Absolutely...there's really no '15-Metergate', Eli and Paddy both had late shots at goal that missed, both would have iced the game. In a close loss you can go back and dissect any number of opportunities and c**k-ups, but it's relatively pointless of course. Hell, Sam Mitchell almost died of leather poisoning, so we can't claim we played a text-book game! Very gracious of Clarko to give us a nod, but it's all PR.bigred wrote:It is frustrating.
But when you look at the whole game...... We muffed up plenty of opportunity.
Anyways, IMO only the first call was incorrect, the second was fine, but the pressure was on by then, forcing the turn-over.
Our mate in yellow could have had a Hawks tattoo on his head, we had an ex-player out there! Having said that, I'd hope the AFL publishes one of their feel-good articles admitting there was a mistake, and have a quiet whisper in said maggots ear about discretion.
