By my call, Hawks got about 5 shots at goal from dubious free kicks

What the hell was Smith doing?
He just froze, and when tackled dropped it like slippery soap.

More importantly what was the umpire thinking when he saw it. Oh yeah, Shaun Burgoynes 300 party, don't want to spoil that do we.
Of the optional two that free to Gibson against Walker was the worst

The 50m penalty in the first
The free against Walker was nailed in. Takes his eyes off the ball. Gave the umpire no choice.
The Burgoyne one was the single poor decision of the final quarter.
Except for several incorrect disposal calls not given against Crows players. But no one seems to care about those
My favourite tonight was when Frawley was completely shepherded from going to a marking contest, but that happened earlier in the game so it didn't influence the result. Sort of the 'Eddie Betts' of bullsh&t decisions, so to speak.

The one were Jenkin's threw the ball in our forward line that wasn't pinged incorrect disposal.
But wait we forgot about that one right?
or the one with a couple of minutes left where Stratton threw the ball about 20 or 30m out from Adelaide's goal in the forward pocket.

I am a Hawks fan but I recognise that the wonderful Adelaide team played well, and playing really well means you should win. I've written a letter to the AFL recommending that they review the result of this game, I think everyone should.

And seconds later we had another Adelaide throw that wasn't called again.
This discourse can go on forever.
None of that has anything to do with a free kick. I wish the umpires would learn that too.The free against Walker was nailed in. Takes his eyes off the ball. Gave the umpire no choice.

You're allowed to turn and look at your opponent. It's not always to give away a free kick, often it's to see if you're going to get flattened or just to work out where they are.
Now you can argue it was high contact, or it was marking interference (whatever that may be), but I don't care that Walker turned and looked at his opponent.
It's about as irrelevant as deciding a lookaway handball constitutes a throw.
Wish there was a way to group ignore all Hawthorn supporters on here.
Even the mods have drunk the kool aid and are completely irrational.

I didn't think the game was umpired all that badly.
But when it comes to the big moment in the dying seconds and a player holds the ball in, has prior opportunity to dispose before being tackled, doesn't try to get it out and it spills out without proper disposal then I think that has to be a free kick.
An ump made a big call at one end. Could probably have waived away the Puopolo in the back as incident contact as part of a fair marking contest. Then the other ump at the other end didn't make the call. Both were probably 70/30 free kicks in my mind. Pretty clear without being blatant.

One thing that makes my roflmfao is Eagles supporters consistently coming onto whiny umpiring threads and having a whinge about it themselves. The hypocrisy is astonishing. Consistently the most looked after team for years and years on end.

The old rub of the green.
At present the Hawks seem to be getting their fair share of favourable rubs of the green.
The umps need to be consistent, so whatever they pay in the 1st quarter is payed the same in the 4th quarter.

So long as he hits the ball off the hand it doesn't matter ...the hand with the ball can be moving also

2015 was meant to be your year... but still salty after so much time?
The hand holding the ball must remain stationary. Seriously. Its been that way for maybe 60 years now.
Unless you can point to a rule change in the last week?
