Imagine if players didn't have to bounce, and throwing the ball was allowed. It would be so much faster and free flowing, not to mention easier to umpire. Not a suggestion, just pondering what the game might look like with those two rule changes.
Of course it should be consistent, I’ll lead the charge if you like. Unfortunately the umpires make mistakes with every rule.
The “outrage” should be directed at the incorrect decisions, not the correct ones. It’s not hard.

You do realise no one in the Adelaide forward line actually marked the kick regardless?

Unfortunately I couldn’t watch the game. Adelaide fans must be blaming the umpires again.

go google how many steps a sprinter takes to run 100 metres.1.5m???
Go put a tape measure on the ground and show me someone that covers 1.5m in one stride?
If you really don't know how far people step when running, you are going to be amazed.

The Crows lost because, once again, there's too many players that lack composure. Keays going for glory instead of passing off to anyone of three free players would have iced 30 seconds off the clock. Instead, it's a turnover and a coast-to-coast goal to de Goey.
That's the game, if Keays had any composure, then the free against Rankine doesn't happen.

God some of you guys are touchy. I've said the free kick against Rankine was there, I've said that Schultz should have gotten a free. I've said that you guys did well to take your chances. I'm not sure if you're trying to point out a contradiction in my post that isn't there, or if you're making a cheap gag about a typo.
I don't think it's ludicrous to suggest that the Crows should have won that game given their dominance in the last quarter.
That doesn't change the fact that you're a better team than what you showed today, I really don't get why any Pies fans would take exception to my comment.

Yeah that's what I thought and said at the time. The Keays shot on goal was the moment. Complete brain fade that showed no understanding of the situation. Arguably same with ROB playing on to Rachele, though I understood that more given how terrible he is with ball in hand.

Said it the time it looked a good 20m and it ended up being 24.2m so fair play to the ump for calling it.
Few decisions during the day that could have gone either way but this wasn’t one of them

Look, it was the crows getting towelled at clearances that truly cost us the win, but it would have been nice if the umpire put his whistle away on that one like they did with the dawson head high contact with 10 seconds to go in the game last year when he was dead in front 20m out to win that game for us.
We got screwed last year and this year when it would have benefited us, low and behold, the umps choose to police a rule they had not done all day.
Anyway, its done now and you guys won because you belted us at the clearances and we were on the defensive all day because of it. If/when we work out how to dominate in that area, we might get a win against your mob

I couldn't care less about the result, but there's no way he ran more than 15 and definitely not 24.2m.
He took 10 steps, so they're saying that each step was roughly 2.5m long? I don't think so.
I reckon some kicks went further than that and were called play on.
Even if it wasn't called, there's no guarantee that the Crows would've scored.
EDIT: I've watched the lab again and changed my mind. Ran too far.
I'm just happy it was paid against a team other than hawthorn for once
I hate the Cows as much as the next man but if I hear another word about shit umpires for the rest of this season, from you Magpie peckerheads I will go full tirade.
Kick outs is the one I reckon players get far too much leeway with. I'm sure there are many examples, but I remember there was one in the last quarter where Noble would've run at least 20m out of the square without a bounce before kicking.
But I think the AFL doesn't mind seeing this, so it won't be adjudicated properly.
