McCreery slam tackled Rory Lobb into the concrete fake grass bit over the boundary and out of play after Collingwood already got a free kick and nothing happened. No reversal, no nothing. Sums it up.
has always fascinated me the AFL obsession with the free kick count. surely the end number and any gap is irrelevant as long as all the frees paid were there and more non frees that clearly should have been paid weren't awarded to one side more than the other. ie did the umps get their calls right
That is 100% true and I think there were more than a couple of frees missed for the Dogs tonight...but it is what it is and no point whinging and the Doggies fought admirably regardless.
of course very hard to have a sensible conversation about this when the game involved Collingwood who as a matter of principle should never get a free kick ... nor should any frees be awarded against their opponents.
It does seem that the umpires get on a roll. They have been particularly shit towards the Tiges in recent years. I have a theory that the first game or two sets the agenda, and if I'm correct.. then Tiges will have a better yr with the sausage men this year. Let's see.
