Frees 9 to 11 for the match?  It seems the only decisions being made are when to stop play for a ball up.  I don't know how many tackles were laid (I'm guessing it was plenty from both sides) but when Gawn is constantly allowed to push Soldo square in the back & help himself to an easy hit out 40+ times, a ball up call is actually just handing Melbourne the ball ...      :help

If Marlion laid that tackle he would be reported.  Front on contact, head high contact nothing to see here, play on.

But remember that the head is sacrosanct.  :banghead

No excuses for the errors we make as they are the prime reason we are loosing but the frees we don't get that the opposition get every week are making the games almost unwatchable. It must be so down hearting for the players to go though it every week.

Tha actual game is now a complete farce. It's gone completely soft and is over officiated.

As well as the Cats leading the free kick count 31-19, the Power were intrigued as to why umpire Brendan Hosking paid 15 free kicks alone to Geelong.

Coach Ken Hinkley alluded to the lopsided free kick count post-game and Kane Cornes says the Power even called the AFL umpire’s department on Sunday to seek clarification on why Hosking awarded so many free kicks to one team.

Wish our coaches would at least "allude" to the umps every now & then after a reaming instead of giving us the "it's a difficult game to umpire" bollocks. :shh

I want somebody like Benny to issue a 'please explain' to the AFL about why the umpires never pinged the Bulldogs for throwing the ball ...      ::)

Best to just wait until Geelong complains about it - they obviously haven't yet. :shh
