The free kicks to Cox for being entirely uncoordinated are a complete farce.

and without a crowd drowning out the players pleas, you get interesting insights.
Keith goes 'he just bumbled under the ball'
which is precisely what happened.
free to Cox (Acute lack of coordination). Goal.
then I turned the TV off.
The commentators don't help either. Claiming Cox did really well (as he got separation etc), well yes, but he completely misread the flight of the ball and got given a "pies" free kick as he puts those whirly arms into gear (much like sideshow bob at north) and gets paid a free kick for being ****.
I vowed not to post in this thread this year but isolation has got the better of me already.
I watched our game but haven't analysed closely and can't remember all the frees paid for them in the forward 50.
Were they actually incorrect decisions?
I thought first two against Astbury were very harsh, they were holding frees but same rules didn't seem to apply to the Tiger forwards. The others (there were 6 not 8) were fair enough. We were undisciplined.
The one against Edwards in the 2nd half was a disgrace. For me it was more that most of them were paid at one end but not the other end.
i thought that was fair enough. Edwards had a full hold of opponent's jumper as he was going to the ground. A clear tug of the jumper is almost always paid by the umps. I't was a bit undisciplined, there really was no need to do it.
That’s the point. Most, not all, of the Blues frees were probably fair calls. But the Richmond forwards did not get the same calls for similar infringements. The inconsistency was *smile*.I thought first two against Astbury were very harsh, they were holding frees but same rules didn't seem to apply to the Tiger forwards.

Just watched it on replay, I didn't see high contact, just a perfectly legitimate bump.

I think it was before Edwards got him, barged through someone just earlier. Looked like he took him high.
Umps clearly paying more frees to forwards. At least any forward not in a tigers jumper. It has to be a directive from above, clearly aimed at increasing scoring.
I just hope we get consistency.

If it were on Dangerflog, there would have been a report for a deliberate trip or unduly rough conduct. Bloody pitiful effort by the maggots missing the shank being thrown out to trip Geezer.We are getting screwed with X Richmond Players getting hard done by.
Today Bulter copped a kick to lower leg which caused him to trip over.
For 3 clowns not to see it.
And when Dan told Chamberlain 'he kicked me'
Chamberlain ignored him and bounced the ball.
I would want to see behind the goals footage to see Excatly where the 3 flogs were standing.
Its unbelievable to think none saw Pittards leg swing out.
If it was Dangerfield the 3 of them would've blown there whistle.
