As Eddie said, if you pay a free kick for being stupid/pushing the boundaries without breaking them, you'd pay 100 free kicks a game. Ridiculous. Don't know how you can defend that one tbh.
Mate I agree it was soft, and if you pay that you pay 100. But he was making a cock of himself from the get go, and the umpire putting out spotfires started by him (this is Hayden balyntine were talking about, pest of the century) no doubt the umpire had told him to stop for 10 minutes and he picked q soft one to keep control of th e game and prevent a meleee. I agree it's soft but it's like a kid who's been told to behave all day and eventually gets a whack for something minor.
Agains, it's not right but he should have had a few paid against already and if he's not such a knob ( it's balentyne ffs) it wouldn't happen

Stephen Hill is amazing, Hawks being gifted 2 early goals has destroyed what should have been an epic game. Absolutely ropeable right now.
As you should be. Umpires (Stevic) have been worse than last years prelim. Almost all of the decisions have come from him. Absolutely rancid filth from stevic. He paid 3 7metre kicks all to Hawthorn, didn't recall a bounce that was outside the circle to Hawthorn's favour. Someone played a Hawthorn player to play on advantage (in fairness he didn';t want it) then retracted it which I have never seen. Didn't pay at least 2 blatant drag downs. Didn't pay an obvious throw in Freo's 50. Paid 2 rancid Free's that led to direct goals to Hawthorn (a third if you count the 8 metre mark). Didn't pay 50 when a Hawthorn player knocked the ball out of a players hands. Didn't pay a 50 when the Hawthorn player had to be told 3 times to get behind the mark, which he did, then he ran 3 metres over the line and got another chance. Didn't pay a free to Balla when he got decked off the ball by lake in the 50. Paid a holding the ball against Freo when Hale was the one that dived on it. Almost all decisions made by Matt Stevic. Matt Stevic is an out and out cheat. Everyone knows it, but the AFL does nothing about it.

Two comments up until half time -

Firstly, the umpiring makes the goddam WWF look like legitimate sporting organisation. Jeff Kennett giving no ****s after his boy toy Abbott was kicked out?

Secondly, Bruce should be banned from commentating football for life. Legit has no idea, and I have no idea how he has coasted along for this long when he clearly has signs of dementia, but his 'performance' tonight is like a press Red for Ed shitshow. Please hire Gerard Whately next year, or bring back Anthony Hudson. Literally anyone else but this twat.
You should go to zero volume. It's quite liberating. Those guys including Ling are unlistenable.
