Lost 14 secs !!

[Eastern]

Heard Mr. Wallet having a whinge about the clock still running for about 14secs after Moore hit the post and the ball being recalled.

If this is right then someone at the AFL should get a decent foot up the bum. In this age of professionalism, surely there is some technology available that would take the human error out of this !!

[joffaboy]

We will lose the points.

Please delete your post. It will give them ideas !!

[Launcestonsaint]

We should play all our home games at Aurora Stadium. The sirens mighn't work but the clocks do.

[Mr Magic]

We will lose the points.

And be given to Freo as compensation for teh 8 seconds they lost last week.

[bigcarl]

sooks and whingers

[SainterX]

Nah they will give 2 points to the Kangas and 2 to the Dockers for their troubles LOL

[Spinner]

Bye.

Seriously though, does anyone else notice that it happens every other week....its just the last two weeks have been close and noticeable.

How f****** hard is it to time a frigging game.

They do it in basketball correctly for petes sake.

[Sainternist]

Does anyone else here find channel 10's "five minute warning" and then not showing how much time is left stoopid?

[Bernard Shakey]

In Basketcase the refs tell the timekeepers to reset the clock to whatever time they feel like.

Do we want the maggots to have that much control over the time?

If they can't get their signals right, what are the timekeepers supposed to do?

Very annoying i mean the coaches would no how long is left why can't we no.

It builds more excitement when ur racing the clock

[perfectionist]

Why does Ch 10 do it? Because they wanted to be different to Ch 9 all those years ago and ego stops the morons from admitting that it's a stupid idea.

Do the media have the countdown clock? If not, how would they know that the clock kept running? Is it recorded on some other tape? If not, we are never going to know the truth are we?

RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace says the club will "absolutely" be making a complaint to the AFL after it is believed roughly 15 seconds were lost during the dying stages of the Tigers dramatic three-point loss to St Kilda at Telstra Dome on Saturday night

Is that serious. i did hear on the way home from he footy that they may replay the last 14 seconds but I really didnt think the AFL would do it.

[Dan Warna]

you can bet your bottom dollar if that was sydney who lost 17 seconds they'd farm us out to do it again, however they don't care about richmond.

Yes, Wallace is squealing. If he had a brain, he would realise that in this case the extra 15 seconds, or whatever, would have made no difference at all. Riewoldt marked the ball and the siren sounded. The time that he took to kick the ball - 30 seconds at least - would normally have been counted off the clock - much more time elapsed that was supposedly lost.

If the ball had been free in the Richmond forward line that would have been a different matter, but if my aunty was a man she'd be my uncle.

Having said that, clocks should be right - and I favor the countdown clock at the game on the screen.

The only problem with what you say is that because the siren rang he had to have a shot. If it didnt ring he may have passed to someone closer.

Spot on.

I am no defender of Wallet, however I heard the whole presser and what he said made sense. It was more a go at the over officias AFL and their petty please explains and fines for, as Wallace said, "not blowing our noses correctly", but the timekeepers cant stop the clock at such a crucial time of the game.

Riewoldt had to take a shot and couldn't attempt to pass to anyone.

In saying that whe the AFL took the points from us in 2006, their was evidence on YouTube of 8 seconds being wiped off the clock in the final qtr, however everyone just dismissed it.

The AFl and Anderson are incompetent idiots and are shown to be petty tyrants and hypocrites.

Good on Wallace. He is not whinging that it cost them the game, he is whinging about the AFL's incomptence.

[perfectionist]

Now let me get this clear - the player knows there are only a few seconds left - let's say he knows there are 14 seconds left (which he can't unless there is a screen clock -players get a one minute call from the runner), but with 14 seconds left he was going to pass to someone in the arc which had 30 players in it. Yes, could be. Even then, he would have used at least ten seconds waiting for someone to lead and as he kicked the siren would have sounded. Or, in the fourteen seconds the martians could have landed or an asteroid could have hit the earth and destroyed everyone.

Yes may be unlikely, however the fact is he had no option at all. He was over 50 metres from goal on tired legs, would surely have looked for a option. May have kicked it straight to a Saints player of a Tigers player who misses, who knows.

The point Wallet is making which IMHO is a good one, is that 14 secs at such a crucial time is totally unacceptable considering the AFL's petty stance on minor things.

And, if you have read what I wrote I made the exact same point.
