Everyone knows I love the maggots...but there was one decision last night that left me totally bemused. Meant nothing in the scheme of the match, but impossible to explain the decision.
With 10 to go in the last, on our forward 50, Garner was paddling the ball in front of himself trying to take possession. Buckley came from the other direction and the two collided, both with heads down over the ball.
The whistle went and Buckley got the kick. At the time I couldn't work out what had happened, and just saw it again on the replay and am even more confused.
Surely the bloke playing the ball has right of way.
Perhaps just another example of their complete inability to work under the current high contact rules.
