Not sure how you could make a call either way - the video evidence was very inconclusive. Looked to me to clearly be two separate contacts and the goal ump was in the best position.
As for people blaming Mooney for losing us the game - grow up. He executed a perfect tackle and only got penalised because Gwilt leant forward and forced him onto his back. Whether it is a free kick or not, it shouldn't be, especially not in the wet. It's no better than being penalised for a high tackle when someone ducks.
Perhaps you should change your sig to: We are Geelong, the second greatest team of all
Was an obvious free kick. Its astonishing how many threads have been created on this topic.
you ARE NOT allowed to tackle someone in the back. Its the rules of the game.
They are pretty bloody lenient if you at least turn the guy in the tackle, Mooney didn't even do that.
Just because Gwilt leant forward doesn't give Mooney the right to tackle him in the back, he could have tackled him differently, he chose not to, and he lost out.
EDIT: lol oops didn't mean to bump a 2 day old thread... I'm just so sick of seeing these threads, can't help myself i guess
