Round 3 Carlton v Essendon-Post match thread

[Swan43]

Oh - and btw, that horrific interfence/shepherding rule in marking contests will ruin this game. Those 2 decisions that went Essendon's way were absolute howlers.

On the money, Brettie. Can't see how Yarran can be pinged when he was dead centre of the drop-zone. No matter what he did with his positioning, it's up to others to get around him legally, not for him to invite them to mark. Only an ump having as bad a game as that one did couldn't see that. Put his whistle away too many times after that for mine, to our detriment, much as I hate potting the umps.

Much as I like Chappie as a player, he was asking for it. Sad no one nailed Melksham. What an embarrassment to the game he is.
