laying the groundwork for the concussion outrage when he's selected to play next week

 

[Ray Nolan]

Indeed he was, but he got one of the most undeserved free kick I have ever seen.

I had to watch the incident about 4 times, but the umpire pays him a free kick for holding on with about 40 seconds to go. It wasn't Ray or #2, is was the dark haired chap. If you watch the replay nobody touches Jonas until the last second when he spoils Dangerfield coming back towards him, but he gets the free. Hawkins grabbed Mckenzie about 2m behind Tom and the dill somehow says its Tom's free. He looked confused what to do and who to pay the free to.

The only logical reason to pay Tom a free was because the ball was still alive just before Tom punched it and Mckenzie was grabbed by Hawkins, and he decided to give the free to Port 2m advantage up the ground. I've never see a 2m advantage free before.

Ok here is the video right at the start of the video.

This was merely to even up the ledger in giving us cheap free kicks in the back line once the result was certain in a desperate attempt to paper over their ordinary performance for the rest of the game.

Par for the course in the AFL.

Yep. The raw number of frees is almost meaningless. My metric would be a score that totals up the free kicks where:
The base is a free kick is worth 1 point.

x2 if paid in the first half.
x1.5 if paid in the third quarter.
x2 if paid in forward 50, x3 if paid within 15 metres of goal.
x0.5 if paid in back 50.
x0 if pay a free that should have been called a mark.

So a free could range in score from 0 to 6 (within 15 metres of goal in the first half).

Apply those metrics to our games and I bet our free kicks across the season (and versus Geelong) suddenly don't look as fair as for and against.

Our win against Geelong the other day was the first time that we won a final while wearing our Black Chevron guernsey, all other final wins since 2013 were either in our white away guernsey or our Prison bars guernsey. I was starting to think that the Black Chevron was becoming a finals curse, luckily that’s been proven wrong and hopefully it now becomes a charm for us in future finals

The real value of the free kick. I reckon you could x 2 if it led to a goal like a “turnover” goal.

The umpire actually said 'holding, Trent McKenzie' first, then for some reason changed it to Jonas. Very odd.

Time to watch the replay for the 10th time.

On page 26 I made a post about how inexperienced we were compared to Geelong, but I was looking at Swamp's twitter account and these few tweets re how experienced Geelong were





















Rocky didn't take as long as Paddy

Was a push in the back to Burton (I think Burton) on the screen, whilst commentators said it was a free kick off the ball, the ball was closest to Jonas at the time (perhaps he was further upfield than the transgression but he did look close to last man back).
