Under pressure from the two geelong players that weren't even trying to tackle him, and were instead pleading to the umpire?Umpire number 28 needs to be sacked immediately. First pays a deliberate rushed behind against a player under pressure. Then lines Hogan up BEHIND the post so a straight kick would slam into the behind post.
Absolute F WIT.
Any pressure he felt was completely in his head.
Gross play by the Geelong guys. But the Essendon guy was super dumb in this situation. Easy to blame the umpire but the player was really dumb here and was definintely NOT trying to keep the ball in play
