It was a free from swallow putting knees in his back, had nothing to do with ducking into the tackle and being taken high.

Did he duck his head and take on the tackler?

Was it a free kick for holding the ball?
Just to clarify the free kick wasn't for head high contact it was for 2 knees into his back.

A bit soft granted, but the decision was correct. Should have it been awarded ?

Maybe, Maybe not.

There were soft frees to both sides on Sunday. The scrutiny is just amplified considering position on ground ( our forward fifty) and how close it was to the siren being sound.

In 48 hours it will be forgotten about and you can concentrate on a poll questioning the validity of the decisions that lead to you being pumped by Port.

See, why do you guys persist with this infantile reactionary rubbish?

Like I stated on your board, your defensiveness about this issue leads one to conclude that you don't believe you were meritorious winners because of this decision.

This is certainly not the case.

It has nothing to do with Richmonds win or Norths loss.

It's just about one single decision.

Someone please point out to Mario that North lost by 9 Points, a Goal = 6 Points if you don't include Martins free we win by 3 Points.

And the free was for knees in the back, soft sure but certainly there.

Don't see Mario complaining about Ziebells push in the back on Matt White that saw him collide into Deledios head and wasn't paid a free.

Would have preferred a play-on call. Thought it was a pretty pedantic call (the in the back, that is), but if you're umpiring to the letter of the law it was there.

Should be Crow's supporters complaining about umpiring this weekend.

They got a royal shafting that gifted the Blues 4 points.

BTW this is the lamest poll yet!
