It's a correct decision Similar to the Harley Reid one last week, there might only be split seconds in it, but if you bump a player after they've kicked it - it's a FK. They are very vulnerable in that position. Correct to pay a Free Kick downfield #AFLHawksGiants

Incorrect decision ❌️ Yeo hasn't dived on it or dragged it under himself. He's simply won the ball on his knees, then immediately attempted to get up and dispose. However, the tackle prevents him from doing so. Should have been no prior, Ball up #AFLEaglesRoos

I'm a firm believer in "team prior", rather than the present system of "player prior". A player who goes and wins a contested ball should not be HTB if tackled soon after Players that receive a hospital handball from a teammate should be HTB. I think that would be much better

Appalling thuggery. Typical of the man. I am pleased the #AFL has stood by McBurney. Who I think will be a good person for the role and improve the standard of umpiring. I look forward to the new Parl Sect for men's behaviour condemning this threatening (and illegal) conduct

Clear 50. It's a clear mark and the Collingwood players have then run over the mark, when not in the marking contest. They are not allowed to do that. This should have been paid. #AFL #AFLNorthPies

Don't like this call. Dempsey is right there and that constitutes immediate pressure in my view. He even begins to run towards Menzie. This is never ordinarily paid, and it is a wrong decision to pay it here. #AFLCatsDons

Human error is not new HDTV with slo-mo replays and social media IS new. The standard of umpiring is below where'd I'd like it be, I'm not sure the list depth is there for 4 umpires. But I have no doubt the standard is better than it was throughout the 20th century. #AFL

An absolutely legendary bloke and umpire In my view, the best to ever do it. He will be sorely missed. Hopefully, he now goes into the media and can provide insight on umpiring decisions/rules as part of broadcasts. Would be a great service to many fans. Thanks Ray #AFL

Incredible commentators say incorrect things so confidently When it hits the goal ump but is yet to cross, the rule is you use the ARC to determine where it WOULD have crossed. As the ump is right on the goal-line, it's pretty easy to work out. 100% correct call last night

Please don't tell me there are people who seriously think this decision is incorrect? You can't clobber a bloke over when the ball is in play. Textbook FK, very dumb from Blakey. Umpire would be umpiring in the country next week if failed to pay that obvious FK. #AFLSwansPies

This is a clear missed 50m penalty. He is NEVER in the marking contest and consequently cannot run over the mark like that. Bad miss #AFLSwansPies

#AFLPiesLions Free kick count 1st half: Brisbane 14 - Collingwood 4 Free kick Count 2nd Half: Collingwood 17 - Brisbane 5 Did umps just switch who they are biased for at HT? Of course not. The team playing better and 1st to the ball will always get more FKs Fantastic game!

Umps only get 1 look, at full speed. But geez, that is a bad FK to miss. #AFLPortCrows

Cameron shephereds the STk player from competing for the mark and doesn't fly for the ball himself. This is a "block FK". You can do it around the ground, but not in a marking contest Great decision by the ump and great explanation from Dale Thomas! Nice to see #AFLSaintsCats

Goal umpire subbed out of the game bleeding after having something thrown at them. Must be a life ban and criminal charges for whoever did it. Anything less would be an outrage. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. #AFLBluesSaints

FK is absolutely there - shoves him to ground over 50m off the ball. That's a FK. As the ball was at the goalsquare, FK is taken from there. Correct decision. Very poor discipline. #AFLFreoPort

I'm still uncomfortable with this interpretation (the rule is time-wasting, how much time wasted?) But it's consistent, and players should know by now. An example where "consistency" is being prioritised over sensible judgement. But can't criticise the umps call her at all

Cracking game #AFLSwansGiants #AFLFinals Strange - I thought was overall well-umpired with the exception of one rule - high contact Few times players clearly contributing to the high contact given FKs, while other genuine high contacts not paid.

Both dangerous tackle FKs are absolutely correct. Arms pinned, head in a vulnerable position and in the first case - directly hit it at force. Channel 7s commentary is absolutely atrocious. #AFLPortHawks #AFLFinals

That was conclusive IMO... #AFLPowerHawks #AFLFinals
