Have those wacky umpires (Grun, Nicholls, Head) have done it again, or is he a great tackler.

It's one thing I don't think anyone can dispute Kraks is good at doing - tackling.

 

[Redford]

He is good at tackling. (How do we get him to train Pettifer in the art ?)

i'd hate to say it but i thought the umpiring was reasonable yesterday. i hardley noticed them except for when the geelong ferals were booing for god knows what reason at half time.

it's a pity umpire jobby didn't rig it for campbo though ;D

Free kicks don't always tell the story. Two non-decisions that stood out: Bowden goes back with the flight and is collected head-high by Mooney, no free kick, goal. In the second quarter a handbagger tries to take on Hartigan, is caught, has an eternity to get rid of it and then incorrectly disposes of the football. Play on, goal. Bit of comic relief in the last when Gaspar was standing the mark, smothered the ball, snatched it after it rebounded in the air and was paid the mark ;D

Yeah umpires were good on Sunday.

Krakouers tackle on Sanderson was a beauty. When he grabbed his hand aswell and threw him to the ground it was magic.

The Krak free kick in front of goal was pretty soft ... Then they weren't paid what they beleived should have been (it shouldn't have been lol) holding the ball.

That's what the hicks were booing.

Yeah they were pretty happy about Johnson not being paid advantage on the boundary line when he slotted that goal. Then when he went back & lined up - OUT ON THE FULL!! :hihi :hihi
