This exactlyThe free kick down field was very iffy, I wouldn’t have paid it.
The biggest howler was where the mark was set for it, it was at least 10 probably 15 metres closer to goal than it should have been, the umpire pretty much sets it where the ball landed, it crosses the boundary near the 50m arc.
You were gifted two goals when Cripps throws the ball and Casbolt pushed in the back. Two non calls that ended in goals.Swings and roundabouts. Freo got two unwarranted goals in front of goals in the first quarter.
So just zip it, enjoy the magnificent Newnes game winner (which will win goal of the year) and bask in the return of Carlton as a legit finals contender.
Finally I have to say the salty bitterness from non Freo neutral supporters (I am inclined to allow the venting from Freo Fans, very unlucky) only makes last night's win, all the more sweeter.
WE ARE CARLTON ! **** The Rest !!
Coulda woulda shoulda. Fact is Freo were kept in the game by the umps. Shouldnt have been close.
Quit your whining.
I’ve seen plenty of deliberates just like that payed this season and yes I’ve seen plenty not payed but at the end of the day that was deliberate and it should be payed every time wether it’s the start or the end of a game!1. That is the problem - similar free kicks WERE NOT paid throughout the game. If that was deliberate OOB, the umpires missed 20 others throughout the game. If that was a downfield free, the umpires missed 40 others throughout the game.
2. Learn to English.
Delusional mate. Free kick every day of the weekThe reason 7 aren't paid, is because it was the wrong decision.
It was just an awful decision.
He had already left the ground to attempt a legal smother. Even though he can't alter physics, he attempted to stop his momentum and minimise the inevitable contact as best he could. Wasn't high, wasn't excessive.
It was incidental and unavoidable contact.
Wrong decision.
The umpire was fooled by the theatrics of Docherty, which made him think the contact was excessive. Wrong.
The umpire was unable to weigh up the situation and realise that Brayshaw didn't charge Docherty, and didn't intentionally, recklessly or even carelessly take him out late.
It was all 'in play' and unavoidable in the normal course of play.
Awful umpiring at the time, and even more awful in the cold light of day upon reflection.
Having said that, I'm glad he f’ed it up - cause it made for a classic finish!
Players throw the Ball 80 times a game. Take that up with the AFL. I saw plenty of Freo throws on the night as well. AFL has elected not to enforce it to keep the game moving.You were gifted two goals when Cripps throws the ball and Casbolt pushed in the back. Two non calls that ended in goals.
Spoiled by a Carlton player. Cox should have been holding the ball for trying to claim an obvious touched ball.
There were a lot of obvious frees not paid and some paid that weren’t there for both teams with both sides getting benefit on the scoreboard.Players throw the Ball 80 times a game.

If it was consistently paid, then it wouldn't be a problem.I’ve seen plenty of deliberates just like that payed this season and yes I’ve seen plenty not payed but at the end of the day that was deliberate and it should be payed every time wether it’s the start or the end of a game!
Technically, yes it is.Delusional mate. Free kick every day of the week
Who the fk knows?Was it Docherty who played on after the deliberate, by running along outside the field of play? So in doing so, if he is tackled outside the field of play, is it holding the ball or a throw in because it happens outside the field of play?
Open your other eye when you watch the replay mate and you will see that the Carlton player did not touch the ball.Spoiled by a Carlton player. Cox should have been holding the ball for trying to claim an obvious touched ball.
Carlton were the better team and deserved to win, we would've been lucky to hold on. Sometimes calls go your way sometimes they don't and that's footy, but gee whiz you can spot the blokes on this thread that have never played a game of footy. Contact happens front on like that after you kick when someone tries to smother you all the time. Fair enough if Brayshaw came in from the side and took him out but he was sprinting towards him trying to smother it's impossible for players to pull out of that.
Carlton fans you don't have to defend the decision you are allowed to say we got lucky with that call but we will take it, they won't take the 4 points off of you I promise. Better team after quarter time won.
Also ridiculously good kick from Newnes.

For me that is reason enough for it to be called back to take his kick over the mark. If you want to play on, you have to do so by running over the mark to re-enter the field of play. Not by running along outside the field of play.
If it was consistently paid, then it wouldn't be a problem.
But it's not. As another poster suggested, it's only paid about 30% of the time.
THAT is the crux of the issue.
Pretty dumb by Tabener, didn't "disguise" it at all with a 'fumble'....still that's 50/50
Then he allowed Carlton to play on.
the free kick for the hit after the ball, was definitely there.
Umpires gave Carlton an extra 6-8 meters, ball looked to go out right on the 50m arc. no way he kicks it from where it was supposed to be taken.
Umpires gave the kick to the wrong player.
Fremantle ripped off, and quite bad umpiring.
Yes, that’s true.Players throw the Ball 80 times a game. Take that up with the AFL. I saw plenty of Freo throws on the night as well. AFL has elected not to enforce it to keep the game moving.
Yes, that’s true.
It was countering the argument that Fremantle was gifted two goals which happens in games all the time.
Two goals from free kicks and two goals from non free kicks.
He was way inside the feild and got shoved after he kicked it.. clear down feild freeWas it Docherty who played on after the deliberate, by running along outside the field of play?

In the voice of vin deisal.. winnings winning... and in our case. A free kick is a free kick. Dubious or not. It is what it isYes, that’s true.
