Jake Spencer (but in my head I just call him "Cousin It") is 27, presumably a free agent at some point.
Any relation to Frank ?.

what they think the player is thinking. ???
and not telling the ump to open his @#$%&* eyes...
Golden rule of umpiring ( any sport ), adjudicate what you SEE, not what you THINK !!!!!.
So blame the rules committee.This. 100%. It's sliding into the area of total and utter bullshit that an umpire of any sport is supposed to guess what the player is thinking when adjudicating and making decisions.
Naaah bullcrap. The ump had it coming and it was overdue. That Stevic is a world class knob jockey
Normally I'd agree but it was Mitchell that gave Hill the twin 50's and Stevic was surprisingly good on Saturday. It was consistently the other two that showed a bias against us.
I have been hanging out to see Balic play more than anyone. I watched him do endless Forrest Gump impersonations at Freo oval and have always been positive about him and the youth in general.Your highlighting a mistake that didn't turn out to be serious or impact the scoreboard against us . How about pointing out the positives of the performance of a young player In just his 2ND game. He actually kicked one of goals late in the 3rd qtr that kept us in the game . How about being positive and talking Harley up for maintaining his composure and slotting that critical goal.@salim malik Dudley docker

If you read between the lines that's what I'm doing. No umpire should be forced into a position where they have to guess what a player is thinking to decide whether or not to pay a free. In any sport.
I don't think he should've paid the free, as he could've "guessed" that Kersten was having a shot at goal, just as easily as he guessed that he was just trying to gain metres and going for touch. Either way, he shouldn't be put in that position and therefore it's a bullshit rule. Last 90 seconds of a game, blokes are exhausted, play is insane, a guy kicks it 70m towards his goals... and it bounces out. He could have just been too buggered to kick it 8m to the left of where it went over the boundary.
Like estibador said, if it happened to bounce through the sticks - was he deliberately trying to kick it out of bounds or was he aiming for the goal?
Too many 'what-ifs' make it a bullshit rule, and the umpires boss defending it is talking gobshyte saying he got it right, when the best he was doing was guessing.
The Zaharakis one is as indefensible as the Kersten one.

Don't worry about Danny, he is fiercely protective of HarleyI have been hanging out to see Balic play more than anyone. I watched him do endless Forrest Gump impersonations at Freo oval and have always been positive about him and the youth in general.
I just pointed out a small error which was visible in the final minute. Sorry to upset anyone and sound negative. The last thing I want is enemies.
You can't be serious in actually defending that decision with that reasoning?It's as simple as Kersten was in no realistic position at all to kick for goal. He was kicking for space, whether he fluked the goal or if it didn't go out at all isn't relevant. You can criticize the rule itself but it was enforced correctly. Of all the dodgy umpiring calls this is an odd one to focus on.

Not a bad stop gap between Sandilands and Darcy.He was drafted in 2007, spent 2008 with the dragons, debut in 2009.
He signed a one year extension last season to carry him to the end of 2017, I would expect him to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season if you were interested in taking him. But he does average about 4 games a season.
