Why did they get a 50m penalty to put them right in front of goal yet SPS got an elbow to the head which apparently was reportable, but no 50m?
Why is H allowed to get his arms chopped continuously without ever getting a free?
Why was that guy allowed to walk into a better angle when he marked on the boundary line?
Why do they continuously get away with holding Cripps? Or land in our backs with no frees?
McKay, Cripps, Kreuzer, hardly small players, all repeatedly hit in the head and it's play on!
Secondly, when will the AFL do something about these "body spoils", too many good players are having their season ended by landing awkwardly after a small players cannon into the back of talls in marking contests, always without getting anywhere near the ball.
Roughead, first a trip, then a blatant push, neither penalised right in front of the umpire both times. Both resulted in goals!
So many Dawks players block in marking contests it's ridiculous, they fly through the contest behind their marking forward without making even a basic attempt to contest the mark or touch the ball.
Why wasn't it a 50M penalty for that striking report, isn't it supposed to be automatic? You hear the umpire say he's reported for elbowing SPS to the head but no 50M gets paid!
Frees were 19 to 10, no need to say who got the 10. Add that shocking bounce that should've been recalled that resulted in a direct goal. Maybe its time we stopped being Mr nice guy and asked a few questions about the ump's.
Will the Club ask for rule interpretations from the AFL?
We won't hear what we want to hear but it will at least be on record and may impact future umpiring.
