Melbourne got right on top in the last quarter but how can umpires be so inconsistent in applying the rules? 26 to 15 free kicks after a bit of evening up in junk time. In the back paid to Melbourne but not Hawthorn. Trips in the goal square ignored. Dropping the ball and rewarding tackling - isn't that a rule?
The worst thing about AFL football is the how much influence that umpires have on the game. They have more impact on the result than any individual player.
