By poor decision, you must mean the Adelaide sub decision.

The Adelaide sub was the umpire? I think you are confused...

 

[WillHayward]

That was a free kick every time, (unless Himmelberg was playing for WC in Perth).

Dunno about that. Even the Hawks in the commentary box said it wasn't a free.
He touched the ball and made no contact with the player. Was entitled to compete.

Dunno about that. Even the Hawks in the commentary box said it wasn't.

Watch any hawks game where there is dunstall or brereton commentating. They never say it's the right call when it is, and always say it should have been penalised when it isn't.

It's the bane of hawks fans everywhere

 

[PCORF]

incredible outcome

well done

Enjoy the party!

 

[Power Raid]

YES!!!!!

WHAT A VICTORY!!!!

never in doubt

 

[Power Raid]

Enjoy the party!

I was barracking for the crows today

Dunstall always goes overboard being neutral. Still lots for crows fans to be optimistic about, good youth coming through and without the sub mistake might have held on for the win.

Did the AFL tell adelaide they need a different clash strip to play hawthorn....and then give Essendon the all clear against Collingwood?

Have you whining muppets ever lost a close game without looking about the umpiring?

username has strong correlation to post quality

Who would have thought #freekickhawthorn episode 67 would have ended like this

Considering the last goal of that game was the Himmelberg score which was incorrectly overturned, the self congratulations of the Hawks players in their post match interviews is mildly amusing. Should never have gotten that close but the truth is the Crows would have taken the 4 points but for an extremely poor decision which changed the result of the game.

Given that decision happened with 3-4 minutes anything could have occured after that. It is not like the Brisbane one against Geelong with 15 seconds left

 

[HairyO]

It wasn’t. I’d be filthy if it was paid against us. Just the same, I’d expect it would be.

Nah. The rule is front on contact. He needed to turn his body in the air.

 

[HairyO]

An extremely embarrassing loss. An injured, geriatric, out of form sub. Ridiculous.

That was just bizarre. Did we get a timestamp on how long it took ?

 

[PoholkMe10]

Nah, front on contact is very specifically for players not attempting to mark or spoil the ball. Berg had eyes on the footy and spoiled the ball.

I agree.

 

[Delisted]

Geez adelaide got the rub of the green today. Typical.

 

[Shaunbkk]

Sorry we shouldn't whinge that Himmelberg make a legal spoil, slots a goal and it gets challed off?

Will be fun to watch you whinge tonight when Port get their usual ride at home.

Crows a few crap players (Hately Rowe) , Keays kicking and Lynch (wtf) from winning comfoprtably. Vic teams all know 'free kick Hawthorn' ... next time crows won't let that happen. Didn't deserve to win today. Need 22 not 18

Hawthorn have received the least free kicks of any club in the league in 2021, by a fair margin. Same thing last year too.

But yeah....freekickhawthorn.

That's not mutually exclusive with being able to call a shite decision shite.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Who was the last player to kick five on debut?

Ron The Bear?

Not sure if answered... Marty McGrath for Richmond v Bulldogs in late 2003.

It was so blatantly a free kick that it was probably the only contest during the last quarter that I didn't outwardly react to. Only realised there was any conjecture when I came on this forum to read through peoples comments.

Also the fact that we had more inside 50's, 8 more scoring shorts and more kicks and handballs.

I thought the Crows ability to make the most of their forward entires was beyond exceptional today. The truth though is that if not for a scoring anomaly (15.0) Hawthorn SHOULD have won this game more comfortably.

 

[Go the Guts]

Did Jaith just run from one side of the ground to the other with one bounce? How was he not called for too far?

Coz Hawthorn

 

[Go the Guts]

Dunstall always goes overboard being neutral.

Yes, for God's sake, why can't he just be biased like the rest of the victorian commentators are! FFS!
Dunstall is an excellent caller, BECAUSE he is unbiased.
