We play the umpires darlings on Sunday. Nth got +7 against Sydney at home.

Apparently your allowed to tackle the head of the player wearing yellow and black.

It was so obvious you would think the umpires had a directive from the AFL to keep Freo in the game.

And the following week to Perth to play West Coast where West Coast has a positive Free count kick around Bradman's average

Could anyone explain the non free to Vlastuin for high contact that apparently wasn’t

From what I heard from the commentators it was something to do with it wasn’t a free because he invited contact even though he didn’t drop the knees or shoulders?

"Apparently" he lifted his arm which propelled the tacklers arm into his head. "Evidently" you are not allowed to lift your arm when you are getting tackled. Fairytale stuff.

Can anyone explain how they reviewed the 2 goals we were paid but were 'touched' but did not review a Dockers mark on the line which looked to be over?

Dimma gave them another rocket regarding the goal review. Good lol, but I hope the AFL don't respond with the only way they know how .....
