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.

I thought I was the only person to notice that.  :lol

Was a shocker
The missus had to leave the room when that happened some how a port player hitting another port player with his hip was our fault LOL I shook the house foundations roaring at the bastard umpire.

Must have been a one-night only rule. No such thing as deliberate in tonight's prelim  :huh.
There were at least three tonight that weren't paid that would've been paid deliberate last night.

Dangerfield threw that. Ump on the wrong side to see it.

Reminds me of Dusty to Jack in last year's QF against Brisbane  :laugh:.

Stevic umpired in the 2017 and 2019 GFs, so issue from me. Ditto with Meredith

I'd be more worried about Fleer  ;D  :help

But hey, at least he can bounce the thing  :rollin

If Stevic carries his form from the prelim into the match then we'll be up against it.... :shh

It should be a trip and a free to Kmac. It was a bloody Rugby tackle around the legs  ::).

I was fuming when that happened. Can’t believe blues supporters were angry it wasn’t paid htb.
