Carlisle free kick

[Sainternist]

A bit of an old-fashioned coathanger, but umpire was on wrong side to see it, and well disguised by Davis.

Rubbish.

Philtee has a good case, Saynta. It appears Davis was positioned in a way that may have blindsided the umpire. Just our luck!

[CURLY]

Just blatant cheating no other explanation. To the clowns saying he should have marked it pull your heads out your arse. 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 .

[Vazelos]

Free Kick but in normal motion not as easy to see...
Gut wrenching!!!

[SydneySainter]

I didn’t pick a free in real time or the first replay.

From a different angle, probably there, but hard for the ump to pick.

Why did they take the set shot off Hickey?

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.

That was a really poor call

[Stephen Theodore]

Probably was, but at the time didn’t look like it.

Thought he should’ve clunked it. For the first time this season they never looked out of it, even when they were down.

Had a crack

[saintspremiers]

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.

[degruch]

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.

I don't think so. It was that bad of a call

Okay, but I hate giving maggots the benifit of the doubt.

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.

[bigred]

If you have a look at the replay, the ump is completely on the wrong side to see that.

Mind you, he was calling play on before contact was even made.

Cabbage.

+ 1.

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

Why did they take the set shot off Hickey?

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.

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

We all saw it was high from the second level.

What's the point of having 3 main umpires (7 if you include boundary umpires)?

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

[Bernard Shakey]

I didnt see much wrong with it. He got a clean slap on the ball after Jake spilt it. I was more disappointed he didnt clunk it. So was he

Seriously?

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

[BackFromUSA]

Yeah that looks bad. The umps don't get freeze frame, and in the flesh I didnt notice. We could probably go through the tape and pick about 20 out the same

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

[kosifantutti]

Yes he missed the mark. It still should have been a free.

It wasn’t that he was on the wrong side it was that he was gutless. Razor would have paid it
