He got shouldered in the back in a marking contest and went down too easy was how i saw it. More often than not i dont think that gets paid.He got hit square in the back
Yeah i agree. Dean ill learn from it, better position, awarness, strength, and defensive skills will all comeHe got shouldered in the back in a marking contest and went down too easy was how i saw it. More often than not i dont think that gets paid.
Im not sure about that one. I think as long as it was a forearm, body, its okay. I wouldnt want that paid against Harry.

Was very inconsistent throughout the game last night.I would love to know what the umps are told regarding the holding the ball rule.
It seems once or twice every quarter they just pay holding the ball when they player has no prior, is tackled instantly and the balls held in.
They then revert to not not paying the next 5 by the same standard.
Think taking front position in that circumstance was a poor choice. Had a run at the ball, could have jumped and punched through for a point.Yeah i agree. Dean ill learn from it, better position, awarness, strength, and defensive skills will all come
He was screwed either way - bloke is bigger with a massive vertical leap - if he was behind there’s every chance he just marks it at its highest point & then u ask why wasn’t he in front of him.Think taking front position in that circumstance was a poor choice.

George Hewett would disagreeFrom the games ive watched, get your hands on the ball and you get the rub of the green.

How can we expect the correct decisions to be made without an umpire around?

Was it Nafan (22)?
I can't tell.

Yep.Don’t you know? None of the rules apply in the goal square
Cmon man, you can when it’s not a Carlton player doing it.You can't smash someone in the back in a completely separate motion to taking a mark. Forearm, body, makes no difference.
Even Sammy Edmund gave the umpires a serve this morning on SEN which is kind of out of character for him.Carlton should be lodging a formal “please explain” on how our key forward ends up concussed from a forearm to the face in a marking contest that doesn’t get paid a free kick.
Absolute horse shit.
Deans push in the back should also be questioned.
Would be nice for the club to stand up in some form to the shit storm around us
Harry gets mauled at virtually every contest week in week out and receives very little from the umps.Even Sammy Edmund gave the umpires a serve this morning on SEN which is kind of out of character for him.
He's normally pretty level headed with his analysis, but got a bit fired up about some of the decisions or non-decisions from last nite - especially Harry getting punched in the face, and Haynes getting his jumper ripped off with no frees paid.
The weird bermuda triangle the AFL goes to when a player is shepparding another player for a ball that may go in is bizarre. Something that would be a free kick in any other scenario is never paid.No free & Naicos kicks a goal
All. Clear.
