TRSF: Time-wasting frees under microscope, Hardwick's mistake

[@johnnywilliams9985]

Kane. I think the point is that yes, the clock had stopped but the defensive team had extra time to set up before the next play begun, therefore wasting/annulling the game time.

[@AnnoyingInflatable]

exactly it’s more delaying the game rather than time wasting but when the umpire sees it, it should be paid.

[@archie4822]

Wasn’t even half a second, no one’s setting up in that amount of time

[@Snappernose]

Players will just leave ball on the ground and that will take longer, would you like to see that decide a game in a Prelim or GF?? Doubt it, was a rubbish decision.

as a pies man, to be honest i thought that was a soft free, fair to say umpiring was shocking on both sides

[@Tosicc567]

People only complaining now about the time wasting free when its againts the pies lmao Its a rule, its been a rule, get over it lol Even if time is stopped, wasting time makes it take longer for play to start again, meaning the defending team has longer to set up. Hence why the free is played... Also JHF is crazy underrated, dude is close to a top15 player and only getting better. The dogs showed heaps of heart, they got unlucky with injuries and horrible goal kicking yet again

[@ryanpirrone7406]

Its funny how everyone defending the call on Sullivan in the Pies v Freo game are the same people who probably said Rankine shouldn't have been called for running too far. These people complaining that in the dying minutes of a game when the other team looks like a chance to win it that the umps should 'put the whistle away'. Where's the double standard?

[@ManOgwaR]

The double standard is where Brayshaw gets penalised for 'Deliberate' in the dying minutes of that game and a minute later, with a minute left in play, Charlie Dean casually walks up to the boundary line and drops the ball over the line unpressured within a kick of Freo's goal with the scores level and no 'Deliberate' call!

Why can't the Melbourne media give Sydney some credit . Chad was great, but so were many other players

I hear you, dicey situation having a salary cap, a star on a long-term contract & two ruckmen. Referring to the loser of the 2016 GF, the best ruckman for a decade let go to the Tigers , who proceeded to win 3 premierships with him. He still flogs us everytime we play the tigers. Thank heavens , the Dees let Grundy go, to be perfectly honest with you. Maybe Kane has a point, but I reckon Jacko could make a creative and obstructive key player, forward or back, where ever required.

[@paulmatters2641]

There is a difference between interpretation of a rule and discretion to apply a rule. There is NO discretion if a rule is clearly broken which is was by the Collingwood smartarse who threw the ball to Daicos. Whether it cost time is irrelevant.

[@dibbaa23]

This comment makes me feel nothing but pity for your small brain.

[@kevsmagpies1306]

He wasn’t being a smartass though other players do it and the umpires don’t pay it a lot

[@StuTheDon17]

I still don't understand why he threw the ball to his teammate? I knew the rule when I was about 9 years old. You always give the ball to the umpire or leave it on the ground for them to collect. Why even throw it to your teammats? It's just dumb and leaves yourself open to giving away a free kick.

[@kevsmagpies1306]

@@StuTheDon17 what if his teammate was helping him to get up and the ball went to his teammate will the umpire pay the free kick

You spent five minutes talking about Essendon versus Richmond, but you spent one minute talking about GWS v Vigil Geelong and you wonder why people complain about the eastern states Victorian bias seriously that was an awesome performance by GWS against Geelong on the road and deserved more analysis. I had to sit and listen to Dwayne Russel and Hudson commentate ... Basically cheerleading in the commentary box while they call the game was diabolical and why don't you listen back to the game and listen it .... Hudson is a flog and Dwayne Russel belongs in an old peoples home!!! Every time Geelong had the ball their voices would rise and roar... Yeah when GWS got on top and won the game they were calling a funeral!!

It's still the VFL in their eyes mate. I've been a West Coast supporter since the 80's. It's always been this way.

Yes, correcto mundo 😂, old peoples home with a strong contingency of used Cats. ABC radio call was excellent, Harvey & co - callers were reasonably impartial, they gave credit where it was due . Fair difference between Aleer & Alir , do you think?

It may have something to do with a much larger majority of the listeners being Geelong supporters? 🤷‍♂

I'm glad that I'm not the only person who feels that the Melbourne media need to look up bias in a dictionary. I get it that you are from Melbourne but when you are supposed to be calling

Calling a game you are not supposed to openly show any bias. Commentators are supposed to be impartial, even if you favour one team over the other, your professionalism should dictate that you be impartial!

Yes he did Kane he delayed the game so they could get Collingwood defenders back. That's what the delay does. It allows the Collingwood defenders to get back and they do it often late in games and Scott Pendlebury questions. The umpires on every single decision have a look at Scott Pendlebury every time there's a decision he looks at the umpire and says do you know who I am Scott Pendlebury is one of the worst umpire intimidation players I've seen and you might think butter melts in his mouth because he's got Pendlebury but have a deeper look Kane..... You I think you you think you are. God's gift to football knowledge .... The reason Collingwood do that strategy and they've done it often late in games putting the ball on the ground just to save a few seconds

Cornes is so far off the mark with Jackson and Darcy combination it’s no wonder he has not coached and is just a talking head.

[@GingerNinjaPlus]

You've gotta look at how many games they've played together. They can't get their respective roles down because of Darcy coming in and out of the side with injury, which pushes Jacko to flip between dedicated ruck and then forward/ruck. Can't get enough games in a row to build momentum together. They will work, just give them time.to work together. Can't expect them to gel immediately when they barely play together
