This exactly
You were gifted two goals when Cripps throws the ball and Casbolt pushed in the back. Two non calls that ended in goals.
That's right, your mob did plenty of it last week and used up the bigfooty quota for 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!
Delusional mate. Free kick every day of the week
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.
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.
That last free for down the ground was there but should of been taken on the boundary, about 55m out (where the ball had crossed the line) by the closest player (Gibbons)
They royally ****ed it up and affected the ultimate result.
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?
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.
Who the fk knows?
I've seen players penalised for holding the ball when the tackle has continued on the wrong side of the boundary line.
Amateur hour - they just make it up as they go.

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.

We are talking far too much about the umpires - which is a symptom of a much larger problem.
Post match discussion after the Eagles v Carlton was centred on the appalling umpiring. Gareth Parker led off his show on 6pr (a current affairs show - not even a sports show) with a spray on how the umpiring is making the game unwatchable. Then we have last night....
In soccer it is said the best ref is the one you don’t remember. This means the obvious infractions are paid and if in doubt - don’t blow the whistle. Let the 50/50 decisions go.
AFL umpires seem to have a fundamental attitudinal problem where they don’t realise they are there merely to facilitate the game - not be an integral part of it.

Open your other eye when you watch the replay mate and you will see that the Carlton player did not touch the ball.
I've got no problem saying that that is the second Freo v Carlton game in a row where, even after watching the replay, I'm thinking 'How did we actually win that game' ???

Funny how Freo supporters complain about that deliberate being paid but don’t mention the smash out of bounds directly from a handball that a freo defender did in 2nd quarter that wasn’t paid and they got away with.
it’s like they complain about one interpretation Of deliberate that went against them but completely neglect another interpretation of deliberate that they benefitted from earlier

how many times have you seen players having set shots at goal moving around away from the mark to improve the angle and they get away with it.. yet everyone wants to be a stickler for this incident.
it’s funny how we all scream for umpires to just pay the most blatant of things and let all soft decisiona go, but at the same time everyone wants to analyse a passage of play for whether a play took a couple extra steps over the boundary line or whether the kick was 10m closer than It should have been or which player was 5m closest to the ball.
im not just saying this because my team benefitted from it this time, I would love nothing more than literally only very blatant frees paid and everything else let go so that everyone is in agreement on an interpretation.

yes and we were on the bad end of one in the 2nd quarter when the umpire refused to pay a deliberate against a freo defender who smashed the ball out of bounds from a handball.
why mention one at the end of a game That went against freo, but neglect another even more obvious missed on for freo in 2nd quarter?

come on, look at the kick, it cleared the goa line easily by 10m, An extra 8-10m in didstance wouldn’t have made it fall short
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.

nooo, there is a difference between a player getting away with a throw which happens literally all game long, and an umpire blowing his whistle to stop the game and give the ball to a forward when the defender has legitimately beaten the forward and won possession.
