that 50m was a horrendous decision. You could see in the replay Edwards look to umpire and move backwards as directed to do so. He was still moving backwards when the 50 was given. Somebody needs to check if that umpire had laid a bet on the game.
The holding the ball rule.
Every time a pack forms you hold your breath. It seems everyone in the football world can see that players on top of the bloke with ball try to to stop it coming out, everyone except the umpires that is.
At one stage I think it was Rioli was tackling Tuck (I think) who did not have the ball. Newman had it and was been tackled by Franklin in the same pack yet the umpire paid a free kick against Tuck. It appears they are paying what they think is happening rather than what they see.
