In most cases don’t players “draw” a free kick or gain a free kick due to the opposition player doing something wrong according to the umpire? I can’t see any logic in the player receiving the umpires decision for a free kick, being hounded for just that, receiving the free kick. Reversely, I can’t see any logic for a player not receiving a free kick, for an action of the tackler that should attract one from the umpire, being hounded

Got to give them credit where it's due, they were fine tonight. Sure there were some missed free kicks both ways, but there wasn't anything that really stood out as a howler.

They were ridiculously trigger happy on holding the ball, but that suits our game plan perfectly. We kicked probably at least 5-6 directly from free kicks within 30m of goal.

Mate they were better than usual.
But Melbourne still had a slight advantage compared to us

Ginni even got 1 tonight and he looked like a kid at Xmas with a huge smile on his face.

You were watching a different game. They were horrendous tonight. Especially
Stephens(12). More than a couple of howlers

Ginni's reaction was the highlight of the 1st half!!!

Stephen's hates us, always has, but the other 2 more than made up for it. You cannot seriously complain about that game?

They were shocking until the last quarter, then they were fantastic when it counted

Inconsistencies around holding the ball/incorrect disposal is what gets me.

I noticed Ash got away with a throw and 7 mentioned and replayed it.

I can't believe the deliberated Melbourne got away with and then we get pinged

Elliott should of got a 50 after having clearly been pushed after he marked the footy. Fact.
It pains me to see that we never get the same treatment as the opponent. The list goes on and on.
Can someone help me out with the daicos slam tackle and holding the ball rule. he clearly should have been given the opportunity to stay on his line and prop before being told to play on.

The umpire decided correctly that he took a step forward and had played on before stopping. It’s harsh but I paid one 35m out from goal in a tight game 2 weeks ago so I can’t complain

Eddiesmith as an umpire can you please shine a light on this? I noticed the very same thing and was bloody bewildered
