I can't believe the commentators on channel 7 saying Vickery on Jamo shoulder block to the head was a complete accident and only the head connected. Clearly the shoulder strikes the head of Jamo as Vickery blocks or uses a sceening technique to fend jamo away from the contest.
Then in incident numer 2, Kreuzer goes for a contest and accidentally strikes Vickery in the mouth with his elbow. This is deemed to be a worry because it knocked a tooth out of his mouth. He never looked at Vickery and never tried to strike him. Complete accident.
As for the mark that wasn't given to Kreuzer. he towers over his opponent by 10cm. Leaps 10cm higher than the man in front. Longer arms have him fully extended and nearly 12 inches above his opponent taking the ball. How does the man in front get paid the mark when he scoops the ball out of his hands.
Yet Vickery attempts a mark in the last quarter and only touches the ball for a split second once and drops the ball. Yet he is paid the mark. The umpires got it wrong on so many occasions tonight. no wonder we lost confidence early in the game. I feel sorry for Barker as we were never a chance tonight. We were out numbered on the field. Maggots+Tigers was never going to work our way once we lost Jamo in the first quarter.
Hardwick better not be happy with this game. his side isn't that good and will be exposed before the season ends. Umpires won't always give a one sided affair when it comes to free kicks.
