Using tonight's ruling, the mere fact you have possession of the footy means you are 'under pressure' and therefore can concede a point.
The decision was bizarre.
One example:
From a kick in....Kick to ones self.....Handball over the line.
what if a player is on the mark and coming towards them?
The fact he went from a unpressurised position of being able to kick and dispose of the ball freely would definitely result in a free being paid.
Dont even know what this is being discussed anyways - this incident has absolutely no effect on the game.

Carr was not being tackled and could have handballed in any direction but chose to concede a behind. Bizarre decision.

it did not lose us the match...we lost it
Yep.
Once Tredrea kicked that goal the game was over, the sort of match it was it was impossible to get 2 consecutive goals in less than 10 minutes.
It was just a poor game from the boys. It happens, and I'd sure rather get this out of the way now than later in the year...
