Richmond just drop the ball close to their bodies when tackled

[FastLane]

Both teams do it- but Tigers did it more.

Despite free kick count- Tigers got the better of it- numerous htb decisions ignored when in Geelongs 50, and then cheap ones going the other way.

NicNAt and others have been reported for Nankervis Style tackle- yet right in front of ump- play on.

Also- the Jack Reiwoldt kick in the back of Blicavs should be reportable- dont bring up Toby Green- different incidents- Jack karate kicked him in the middle of the back- conveniently glossed over by commentators.

Tigers are about to come crumbling down- barely got past a Geelong team who played at 60% for 95% of the game.

Mate you blokes are rubbish, it should have been 10 goals. The ump was the only thing that made it interesting, and don't take my word for it, look at the stats.

Stopped reading when you called me ‘Mate’ and then followed up with ‘you blokes are rubbish’.

 

[Dacksaredown]

Thought both teams were doing it to be honest.

I agree, Tigers got the rub of the green.

Sure umpiring was crap last night but there was so much they got away with, even look at their last goal, Riewoldt clearly pushed the defender in the back.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. You can bet your bottom dollar Hawkins wouldn't have got away with that though, as Rance would've thrown himself forward like he was shot out of a cannon to make sure the umpire saw it.

I’ve seen Danger do that plenty of times over the years.

I bet you have

So who died and made you the king of Big Footy?

Richmond supporters have become unbearable in the last 10 months.

Come along way from spitting at their own players post game to now being experts on all things football.

 

[ManOfClay]

It’s funny how it’s always the reigning premiers who only seem to do this. Same whinging was about the dogs too

 

[blckcaviar]

We nearly beat you at the mcg and you cry about the umpires. There is a common theme going on here.

This thread is started by a Geelong fan crying about umpires

 

[Cdog71]

I do think if they called dropping the ball more there would be less congestion, the more they let it play the more players get there.
Dunno if its a Richmond thing only, we had 92 tackles for 3 HTB.
Im sure cats numbers wouldve been up there as well.
I didnt think the umpiring favored one side more than the other but they were crap.

How they missed the dangerous tackle on Shorty is beyond me, then he gets pinged. Disgraceful that none of them saw it.

 

[winty]

Grigg kneed in the head right in front of the ump...play on.

Ditto Cotchin on Ablett in the first quarter.

 

[Spook]

Players dropped the ball at least 423 times last night. You do need to drop the ball to kick or attempt to kick it.

The rule is “Holding”the ball. So a player tries not to hold it but drops it to try and kick it is exactly what we want so the ball comes out, if he had prior it’s HTB ball if he didn’t then attempting to try and kick is fine.

 

[Gazey]

Noticed this again last night. They get tackled and hold onto it until numbers arrive then just drop it out. Umpires get on the band wagon of certain teams and Richmond are getting a dream run.

Incorrect disposal then

So you got through the important parts.

Ditto Cotchin on Ablett in the first quarter.

Watch it again he barely brushes him Cotchin actually made his best attempt not to knee him, the head high to Grigg was accidental but a definite free, right in front of the umpires, were used to it lose the free kick count every week.

head high first then a sling tackle then they ping him for incorrect disposal a joke surely.
My issue isnt the frees they pay against us its the fact we dont get frees for the same things, umpires contributed to a 3 or 4 goal assist to the Cat, particularly in the first half when it was 5 frees to 13 even though we controlled most of the game.

Lol!
I would tell you to crawl back into your hole- but I see you're from Cranbourne

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This is not just Richmond mate. The cats did the same thing all night. There were that many occasions where incorrect disposal could have been paid either way.

It's been going on for years, all teams do it. To single out one team for this tactic is ridiculous.

Nankervis on Menengola?????

it was in the side with the forearm perfectly legal

 

[Tiger2709]

Nankervis on Menengola?????

yes they missed plenty of frees both ways, but they missed a lot more for us, the umpires were ordinary which seems to be becoming the norm.

 

[DrMike]

Whaaaaa, I’m a tigers supporter, whaaa whaaa, we nearly lost at the mcg, whaaa, now we don’t seem unbeatable at home, whaa whaaaa, it must be the umpires fault, whaaa whaaa whaaa.


I think that’s how it goes.

You're such a child.
