At around the 26 minute mark of the third quarter, Weitering was pinged for holding the ball when Curtis brought him to the ground in the forward pocket.  How did Curtis bring Weiters down? He hooked his right leg around Weiters' leg and tripped him.  It should have been Weiters' free and, after SDK's and Keane's fines, the MRO should be relieving Curtis of some of his hard earned.  I suspect that Christian will turn a blind eye.

Agree fully, a free kick at a very minimum. But I must admit I didn't see it until the 'tackle' was replayed

Yes the umpires have way too much to decide on and they do it on the trot

BUT things have changed - this was obvious to me at the time, but they get a shot on goal!?

The not 15m is doing my head in, every call is completely different!

Basically there is no clear umpiring anymore.

Media comment on Hewett's game like it's one out of the box, it just goes to show you how little they watch.

Also I thought EH was more influential than the stats show, did a lot of sacrificial stuff, we've missed him.

Why can blokes hand out kidney punches and ankle taps and get away with it, while retaliation gets you pinged?

I think some supporters probably don't give him the credit he deserves.
He's not flashy, he's a workhorse and pretty dependable.
What he's producing isn't anything new.
He's probably 'shining' and showing up a bit more this year because Cripps hasn't been as dominant

Well he was dropped last year.

He has gone up a level with Kennedy not taking up midfield minutes.

Was that the time (when he was dropped) we were playing silly buggers with him and Kennedy.
Rotations that mystified a lot of us at the time but were probably an attempt to give some of the midfielders a bit of a break.
It was about that time things went off the rails.

He might also be more reliable than others in kicking to the advantage of his teammates.

Also allows us to be more flexible with Cripps. Can let him go forward a bit more often where he can be dangerous. He'll likely go there more and more as he gets older.

Kennedy should've been made to be a 3rd tall forward who can back up the midfield. Swap with cripps so we always have a 3rd tall marking target and a tough inside mid between them. Leave Hewett as a full time mid.

Could've worked with all of them, but Kennedy drew the short straw.
