I got the impression we did pretty well.
However the basis for many given to both sides is another story.

I commented on the night that we seemed to be having a good run. Seemed to be on the right end of a few 50-50 decisions.Animal Enclosure wrote:After watching the replay, it's the best ride we've had a about 112 years! Keep it up you white maggots!
Yeah, good observation. The Shaw tactics were a disgrace and were pinged in the 2nd half only. I was certainly curious as to how many times play on was called after some pretty strong forward momentum tackles were laid. i.e. push in the back types!!Saints43 wrote:I commented on the night that we seemed to be having a good run.

Does anyone speak to the umpires at half time because Joey was held in an indian death lock for the first half. And then received a few free kicks in quick succession in the third. Seemed strange that Shaw having his back to play was only against the rules in the second half.

Actually Im not that fussed if they let a few of those go. The instances of players diving forward the second they are touched to try and milk a pushing free are reaching epidemic proportions. A few "play on" calls when they happen might just stop players doing itwas certainly curious as to how many times play on was called after some pretty strong forward momentum tackles were laid. i.e. push in the back types!!
The Gardiner free was definitely there. Both hands in the back. The umpire had no choice. Now that I think about it, both Gardiner's goals were from frees. The second one, LRT had a handful of jumper.Teflon wrote:we got a good run for sure - 5 goals direct from frees that to me some looked soft (Gardiners goal?, the kickig the ball at the fence goal etc) - Im not whingeing (gotta take them when you get em) BUT......we will NOT get that run at AAMI this weekend that you can bet on.

Is it? Someone asks how many frees we got AND "I got the impression we did pretty well. However the basis for many given to both sides is another story."Saint Bev wrote:Geez thats a bit harsh with the amount of things that get repeated on here. Not everyone is a know it all.............

Yeah we prolly get the good end of the stick umpire-wise. There were plenty of bronx cheers from the Swans fans in the 2nd half when they got free
So..I guess 24-16 is about par for some to admit the umps were OK lol? Anything more even than that and they go back to being maggots again??
