Umpiring [vs Eagles Mega Thread]

[SMaturin]

I love footy. Love it. But I'd hate for these muppets to think that it's because of them. It's not. It's in spite of them.

How can Gieschen say that the free kick was correct?
The free kick was paid for the '2nd contact'.

His judgement is flawed:
If he says the Adam's tackle on Selwood was high, the umpire did not pay the free for that tackle. Therefore, the umpire MISSED that free kick. So doesn't that mean the umpire made an error?
As the free kick was paid for the 2nd contact, was this decision correct? Has this been addressed? Why has it been overlooked, when the fact is the free was for the 2nd contact and not for the original tackle???

I think that we are about at a point where this discussion has run to its end.

Free was paid.
People got pissed off about it.
Free was exonerated.
People got more pissed of about it.

People can let it the f*** go and focus on Adelaide this week because we can continue to discuss it for the next 3 months but it ain't gonna get us the 4 points back.
