Lol at the crowd

 

[QuietB]

Worst of the holding/dropping the ball rule on show here. Hawkins just drops it cold in a massively dangerous place - no call. Eagle takes possession, gets immediately tackled- free. WTF is going on in our game?

 

[PHX]

The "no genuine attempt" rule is becoming a bigger farce every week.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

If he wanted to give a free kick away should have got his moneys worth.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Wonder who the Umps are going for tonight.

 

[kaiserchief13]

And Eagles are supposed to be getting a good ride from the umps........maybe this game will finally open the eyes for everyone

 

[Bennett.]

wow, Kerr totally played for that high free

 

[DapperDon]

Brox cheers already lol

 

[Rob]

yeah that was plenty of prior opportunity and deserves a shot at goal...

It was paid because he didn't make an attempt to get rid of it (not saying he didn't make an attempt, but that's why it was paid). Doesn't need to have had prior opp.

Amazes me that even Leigh Matthews doesn't know the rule.

Wait, after a couple of fair umpiring decisions, you come out with that comment??

 

[Eshay187]

What's with people from Perth and booing?

Never heard a crowd so keen to boo.

 

[sedders]

only because one that could have gone to the eagles wasnt paid

Yeah agree with that

 

[lewigie]

Can't these pricks just put the whistle away and let it go? No consistency.

Dude. You're leading the comp for frees for. How much more do you want exactly?

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

[Ron]

lol at Scarlett. Play the ball and stop complaining.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Looks like a good ol' fashioned Duck Off tonight.

 

[Igloo]

Poor Josh Walker. He's going to get absolutely monstered by Cox and Naitanui. I bet he's hoping Stephenson comes back soon.

 

[Bennett.]

Still a free all day every day.

of course, but he bent at the waist for 10 seconds to make sure it happened!
