Umpires have completely lost the plot.

Would genuinely be hilarious if the Pies lose this because of a non score review and ump not liking the ball thrown back to him.

That's the most bizarre decision since Jarrod Waite was penalised for punching the ball after our opponents kicked a goal tapping itover the fence, giving them a second goal

It is a free for time wasting. Just dumb from the pies

It was a technicality, the rule is the ball has to be returned to the umpire...

99/100 times umps will just use common sense there.

Having said that, they probably owed Freo that one after that bs downfield free they gave the Pies in the 1st quarter.
 
I like it to when a free kick is paid if the player doesn't give it straight back or passes it to a teammate first it's fifty.

We just say the player was silly...

Same concept. I'm ok with it being paid... But I do need to look how often they miss it.
 
Alex Pearce is a class footballer and a class individual.
 
Allows defence more time to set up
As does a score review. Just part of the game. But it definitely wasn't wasting time as the clock wasn't running. An umpire with a feel for the game would warn him and get the ball thrown up within a couple of seconds.

I would be mortified if one of our young players got done for that and it cost us a win.
