3 goals in front and a bad free cant hurt. We got a good run v port not great last night. Swings and round abouts.The game was iced if Black took his marked kick in front of goal. Or if Kennedy didn't get paid the marking contest free on the wing, or if the last Selwood duck was let go as they had been all night. I don't think it was a conspiracy, I think the umpires just panicked a bit. And those decisions cost North the win they had in their hands.
Not saying North didn't make mistakes or that the weren't other reasons. But the final few umpiring decisions were important.
