This is just a pussy game now, you can't even touch anyone else without giving away a free kick.
I've followed Afl since i was 5 years old, but i don't think i can continue with this politically correct bullshit.
your right he did it hit his foot while he was being lifted 4 feet in the air! if it went through the sticks it would be called a goal so thats correct disposal!
Pisses me off that the Eagles get criticised for ducking but so does Joel Selwood. Then they get criticised for throwing instead of handballing but other players are throwing the ball yet the Eagles cop the criticism.
I dont understand how when umpires are told to start paying close attention to players sliding in feet/knees first into a contest that after that players are informed and then punished more heavily if they continue to do it but when umpires continually make the wrong decision about players playing on off a mark that the umpires are in no way punished for their mistakes? Hypocritical.
each week, gieschen is getting increasingly more frustrating. His answers seem to change every week and while I can understand that it is a week by week thing he needs to actually just accept sometimes that the umpires get calls wrong and actually say that rather than give some kind of set answer thats just like 'in these cases we'd prefer the umpires to pay it' that makes it no clearer. And its obvious the players are unsure as well where the line is being drawn now with tackles.

when Rodan does it, it is play on, when Stevie J does it, 50m. BE CONSITANT (ideally consistently good, but at least consistently shit).

That said. Much respect to the Umpires...they have a very hard job. Upset at the current rule interpretations/MRP atm.
