AFL 2023

[Just Dave now]

dew gone now watch gold coast get up this week

[eagleboy]

They have tried this tactic a few times. Thought they would get away with it again.

Exclusive: Both Aliir Aliir and Lachie Jones have now been put in the concussion protocol and will miss this week v Geelong. Port Adelaide have been issued with a please explain by the AFL after Aliir was not given a SCAT5 test after his head knock

Port Adelaide doctor Mark Fisher:

“Upon reviewing the vision of the incident again, Aliir should have undergone SCAT testing at the time immediately following the collision."

whats the bet there was pressure from the coaching staff not to conduct the SCAT5 test....

looks like the Doctor is taking the fall for the Club...

They need to ask what the players remember from that day. My guess is nothing at all

[The Bourne Identity]

Who says they'll give an honest answer?

Might be a case do you remember or do you want to remember Saturday night.

Crazy round of footy, Bombers getting smashed, West Coast beating the Bulldogs and the utter disgrace from the goal umpire killing of the probability of the Crows reaching the finals.

Sydney are worth more to the ALF in the finals than backwater Adelaide

I don't doubt this. If it was a Victorian club there would a huge uproar and it would go very differently.

Yeah right. They deliberately made sure there would be a bad call at the game's death to better the chances of Sydney going in. These "conspiracies" know no bounds.

I think it was a huge error of the umpire not to review it and im certain if it was an Melbourne team things would be going different after all we all know the AFL is run in Victoria and thats where the big money is.
Of course we dont know what would have happened in the last minute and we never will. Its a shame on the AFL and the umpires.

Possibly the worst goal umpire decision I've seen, no doubt, but to call it a conspiracy is a bit rich. Instead of celebrating the goal, they should have waited the all-clear and surrounded the umps if they saw it as a blunder to pressure them into at least reviewing it. Thats what a Collingwood would have done.
Any issues with the point awarded to Footscray when Tony Liberatore celebrated as though it was a goal in the '97 prelim final, won by Crows (3 points I think)? Swings/roundabouts.

Conspiracy nah i dont think so. Just a colossal error that would have been dealt with differently after the game.

Very different time back then with a very different scoring system in terms of no reviews etc

I don't know if it was or wasn't. Libber and his team mates nearby at the time certainly thought it was a goal. If there was a "Victorian" bias, wouldn't they have signalled a goal anyway?

[MegaBonus]

I understand 'swings and roundabouts but the AFL have apologised twice this year for calls that have cost the Crows 8 points (no free kick to Dawson in the last seconds V Pies)....that puts us in the 8 and West Coast to play this week.....

i'd be asking for a priority draft pick....an extra 2nd round would be fair.

Imagine if it was the Pies/Bombers...Eddie would be calling for a court injunction

[N5 1BH]

The afl have just announced a special moral finalists ribbon is to be awarded to the crows in September.

[Rookie]

Goal umpires now too scared to fart in case they shite their pants, same absolute special arc reviews this round

[Rookie]

Going to be a very open finals campaign, no real stand out IMO, would not be suprised if one of the team in 5-8 make the GF

I think the likely outcome is Brisbane VS Collingwood but it can definitely go a completely different way.

The Crows would have won it easy

[Bomber]

The Dees for me, especially if they win the first final.

Yeah i did, it was very well done.

[Bomber]

Meanwhile Essendon players were almost unrecognizable dressed up as actual AFL footballers in their mad Monday shenanigans.....

Got to be happy today Blues finally made the finals and won , looking forward to big night Friday as we take on Demons .

[eagleboy]
