Blocking is one of the shittest rules in the game. That would happen 60 times a game and never get called.
It was the most obvious free-kick all night. Talia clearly had visions of the commentators praising his subtle defensive shielding work off-the-ball but was too slow/lazy to actually make a token effort to look like he was contesting.

Also it was more than 5m off the ball so any rules about the marking contest are irrelevant.

Two dumb frees by Talia.

Probably feeling the pressure of not having Doedee and Brown by his side.

Can't do that to end the half. This team has mental lapses that just continue to boggle the mind.

Is it to much to ask to find a ruck that understands when to leave his feet for the ball?? We certainly have a talent for finding the exact guys completely incapable of timing up a leap. It's a perpetual pet peeve for me.

As for the officiating on 15 meters, always nice to tune in to watch an official who knows he is the show :)

Who are the knobs blaming Talia for that? Was a woeful decision.
It was always going to be a free from the moment Talia looked at Ziebell before he blocked him.

It’s a shit rule, but that’s a free 7/10 times.

We gave away two like it last week (Tex and Eddie). Gotta be smarter.

Can't remember a worse half of footy, dreadful by both sides.

ROB being good, gives us alot more when the ball is in dispute.

Tex has been very good, would be better if other players could kick it to him properly.

Puss = Laird, JJ, Talia and our field kicking again and our gameplan or lack thereof.
