Bizarre thread as the Eagles had the rub of the green
OP was implying the umpires would pay more frees to geelong in the second half, to even up the free kick count.

Bizarre thread as the Eagles had the rub of the green
So there is no such rule?Your not serious, are you? Don't talk about football if you dont know this basic rule.
So the Gaff defence.Accidental.
In fact, the Eagles player that deliberately hit Hawkins clenched fist with his head, may miss Round 1 next year.
According to what rule?If you look at the opposition player and not the ball, then it's deemed an intentional block...
9-1 run of frees highlighted by all and sundry. No focus on the fact that good 8 of them were blatant.
12-6 turnaround, silence.
Hawkins shoves McGovern in the back, 'marks' a ball touched by 3 hands, goal.
Stewart collects Yeo in the head, nothing, inside 50, goal.
Ryan not tackled, ball punched out of his hands, holding the ball, inside 50, not sure if goal.
Etc.
And this game is supposedly a free ride to us.
Staggeringly inept coverage we are subjected to.

Enjoy the win and convince yourself you weren't gifted goals if it makes you feel better.
Geelong were better tonight, but if you think a lot better but held back by the umpires you'll be in for a rude shock next week m
Shut up.
You were gifted a ride into a game you had no right to be in.
That was some of the worst one-sided umpiring I've seen this year. It's as if the umps got direction to stop paying Geelong any free kicks after the blowout. Happened when it looked like Geelong were going to smash them by 60 points. Lucky Geelong won it in the end or the AFL would have a bunch to answer for.
Yeah, we defintely are one of the better exponents of the block. Will be interesting to see how they adjudicate next week. Odds on it will be a pundit talking point this week.Next week will be interesting cause thats richmonds defense in a nutshell.

I thought the game wasnt umpired too badly last night. At least they let it flow. McLovin seemed to get a good run of frees in the 2nd, but it evened up somewhat in the third.
yeah that 50 was a poor decision.Sam Menegola didn't think so when he got a 50 given for Hickey dropping the ball.

Play in front first to the ball, tackle hard. There's some possible answersSomething's rotten when the free kick differential over the past 15 years reads:
WCE +919
North +472
Carl +322
How can WCE get so many more free for than every other team?
