Worth doing?

I actually think it was the right decision. The 50 was a bit tough, especially considering that we didn't get one when the Bombers did the same thing earlier in the game. The umpire made the correct decision. What is the problem is the rule.

Didn't see the game so have no idea. My biggest issue is that there is no consistency to the rule. If Richo was paid free's for chopping the arms or hands in the back he would kick 6 or 8 every week. He just can't buy a free kick when other get them for looking in the general direction of the umpire.

Robbed ? It's part of the game. Free was 50/50 this year, 50m penalty a joke, but christ, we were 18 points up with 6 mins to go. We should have NEVER been in that position to lose it because of one dodgy decision.

My thoughts too Baloo.

Still it's a clever idea. The guy is probably an Essendon supporter trying to wring a few dollars out of the stupid Richmond supporters though.

Thought it sounded good at first but the more I think about it ... nah, best just let it go, there's a lot more we should be worrying about rather than a dodgy push in the back. Wouldn't want to remind the kids next week, might be a bit of a downer for them and they should be concentrating on beating the Lions.
