Yeah because when Walter's does it all the time then he's obviously playing for it. When the entire Hawks team do it because they're skibidi sigma hok ball and the other teams just hate that about them and snipe them.
I hate everything about that sentence, and I know you did too.
 
We don’t even get the ones that are there!!
I'm sure you'll get more frees when you start playing for them. It's like NBA players who play through contact not getting foul calls.

And I'd imagine playing for those frees has an effect on receiving more of the calls you should anyway. There'd have to be some sort of conditioning effect in terms of umpiring.

Nah. We’d be made an example
Of and be pinged for staging.

Just be better.

Worked out well for walters, end up not getting the ones deserved paid.
Yes because he does it in isolation.

When you have 6+ blokes running around playing for frees like that it's impossible to ignore.

Hawks have Watson, Ginnivan, Moore, McDonald, Newcombe, Worpel and Breust at minimum who do it regularly.

We have Walters, Switkowski (once in a blue moon) and just about no-one else.
 
Port's pressure has been immense and they've come to play. It's depressing though that this Hawks team has stood up well and look like they'll be a strong team going forward.

I'm very much on the death-ride though still. C'mon Meek and others.

Could argue that not standing up is exactly what's keeping Hawthorn in this game.

Switta actually has perfected it. Subtle enough that it hasn't become a thing like Walters and if he plays for it he almost always gets it paid.

Common sense would tell you that when an entire team keeps drawing high free kicks/dangerous tackles in their forward 50 then it's actually not normal and they are all playing for the frees, hence you should be letting more of them go. For some reason the umpires are ****ing brain dead and can't figure it out.

Even in the Hawks game vs us their first 5 or so goals came from free kicks that they played for.

We can play for them all we want but they don't even pay the ones that are there most of the time. Different teams and different players get different treatment.
