT
'Take the colours of the guernseys out of it': Buckley stands by Maynard as Tribunal date looms
AFL are a hell of a lot harder on head contact these days so he has to go. Christian has suspended blokes for a hell of a lot less this year. Will be interesting how much Collingwood tax he applies. First thing Laura Kane needs to do is to change the MRO and get someone who has no club affiliation to lead it
UPDATE: Maynard sent straight to Tribunal over Brayshaw collision as AFL steps in
If Christian ruled Bedford’s shepherd a week then this is worth at least 4. Careless, high contact and severe impact. Would not be surprised if Christian lets him off though as he’s proven that he’s very lenient to his old mob. As for Maynard, he’s the softest “hard man” in the league. Looking forward to the excuses a certain pie on this forum makes for him

My 8 year old daughter could have told you what Eddie said last night, not real ground breaking news
AFL News: McGuire claims Simpson facing axe in bombshell report, Goodwin blasts 'absolute rubbish' rumours
Terrible idea, this would mean teams will be just trying to punch the ball over the line from every kick that lands within 15 metres of goal instead of a big pack mark or a fight from both sides to either get the ball out of there or to set up a goal which is the uniqueness of our game.
Six Points: The ARC got Petracca 'touched' call spot on, and the Matildas lesson the AFL must learn
What a crock, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Can’t have it both ways.
'Players should never, ever be touched': Tigers slam fan incident with Marlion Pickett, AFL to investigate
What an absolute crock of sh%t this over-reaction is. If banning the supporter for patting a player on the back is going to happen then the AFL must suspend any player high fiving members of the crowd after a goal or when they’re entering the race. If the supporter physically assaulted him then yes throw the book at him but all he did was pat him on the shoulder. If anything Pickett actually assaulted the supporter by whacking his hand

If Maynard played for any other club he would’ve got a week,hence why Christian needs to go.
AFL News: McQualter's perfect response to Tiger's phone snub, lengthy ban looms for Blue, Rachele learns fate for strike
How the hell is Boyd’s tackle worth a 3 week suspension? Just more proof that Christian needs to be moved on and that the AFL need to be flogged by the media for not having a footy boss to hold Christian accountable. On previous sanctions a week would be enough even though in most people’s reality it deserves probably no more than a fine, if that

He is a very good footballer, he’s as tough as they come.
AFL News: Head of umpiring responds to dissent rule controversy as Blues star urges players to 'shut our mouths'
I want to know how DeGoey got off in the preseason for applying the same tackle as Burton? This is why you can’t have an ex player running the MRO, Christian has a history of leniency towards his former club
Six Points: Bevo has a month to save himself, and the rule tweak needed to prevent another 'Sirengate'
Dangerfield has always been a front runner which is why I was very surprised he was named captain. He’s not the follow me kind of captain
AFL News: Roos stand down Thomas over 'failure to meet expectations', coaching great's Danger whack
Would not be concerned one iota if De Koning left at the end of the year. Hugely overrated meaning we will get something decent in return. He’s only a flash in the pan player, takes a high mark here and there but that’s about it. He needs to improve a huge amount and quickly if he’s to live up to the commentary around him.
Beware Saints' new tagger, outrageous Errol, and a September smoky: Talking points from AAMI Community Series Day 2
Thought you couldn’t play AFL for 18 months if you retired? Same goes for Liam Jones. I have no issue at all with these blokes playing, I think it’s great that they are playing again but the AFL needs to sort their rules and regulations out. I remember when there was talk about Ablett jnr maybe making a comeback after he retired the AFL were pretty quick to say he wasn’t eligible to.
