Spida's rushed behind
Great play from an experienced player. Don't want to let them mark after the siren - punch it through for a behind son!

Stupid stupid stupid!!Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

The Triple M commentators said that the point conceded by Spida might be crucial right after he punched it. How right they were...Kirky is everything you want in a Captain

He should've just marked it.My Pokemon brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "Wanna trade cards?"

In his defence, it did seem to jag back into the goal - it wasn't his intention.Comment

That was the contentious issue for me because technically it is dead as soon as a player touches the ball in terms of a free - that's what the ABC commentators were saying. They said it should have been no point and two damn draws with the same score on the same night (at least).
I was more pissed off about that behind than the damn goal over the boundary, etc.Comment

Will be interesting to see if the ump that gave the all clear is around next week.Premiers 09,18,33,05

My understanding of the rule is that ball has to go off Everitt's hand (if he decides to punch at the ball, which he did in this case) and go though the goal-line on the full for a rushed behind to be awarded. If the siren has gone and the ANY of the three field umpires have brought an end to the quarter by raising their two arms to to signal "full time" then once the ball hits the ground ITS DEAD and it doesn't matter if the ball then goes though the goal-line.
That clearly wasn't the case tonight and therefore a point shouldn't of been awarded so you would "think" the AFL might have to look into the decision and at least go public with what the correct ruling is (regardless of what it is) and if the umpires got it wrong the Swans "could" have strong grounds to say we should be awarded a draw here (which as we all know can and has been done). Likelyhood of that happening is next to nothing but if they got THIS decision wrong we should create a fuss, the Out of Bounds of just plain back luck.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Robbie that's exactly the same way I was thinking (your explanation was much better) and that's what the ABC commentators were also saying.Comment

The ball was dead the moment it hit Spida's fist. That decision was scandalous. The game should be declared a draw.

Stupid from Spida. I don't care about the ruling or not, he should of just marked it. He was in perfect position to do it.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.
