Throw in when Gilbert copped s push in the back as he kicked and we were running into a open goal and they took it back. Taking a set shot off Hickey as well shows they cheat.
Why did they take the set shot off Hickey?
Push and shove only to ignore similar after McCartin marked .

I think because Blake Acres pushed his opponent away who was backing into him. He pushed him in the back. An incorrect decision in my view. It happens around packs 50 times a game and umpires do not pay it. The action had no impact on the player's ability to go for the ball. In fact, he was shepherding when the ball was not within 5 metres - also something that happens 50 times a game. That's how I saw it at the game anyway, maybe the TV picked up something worse.

Was at the game at that end. Was a mess of players and chaotic given the scores. Would be a brave ump to pay the free. Live it didn’t look as obvious as the replays but was still there.
We shyte canned the maggots as they went off. Poor game by them.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.
Free kick every day of the week, would definitely have been paid had it been Cameron on the receiving end. A very poorly umpired game, the umpires were determined to have an influence.

This.
But having said that I have no idea why they took the mark off Hickey.

Can anyone enlighten me.
A little bit of push and shove that had absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever...until the umps decided it should. That cost us a goal, so did calling back Gilbert push, and of course the final unpaid free to Carlisle...all absolute howlers. We couldn't buy holding the ball all day, despite the GWS players blatantly taking on the tackler time and again, and pulling the ball under when on the ground. Conversely, our forwards in particular could be tackled quite freely before taking possession, and Ross was held at about 50% of the clearances he attended. Really lousy effort from the maggots today.

Was I mistaken, but was there a free spud to GWS in the second quarter after one his team mates took him out?

I’m not sure if that’s a rhetorical question, but I was at the game and listening to 3AW and they were less than helpful.

Mind you, he was calling play on before contact was even made.
Cabbage.
Correct bigred......
was there...ump called play on for dropped mark.....contact then made....ump should of then made a 2nd decision to pay the high contact....elected not to......ump made a mistake......NO DOUBT

Glad you have posted that. If I did some self confessed bogan would call me a moron.

Seriously?
Yes seriously. He missed the mark!
Why show an image after the event?

You didn’t notice it but I did. My previous comment was based PURELY on what I saw. No freezframe / replay / radio commentary.
