You don't like to see results decided by umpire's calls, except for this one

The free against McInerney to Brown was poor. The free against Thompson was absolutely disgusting - that was just textbook great defending from him.

It was a classic Mason Cox free. Defender gets penalised because the bloke he’s marking has the centre of gravity of a palm tree.

That free against Thompson was bad, but the ruck infringement free kick 5mins earlier against McInerney which resulted in a Ben Brown goal was just as bad.
Cancel each other out for mine.

Brisbane play Hawthorn (Launceston), Geelong & Richmond (MCG). Bulldogs (Gabba) also in there which they should win ... the only 'certainty' is Gold Coast at the Gabba.
Their top 4 position at the moment is far from assured.

To me they both speak of umpiring that lacks an understanding of context and complete lack of considering of the fact that to compete in both of those situations, the physical contact from McInerney (against Brown) and Thompson (against McInerney) was both necessary in the situation, and not illegal.
I wowed when both frees were paid.

I thought about this the other day and had similar feelings. Whilst I'd be unlikely to quit the sport I would probably just follow the NEAFL until their reign was over.
I'd have to be in that position but
there's a tipping point.
no idea why reid tried to pick that up. put the boot into it and hope it doesn't touch a freo player

I played in the ruck as a junior, and I distinctly remember being taught that if you had the height advantage to make early contact and put the 'bumper bar' up to block a run up.
It is ruck craft 101. I just about turned the tv off when i saw it as a free kick. When it came to rucks, i would really be happy if there were only 3 free kicks payable in a ruck contest:
- high contact
- push (directly) in the back
- holding (but only if the infringer is holding from behind, if they are front on play on)
Get rid of this blocking crap. Its called ruck craft, and if a guy can stop you from contesting a hit out by jumping earlier or putting his arm up then find a new trick to win the hit out.
The free against Thompson looked bad because McInerney went to ground so easy. The 'double motion' of a push off woth the forearm and then mark was very close, and considering the time of the game I would never have paid it myself.

It would suck to support norf. It really would.
I think I’m gonna start being nice to them.

The most interesting thing I’m noticing with the umpiring in general is the frees are tending to go to the players that either make the error in judgment and/or don’t have the don’t have the experience or ability or know how to impact any given contest on the ground or in the air.
McInerney got flat out outpointed because he didn’t judge it in the air and Brown (despite being ruck height) has next to no idea in the ruck, he attacked the contest in such a way that left himself open to contact.
Speaks to those in power not having a feel for the game, which is concerning to say the least.

Most teams I’d feel sorry for losing that way. But after the way Norf have acted the past week... poetic justice. Eat it!
