On another note, despite the fact he's a renowned ball player, he receives terrible treatment from the umpires.

Others seem to be able win frees far more easily.
At one stage 3 Brisbane Bears players were blocking/holding him off the ball.
Indeed SP. I was on level two At the Coventry end and had a perfect view of the contests in the second and last quarters. Some of the infringements they "missed" we're staggering, especially as there was an ego nearby on each occasion. How do they get away with calling free kicks from 80 metres away, when they can't see blatant transgressions right in front of them?


I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

They have selective sight and take too long to make a decision.

What about the the non 50 to Roo after Sauce belted him across the back of the head AFTER he took the mark? Disgraceful and blatant miss.

Kudos to Leppa for not going the tank when he was entitled too though hate seeing those cheats with the no 1 pick. Always refreshing to see somone behaving with integrity, particularly in this day and age.
