We made too many poor decisions today. We executed pretty badly at times too.
There were lots of bonus goals given to the eagles. That simpson free kick was disgusting. The actions cancelled each other out. To give a stager a free goal when his team was coasting is simply poor judgement by umpires.
I don't know why they bother with cheapies like that when it's a 6 goal game. Lacks understanding of what's happening and what the game demands.
I understand that holding players off the ball is a free, and I understand that forwards holding defenders on the goal line is kosher when it wouldn't be any other time. One of darling's Mark's came because Kennedy was shepherding weitering on the goal line and the ball dropped short. Weitering was simply trying to attack darling who took an uncontested mark, whilst weitering was not able to get a run at it thanks to Kennedy. Its accepted that had a carlton player marked it, weitering would have held Kennedy out and that's a free kick. Why not for weitering in reverse?
The umpires gave west coast a lot of free goals. At half time I had them at 4 goals. Given it was 9 goals 5, to 6 goals 3, that's a game turning impact.
We weren't going to do much today, but I can't understand how we get so hard done by when we aren't looked after. One of west coasts goals came on the back of a non free to Murphy in the first quarter. Head high contact, got pinged for holding the ball, and then a nothing 50 metre penalty. Its crap.
