Richmond were done htb about 5 times in the 3rd quarter. That's half of your differential right there.

He's not lifted off the ground. He falls over and is in between steps so there is a split second there is nothing touching the ground.

Anyone whinging about the Saints game, what free kicks didn't you agree with?

The crowd isn't going to influence the umpire into calling a free when nothing has happened. If there is a 50/50 call then they may help but then you can't really argue as it was a 50/50 call to start with.

I think it comes down to where the kick is. Often if its in the defensive 50 they call play on to get the game moving. Even the commentators were joking in our game about a couple of decisions where it was clearly at least 20 metres but called to play on.

If you attempt a bump and hit the head its a ban. Surely everyone knows this by now. It was clumsy by Sandilands he should have just gone the ball he most likely would have got the hit out even with the 3rd man up.

I dont care if a player moves a metre or two when kicking for goal. It would make very little difference. As long as its kicked from behind the mark then who cares.

I dont understand why people are pissed off about the Ballantyne one in the first quarter. If Ballantyne didn't act like such a ******* all the time and niggle every 2 seconds they wouldnt have their eyes on him ready to call a free. Suban is the same. Just play the game

That's what I thought. The ball wasn't in the North players reach so you cant really say Fyfe was going the ball. He tried to knock him away from it.

He was hungry for some potato

I'm more surprised Priddis just accepted it and said nothing.

I dont like the guy but not much in that. Definitely not as bad as people are making out.

Didnt think there was much in this one. Just a poor late attempt at a spoil

It didnt look that bad even though the amount of blood. Chapman looked like he dropped just so it got noticed

TBH I thought it just looked a lot worse live than it was. When I watched the footage again he was watching the ball going for the spoil and never hit Wingards head. If Wingard never went to hospital for a check up it wouldn't even be a big deal.

He actually had his eyes on the ball for most of its flight until the last second then it was too late.

Amazing people seem to forget and just concentrate on the last few minutes. Darling's clear mark that was taken off him which cost us a certain goal. Jumping on Mackenzies back in the defensive 50 that got called holding the ball and gave a shot on goal to Saints. Darling was fairly obviously...

The one I'm hating at the moment is the free for in the back on the bottom of a pack. Sometimes there is barely any contact at all for a free to be given. If they're trying to contest the ball just let them go at it. Its not like its dangerous or anything.

The phantom goal in the 2009 GF

18 second mark. Even one of the commentators says miles over.

I thought it was the other angle (the one directly in line with the goal line with the post in front of the ball) that confirmed it was over. You could see the majority of the ball on the other side and clearly figure out where the line and ball would of been. For the ball to have not of crossed...

Why is there a 23 page thread on a guy that has thrown his head back twice? Once when he belted himself in the face and the other from high contact.

1 week my guess. Will definitely get something..

WCE got 3 goals from frees. Carlton got 2 goals from frees. Hardly worth talking about really. Not sure why Carlton supporters are so pissed off.

No softer than when someone gets a 50 metre penalty for language.

Why wont people realise that players aren't ducking their head, they are lowering their body so they are making it harder for them to tackle. For example you see Shuey sometimes running on a 45 degree angle to protect his body. Its a smart tactic not cheating. They can still be tackled without...

No luck at all hey. Just conveniently forget all the frees you got in the first quarter, Hurn being called to play on only after a couple of seconds in the last quarter which resulted in a goal, lucky bounces near goals etc.

All the Carlton supporters saying the umps won it for us need to give it a rest. The Blues got a load of freebies at the start and there were no free kicks in the latter part of the game to either team. It was there to win in the end and you didnt do it. They were over officiating in the...

My moneys on 1 week.

There was definitely some sort of hold there and as soon as the whistle went off I knew it was for that but still I thought it was quite minor and considering where it was and the point of the game, probably should of been left alone.
