Frees for and against
Maybe we should make a sticky of this. Record each weeks frees.
St.Kilda 11 Sydney 18. plus 2 50's. Did we get any 50's?
Last week was worse.

Re: Frees for and against
Their first 3 scoring shots were from frees. We had none yet again for the entire game. Sort out the rucking in the backline ffs, it's killing us.

Re: Frees for and against
They were just pathetic calls from the umpire. Twice Stanley engaged the Sydney ruckman and immediately had the free called against him because McEvoy was also in the vicinity. Stanley is a much better tap ruckman than McEvoy and it's perfectly possible that he is instructed to take the hitouts in the backline. The umpired guessed both times and paid the frees against us.8856brother wrote:Their first 3 scoring shots were from frees. We had none yet again for the entire game.

It has nothing to do with who is the better ruckman. Stanley blocked their ruckman and this is my point. we cant blame umpires for the amount of frees if they are correct. The last free was 100% correct everyday of the week.

So you're allowed third man up as long as he's not another tall person.plugger66 wrote:mad saint guy wrote:They were just pathetic calls from the umpire.

Your allowed 100 up in the ruck but you cant block the other ruckman.

Re: Frees for and against
What shat me was that they would let several go then pull out soft ones then ignore several more similar ones. Every contest can be an infringement in afl. They need to leave the game to run and teach them that frees are not just pulled out. Let them see the out come of a free kick in front of goal and what it can mean in a game.

Re: Frees for and against
You can engage with the ruckman and take front position if you're the opposing ruckman. At virtually every ruck contest someone will be pushing or shepparding the other ruckman. Macca was 3rd man up.plugger66 wrote:Your allowed 100 up in the ruck but you cant block the other ruckman.

Re: Frees for and against
Exactly. There was no illegal push or hold, the umpire paid the free kicks for a third man illegally engaging the Sydney ruckman when Stanley was actually just contesting.Jacks Back wrote:You can engage with the ruckman and take front position if you're the opposing ruckman.

You can engage but you cant run in front and block which is what Stanley. I didnt pay the free by the way and it will be cleared as 100% correct but then people will say the AFL is lying.

Re: Frees for and against
The rub of the green always seems to go with side on top. Happens in cricket as well, which makes the slow death towards a loss even harder to take.
I am against the umps as much as the next Saints person, but we got away with a few towards the end. Maybe their bloke was ducking, but we did get away with those. Sadly didn't make up for the earlier soft ones that seem to keep them in the game and then kick away.
