hawkman
Hall of Famer
There were 2 in the 2nd quarter that really annoyed me. Libba drops it front of our goal, they sweep it up the other end and kick a goal. Bont just drops it cold, then a couple of seconds later the Hawthorn slightly falls into his back and they pay that free kickI lost my sh*t a few times today but not at players (well may be sometimes) but at the umpiring.
They had no influence on the outcome - that was on us, but on the inconsistency and the lack of calls when they were clearly there
At half time there had been 66 tackles (between them) and only two frees paid. Both Derm and King commentated on it and complained about how the htb rule was back where it was at the beginning of the season and they wish it was back at being over called rather than not called.
Watching the dogs today you can understand why this didn’t sit well with Beveridge at the time - it certainly wouldn’t suit their throw game. The amount of throws, incorrect disposal and htb decisions they got away with today blew my mind
