2nd Prelim Final - Hawthorn v Port Adelaide, 4.45pm (4.15 SA), MCG

This is a clear example of umpires getting a team back in the game and shifting momentum: very soft free kick off the ball resulting in a goal, extremely soft 50m penalty resulting in a goal, non-decision on HTB resulting in a rebound and a goal.

Pathetic.

Frees are there or they aren't. Soft has nothing to do with it. If you play dumb players like polec you're going to concede frees.

That was really poor defending there. Just awful. Hawthorn on top now

Hardly. The fundamentals are still in Ports camp, just need to keep them out and then convert. And the umps need to umpire consistently.
 
No. Not unless the umpires were responsible for poor kicking from Port Adelaide. That is what is costing them the game. They should have put Hawthorn away in the first quarter. They didn't. Simple.
Yep. Bad kicking is the reason we are losing. We should have known we have to be 5 goals better then hawthorn to allow for the cheating umpires.

No way...piddling little holding call for your 1st goal. Holding the ball against port player and then 4 let go against Hawks even tho the same circumstances and then yet another dodgy 50 resulting in another goal for Hawks. All decisions from the same ump...Stevic!! (or whatever his name is)
