I stll find it a bit 'bizarre' that a side that was pretty disciplined for 99% of the game lost that discipline in the last minute.
I don't mind 'bizarre'

I find it disingenuous and simply wrong to see our win labelled as a 'steal', or 'controversial' or 'ridiculous'...
Yes, Freo did compress us and play extremely well. However, we did have more inside 50s (narrowly) and 5 more shots on goal, and Freo did get six goals from frees (most there but a couple were not).
Nothing controversial or wrong with our last two goals. Undisciplined actions from a couple of Freo players gave the umpires no alternative other than awarding the two frees resulting in the last goal. All players know that abusing an umpire, and vehemently questioning a decision will get you nowhere, or worse. As Longmuir admitted in his media conference, we are a well drilled side and you cannot give us any chance.
Yes, Freo seemed the better side, narrowly, for most of the game... but we would not go away - character.

In any case, as you said a couple of their 6 frees resulting in goals from the top of the square (the Kemp one I recall) were flat out wrong. We gave away a couple of silly ones trying to take on the tackler deep in defence so they were there. They could not have played any better and we pretty much stayed with them all day. Did we steal the win? Probably. Swings and roundabouts.

It was a sea saw match and goals often came against the run of play.
They controlled the first term.
We controlled the 2nd.
We controlled the start of the 3rd, they controlled the end of the 3rd.
In the 4th we started well then they took over then we went all out attack at the end to win.

Ugly, different, scrappy, lucky, narrow, against the tide. No matter what you call it, or how you saw it. A win is a win. Bank the 4 points. Keep practising closing out scenarios. Celebrate the win and congratulate your opponents for a good game.
No more. No less.
Good sides find a way to win. That's what our boys are doing.
Big shout out to Weiters-and Williams-- welcome back to form. Also to the Matts. For finding 5 (?) goals when goals were scarce ??

Apparently Clark called the umpire a "cheat" which if true, is a massive no-no which prompted the double free-kick. Going on past performances, Clark could face the tribunal as well for that, they normally frown on that behaviour very strongly.
The mark to Cottrell .......... it would have been very hard not to pay it based on the fact it "may" have grazed Aish's arm or hair, I reckon that happens 100 times in a match and if the umpire does not have a clear view of it then they have no chance of calling it.
As for Kennedy's free kick, Johnson pulled his jumper, it was as clear as day and warranted a free kick. Every week I see Curnow & McKay get their jumpers pulled in an attempt to impede their run at the ball and the umpires miss it.
Added to that, I see jumper grabbing all around the ground in all games, especially the ruck, yet they either miss them or conveniently let them go.
I'd like to see a strong & consistent clampdown on all jumper grabbing (forwards, mids, taggers, rucks & defenders), they have been far too lenient in this area which has lead to the ongoing conjecture of how & when they get paid.
I feel for Freo, they played very well and IMO, were the better team overall but it may have been only a brain-fade at the death that cost them the match.

Under the 90s match ratio method of deciding ladder position we are on top. Only sides above us have played one more game and had a loss.

Fogarty case will be interesting, the interchange side view shows him punching the footy and seemingly making contact with Fyfe's right arm or the footy first, but then Fogarty's left arm / fingers hit Fyfe in the throat.
The media are doing it's best to hang Fogarty and pump up the controversy by showing the blindside view, which makes it looks like Fogarty's right fist hits Fyfe.
