I think they had 8 or 9  free kicks to our 2 in the last quarter.

It was heart in the mouth stuff. The umps did their best to give them every chance to win.

Rioli’s 50 against, he clearly thought it was his free kick. In the audio all you could hear was the umpire  blow the whistle and say holding the man. Never said who it was awarded to. Even before the 50 was paid no umpire was calling him off or showing which way the free was going.

Well umpired for the most part I thought.

Was expecting a large crowd influence but umps kept their head and were fair.

Glad they put the whistle away, why can’t all games be umpired this way?!

Well done umpires :thumbsup

Put the whistle away??

There was 43 free kicks!!!!

I would suggest that would be very close to the most in a Richmond game this year .. thought they were too involved .. especially deliberate.. in saying that , I don’t think we were treated too badly

Stevic had a shocker. Paid the feee to Ladhams for a goal and was poor on the deliberate interpretations

I thought they umpired well apart from the start of the 4th but came good.

Agree

Thought they were good last  night and not influenced by the crowd

The free kick that I was most curious about was from the kick-in after Lynch’s miss to start the 4th quarter. Dixon jumped into the back of one if our players and got awarded a free kick for a block.

Then there was the high contact free kick later on and just before Vlas gave away the free kick in front of the sticks, 2 Port players collided and somehow got a free kick.
