So if there is insuffient evidence to say it hit the post then surely that’s a goal and not umpires call?
No, if there is insufficient evidence to say it hit the post or didn’t hit the post you go with the umpires call. As they do every single time, except of course at the Gabba last September.

Firstly well done to the Tiges, gave a us a whipping in the wet. Genuine question re: umpiring and chaos ball. There were several times I saw hack kicks used (predominantly Richmond, and indicitive of the playing style they've ushered in) where I think dangerous play should have been called given a player with hands nearly on the ball.

Not sure what others think, personally I think the guy with his head over the ball should be rewarded vs the swinging leg. Thoughts?

PS not saying we weren't favoured tonight, just a general question re: the way the game is trending.

Um hes not commentating. Pretty sure Basil and Nate Jones is.
My bad... :$ Apologies to Pav. I was watching on Kayo and probably got a bit confused with the switches between the 7 team (Basil, Jones) and Pavlich doing his stuff for Fox Footy during the breaks.

But my point still stands.. Nathan Jones was utterly useless tonight as a special comments guy.

I just don't understand how Channel 7 can spend so much money on the TV rights and then ruin every telecast with a bunch of idiot commentators who talk-talk-talk... they never shut up, but they actually say nothing.

Well I am gutted with any narrow Freo loss.

Saying that, congratulations to tigers for winning.

They made use of the ball and made less mistakes too.
Felt like the intensity of the game was super high… entertaining contest. I thought freo would run over the top in the last but pleased the Tiges were able to grind out the last 10 mins with some smart play

Agree, thought you guys were hard done by and should have got another 10 or so frees.

there was one clear one that should have been a free to freo (maybe dusty or balta airshot out of the backline?) imo but the others I thought were in line with how they usually umpire it.
But it was more the soft touch one way frees not paid back the other way for the whole first three quarters that stood out.

Lots of hacking but didn't see anything I thought was overly dangerous tbh.

Yep just cant bump these days when contesting for the ball. not unless you get low
It seems contested footy and even tackling are under increasing threat of growing levels of new types of interpretation. Not to mention HTB and push in the back are already highly endangered species.

Good rebuttal.
It's actually a common trait of coaches in their 3rd year +

They feel like they need to control the game like it's chess and slowly strangle the initiative from the players because essentially they don't trust them
What is illuminating however is despite this desire to manically control, when the game is good as gone they let the shackles go and invariably the team plays well.

This isn't a jab at your club as it seems to be the arc of a lot of coaches

Having said that, this game was lost because of the coaching
