That was not what the free was paid for.robrulz5 wrote:Jones and Thompson ran into eachother in the 1st quarter and they got a free.

It did end 22-15 but they had the first 6 within about four minutes which is one reason why they lead by 20 points very quickly.
That push out of Thompson's was a big forward bump into Mal's back with hands after the initial bump into the lower back and a clear free yet Slatts gets a 50m penalty after taking a mark and kicking a goal PRIOR to the umpire blowing his whistle... tell me, how do you know if there's a free kick against you before you kick the ball if the umpire hasn't blown his whistle yet?

How the f*** can you pay piss ant decisions for simply PLACING a hand on someone's jumper, but allow a PUSH out with a forearm a la Nathan Thompson on Mal? I am sick and tired of SOFT free kicks being paid while infringements are being ignored. Try explaining to a 6 year old why some decisions are paid and others not. I simply gave up. f*** OF BARTLETT
They really need to change that rule. It was fine how it was- A hand in the back is fine as long as there is no forward movement.ealesy wrote:

You could hear the ump explain to Fletcher that the free was being paid against him for hands in the back before the marking contest. Tickie-tocuhwood decision but under the bullshit rule it was actually there.
I think David Schwarz said something very similar in the first half during the telecast.billyduckworth wrote:
At one stage, I commented to the bloke next to me,
"I don't think they've actually got one decision right yet"
They've got it in for McVeigh. Umpires think he's a smart arse. All I know, is that Mark McVeigh is F****** good at his trade. I don't know about those dickheads though.bueller wrote:I like the 50 against McVeigh for screaming "Huuhhh".
Youve got a recipe for disaster when you;ve got those maggots running around with no idea and no sense of reality for a situation.
What a joke that was.
If I went away for 5 years and came back, I wouldn't recognise the sport. It's becoming insane.MH_Bomber wrote:Well the hands in the back rule was responsible for most of the wrong and inconsistent decisions made. Lloyd uses his forearm as you are supposed to be allowed and is free kicked Thompson demonstrably pushes MM out and nothing. Get rid of the new interpretation - its stuffed and its stuffing the game. A backman is allowed to do nothing nowadays,no manourving, no chopping of arms, if there is any contact for a nano second its an automatic free to the likes of the umps favourites i.e. Riewolt AND now St Kilda are flying this tunnelling kite. Just how soft do they want to make Aussie Rules ? I have seen more contact in a Netball game than what some of these frees they are dishing out. Hello - its a contact sport - its not touch football. Heavy contact should be expected and allowed as long as its fair.
Its all smacks in this new phenomenon in sport where the umpires and referees interfere in the actual spirit of the game - like they are one of the combatants. Unfortunately these soft coke rules are aiding and abetting this.
Does that arsehole Bartlett have that job for life or what ? Get rid of him and bring back footy as a contact sport.

Just out of interest, does anyone know how many rule changes occur in soccer every year? I bet the answer is between zero and nought.....
