Geez they were awful tonight.
There was a 50 paid against Lynch I think for who knows what - being present on the mark I suppose, barely a minute later Jack gets rolled over after marking the ball, no 50. They did pay one to Lynch which was real soft too but when they are that soft they become very inconsistent.
Didn't think it was possible but the holding the ball decisions were even worse than usual. Prior opportunity means more than a nanosecond before being tackled.
In the last quarter it really did look like the umpires were trying to get Brisbane back into the game.
But one of the worst was when the ball was kicked into our forward line, Lynch took possession and goaled, but, if you look at the play when the ball is coming in Higgins is being held, around the neck, before the ball gets there. Um, holding the man, high tackle anyone?
Disgraceful.
