Yeah he got lucky there. Are you suggesting umpires should not pay any more htb decisions because they missed one earlier?

Also, I love Huddo, but boy is he keen to see us go down judging by his commentary today. lol

I see Brisbanes tactics havent change from last time. And the umps are again letting them get away with it.

Probably the wrong term. We are just used to our mob disappearing for periods of time. Luckily it's shorter and less frequent now.

I can sort of agree with that in general but in this situation he hadn't really gathered the ball by the time he was evading the tackle. He was just sort of bobbling it forward.

Meh. It happens the other way too. No point entering a gameday thread if it really bothers you.
Its footy, we all see what we are looking for, even more so when its not going our way.
We wouldnt have Sydney and Essendon fans in here moaning about the hawks free kicks if we were 10 goals up.
There we go, a Hawks fan bemoaning the umpiring... How good is bigfooty?

Three times I saw JOM simply drop the ball once tackled and none of them were called.
It is not corrupt or even incompetence, it is just that one umpire is paying it and the others are not. (and I don't know which umpire is which but the JOM ones were all down the other half/middle of the ground) I have no doubt that if Brisbane were going to the right of screen and JOM did it again he would be pinged like Cox(??) was.
It is my main issue with the umpires in all AFL games. It is clear that they are not on the same page in terms of interpretations.

I'd have to see a replay. The fact the tackle knocked the ball directly down to the ground right as he was trying to knock another arm away didn't help. It looked bad if that makes sense.
I wouldnt be angry if Brisbane got a goal from the same thing, it was there.

Of course not. Just call them all, keep it easy for the fans and players. Can be frustrating, but when you pay peanuts, you get what you pay for.
3 pages of umpire discussion later, no one has actually thought to criticise the terrible decision to handball. If you don't think Cox had prior opportunity, then you must surely think it was insane to handball it to him?
Have we met?
Three of Brisbane's goals have come from really dumb errors on our part.
What's with the throws off the ground? Clarko needs to know that s**t out of them during half time. Get the heads on straight.

From mid 2nd Q both teams started to play the man not the footy. s**t to watch but if thats what the umps want to see today so be it.

Hawks lead i50s 30 : 18.
Lions lead stoppages.
Can they break out of the rusty cage or not, is the question.

The sooner the AFL realise the umpires set the tempo, the better. Make them full-time, accountable and professional. Suddenly we likely won't need zones, as the rules will be enforced properly and the game will stay open.
