Free kick against Milne??????????????????????

[barks4eva]

Can someone, anyone explain to me WT* that free kick was paid for?

I know Milne is one of the most hated players in the AFL by opposition fans and now I'm left with the feeling perhaps the umpire ( Roseberry ? ) is no different and has a similar prejudice against Milne!

Can someone please explain which rule was adjudicated and explain exactly why this free kick was paid?

plugger66, you want to go first?

[suss]

If you're referring to the one in the last quater, it was for dragging down the Geelong player. It was probably the biggest howler of the day.

[saintbrat]

and whilst they are at it - why he wasn't given a free for being legged in the first quarter

Thanks for the chance. I am glad to rate my opinion so highly. It was paid because the umpire thought Milne grabbed his arm and swung him around but on the replay it doesnt really show that. i would think it was the wrong decision.

You've been watching the game long enough to know that a player must be deemed to have committed an offence when tackled and thrown to the ground when not in possession of the ball.

Under such circumstances, the free kick must be paid to the tackler.

Warms the heart to see you saying an umpire made a mistake plugger...really does.

I guess we are all human and mistakes happen. We have the 4 points so alls well that ends well.

[GrumpyOne]

It looked a pretty dreadful decision to me on the TV, and couldn't pick up the miked umpire's comments. (Often a source of enlightenment )

There were some suss one's going the other way too.

They make many mistakes as do players. i have never said otherwise. All I say is they never deliberately favour sides because it is an illogical argument.

[Selhurst Saint]

The umpire motioned that Milne swung his elbow back at the Geelong pr1ck.

I was on the other side of the ground so I can't shed any light other than that.

[joffaboy]

It was a dreadful decision that could have cost us a goal.

Vosso was the umpire and it was dreadful, truly dreadful.

Really Vosso should be dropped and so should that little Chamberlain for the terrible advantage for the Cats.

[perfectionist]

On the replay I see two actions. First, Kelly grabbed Milne and then Milne locked onto Kelly's arm. Alas, the umpire only saw the second action. It was not dissimilar to one earlier in the day when Kosi dropped a mark and then went to tackle Scarlett before he'd taken possession of the ball. Scarlett grabbed Kosi's arm to make it look like his opponent has grabbed him, something he does a lot (like in the last quarter).

We can get better in these circumstances making sure that we don't give even 25% of a free, in case it is paid.

[#1GILL]

can't help but think if we DID lose then the media would be saying we got a raw deal with the umps. They will always try to be negative when possible, i cannot understand this.

Mate..... if we dropped umpires every time they made a mistake, we'll be down to you, me and Stinger taking the field. Don't know about you guys, but I doubt if I could keep up with the play.

Maybe Tom Cruise would be available.... he moved pretty fast on the last Mission Impossible movie, but it would be hard to keep torturing his girlfriend every week to get that outcome.

Perhaps if tackled, your name is Stephen Milne and you have not yet taken possession of the ball, then apparently some umpires might deem this to be so.

An absolutely staggering decision!

Not too mention Kossie being absolutely manhandled in the last quarter in a marking contest, as obvious as they come, yet no free kick was paid.

AND I won't even bother mentioning how many times Geelong when tackled fed off the ball with NRL rubgy passes

and the rest etc...etc...

and Scarlett the filthy lowlife scum dog arsehole whinges about an umpiring decision,

anyway back on topic,


Is it possible that the umpire in question is actually a Milne hater and paid the free against him in a deliberate act to penalize him?

I have seen some weird decisions before and this one is right up there!

"No Steven, that's not yours Steven, don't act dumb..." or some crap like that.

Obviously Milney has to know that he can't be infringed upon by Geelong players. He knows it's an unwritten rule of the game.

Same mindset as some on this site who can only see the game through eye. They have to have something to complain about.

I would tend to agree, although I do think they can get a little swept up by the crowd at times, and in the emotion of some games.

The only time I have ever felt like things had been deliberate was the "Whispers In The Sky" game....but thats a whole other story!

I was on the other side of the ground so I can't shed any light other than that.

The umpie clearly made a motion that suggested Milne had slung the Geelong player to the ground. I guess that's how he saw it. Didnt look like that when watching live, and certainly didnt appear that way on the replay either. Just a mistake I think....

Perhaps the Geelong player shouldn't be riding him into the ground then.

Perhaps Vozzo is a Milne hater and he deemed that riding Milne into the ground without him having taken possession of the ball was indeed worthy of a free kick to the Geelong player.

So that's what it was for
It's taken nearly 24 hours for me to find that out

spot on...it was 'cause i don't like you rule and because i can.....

This is exactly how i saw it. I thought it was a massive gamble from Milne, who could have very easily recieved a free if the ump was in a different position, but took the gamble and got busted.

Exactly the same as Kosi's in the first quarter...
