Not saying it wasn't soft but technically correct under the laws of the game. It was an idiotic thing to do by Richards. No need. Especially 80m off the ball.
I guarantee if they showed footage across the entire game, and any other game for that matter, you'd see the same thing happen multiple times by both teams. They picked this one out because Grimes flopped. Just a terrible free kick regardless of which team you support.

For all the heat the Dogs are copping, yeh they've been smashed so far tonight, but theyve won 6/7 coming into tonight, have been one of the form teams in the comp.

Look at their wins and who they’ve played. When they’ve lost, they’ve been belted. Not a stand out team this year.

We really are in a crazy age of football when a team can dominate a half like Richmond just did and page after page is blaming umpires. 41 to 14 uncontested marks, 10.3 from 21 inside 50s etc.

Don't get me wrong, Grimes flopped and deserves a fine. Cotchin got away with a throw that was obvious on a replay (try catching it in real time at ground level when he did flick his wrist like a handball). But really the margin is just so not due to the umps it's not funny. Richmond would be maybe 5-6 goals up instead of 7 if the umps didn't give them the rub of the green tonight.
