"You had him before he had the ball - Kerr's free kick"

[Leather Poisoning]

Did anyone else notice a few frees for this last night?

I thought it was brilliant to see. I'm all for tagging, I think it's a necessary defensive tactic - but I personally hate seeing the competition's best players grabbed before they have the ball.

Pretty happy with the umpires on this, good stuff

It was good, yeah.

We've been complaining about it all year!

Yep it was good to see... and should become the norm for all teams around stoppages... it is really annoying seeing the greats of the game going for the ball, and another player just continually tapping them around the waist everywhere they go waiting for them to get the ball and just clamping them - either be good enough to get your own ball or pi$$ off and stop ruining the game taggers.
