@1116sen 18.14 OFFICIALS
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against an Official who:
(c) interferes with the football, an opposition Player, an Umpire or general play

How can being on the ground during the match be seen as anything other than interfering with the general play?

@lenphil29 Bro bevo literally was on the field of play infront of the interchange Stuart. At worst it’s technically under +2.5m travelled per bounce which is well under what’s ordinarily called. Waterman ran 31m against Collingwood with a bounce 3 weeks ago .. +3m is nothing

@RileyBev @AFLcomau Mate you’re a journalist, should be pretty easy to add a correction to his obviously incorrect understanding of the rule.

@kanecornes @GoldCoastSUNS Would be fireballs greatest failure if Maynard isn’t on the phone Monday morning

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@hasumpstuffedup @fletch235 @BySamMills It can be a realistic attempt to spoil the ball as well. You’re allowed to specify into a spoil, Jeremy Howe has made a career of it.

6:29 - within 30 minutes would be nice, glad I wasted my time making my way here

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@LNER hey it’s 6:18 if you cancel trains might be worth actually opening your Travel centre when it’s supposed to open in Edinburgh l

@AflGlicko I don’t think it’s after the play, crafty players like Naicos (as he did early) can turn you inside out and look silly. He put body on to make sure it’s out

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@AflGlicko Suggest watching the replay, was side on, did get taken off balance but Reid’s own momentum took him (hence why none of the freo players remonstrated with Maynard). Reid lost his footing which made it look bad

@hasumpstuffedup Mate every single time Dylan Moore is tackled he suplexes himself onto his head.

@sirswampthing @AFL @CollingwoodFC What’s the most? Guessing Crouch brothers had more 2017

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@LMcKirdy7 This is amazing, thanks!

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@SweeneyPaddy9 Yeah you can’t tackle Naicos and clearly grab the jumper when he hasn’t taken possession, agree

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@AflGlicko Yeah he decelerates and then accelerates to play on, watch the stutter step and go. Then he stops to bait 50

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@bradeningram @FootyonNine He played before the umpire blew the whistle lol

@DavidZita1 @DavidZita1 have you seen a full version of the memo? The rule is time wasting, and this is guidance on interpretation. I imagine there’s more context in the memo around the intent of the enforcement.

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@brayden_cocks The rule: Time Wasting: where a field Umpire is of the opinion that a Player is unnecessarily causing a delay in play.

[Jack Smith @JackSeagull]

@rohan_connolly People saying technically correct to a completely grey rule. Laws of the game, clock was stopped.

Time Wasting: where a field Umpire is of the opinion that a Player is unnecessarily
causing a delay in play.
