Fine line, but you gotta call that play on I think.

If it were us, we would be screaming about the no call also
And if it was Darcy Moore the comms crew would be say how brilliantly he did to not give away the free. Ralphie is a silly fellow of the first order, "wasn't looking at the ball and chopped his arms" yeah na mate.
 
It can't be chopping the arms if you connect with the ball though.

No free for mine, was beautifully done by West Coast legend Craig Starcevich. So glad we've got him and Lachie McNeale on the roster next year.
 
Straight sets is also more common than ever tenfold since the bye. Before that it was extremely rare. Port 2001, West Coast 2007, Freo & Geelong 2014. Three seasons in 15. Since then?

Hawthorn 2016
Hawthorn 2018
Brisbane 2019
Brisbane 2021
Melbourne 2022
Melbourne, Port Adelaide 2023
GWS 2024
Adelaide 2025

It's turning into a formality.
Didn't freo make the grandfinal in 14
 
I have no idea why the Pies played Mihocek over McStay. I get that nobody wants to lose their spot for such a big game but if the player isn’t going to put his hand up and say he’s well below 100% then it’s up to the coaches/selectors to make the call.

Both him and Jeremy Howe looked like injured old men which is not great when you’re playing a side as good as Brisbane.

It makes it all the more sweeter that his Dad was a Collingwood player.

That's is a free kick every day of the week during the home and away season. But the umpiring is completely different in finals - you can just see it they let so much more go and it has to be completely obvious for them to pay free kicks in a final.

Not sure why they don't just umpire this way in the home and away season. Starcevich does enough to give the umpire a reason not to pay it (looking at the ball & arguably gets the ball).

Tom Cole would've stumbled over his own 2 feet and head-butted Elliott in the nuts.
