Lol Collingwood are such an arsey team
They have not called running too far all season
He definitely went too far but they run further from the average kick in
Once again an objectively correct call that's pops up once in a blue moon.
And almost always in favour of a big Victorian team.

That is definitely a call that will only go to the big Vic clubs playing at home.
I think he only took 8 after the bounce.....
It's 15 metres not 15 steps. He would have run 20 give or take.
The real issue is blokes running the best part of 25 metres from kick ins and the umpires not giving a shit.
Those clown pick that moment to pay one that was at best marginal?
Far out I dunno why the footy gods shine on Collingwood so much
J Daicos runs more than that every single time he gets the ball.
I’m a pretty decent judge in real time and I didn’t even get a twinge of too far. I was actually confused about what the free was for. Didn’t even occur to me that was too far!
Doesn’t mean Crows win but gee that’s a bad look. Feels like every controversial call this year has gone in favor of a Vic club.

What is the AFL without umpires making subjective game defining decisions to ensure a victory to one of their big 4?

Umpire thinking once again they are
The game.
F me
The game.

That umpire must have been fanging for it. Wasn't even close to too far.

Gee that free kick was borderline at best
I agree it was a shit call because it's not consistent with how the rule has been umpired this season.
Someone will measure how far he ran exactly and I'm certain it will be over 15 metres and an objectively correct call.
I reckon almost every play on kick in and about 10-15 times a game you could find examples of players running further however.
It just doesn't surprise me they finally called it when it won a big Vic club the game.

Once again the maggots get involved in a close one...absolutely no feel for the game. When it comes to close ones like that it should be like the finals, only pay the extremely obvious ones and let them play!!!
So far this season:
Carlton beating Freo
Essendon beating Adelaide
Collingwood beating Adelaide
All with significantly controversial umpiring decisions influencing the outcomes of the above games.
That may be the difference been 1-2 big Victorian clubs in finals and 3.
I'm sure the AFL is happy.

As someone that worked as an electrician often using the method for a rough measure of a distance running cable, a full stride is surprisingly close to 1m. Imo if he only took 15 steps or strides there no way he ran more than 15m.
