A lot of talk about who should have taken the last kick. In the mayhem that was happening, the umpire making the decision probably was looking for a Fremantle player, being unaware of the downfield free kick. To then try to work out who the closest Blues player was is much harder as they have moved around. It is easy to look at a screen after the event to see whose kick it was and where it should have been taken from.
In terms of the defence of Brayshaw - he was in the air, there was nothing he could do - how does that matter? It was late Given the couple of in the back frees we had given away in the last quarter (correct decisions) a bit of consistency means it had to be paid. Love the commentators trying to defend Brayshaw on that.
I think that Docherty did see Brayshaw and it affected his kick, which was probably a good thing, otherwise it would have just been a bomb into our forward line that we wouldn't have marked or roved.
So glad we won after again trying so hard not to!
