About 5 pages of articles in today's West over here about the umpiring and how Freo were robbed etc. Funny, in all the years of West Coast getting it on a silver platter from the umpires, including that cheating pr#ck Margetts, there hasn't been anywhere near as much coverage. We were reamed sideways last week by the umpires so it's nice to have a win for a change.
As for the bleating about the wrong guy taking the kick, who else at the time was thinking "Nooooooo, not Newnes"? His field kicking is very ordinary including missing an absolute sitter on the run, directly in front from about 25m out in the third quarter.
Freo had lots of blokes out, but so did we.....Curnow, McGovern, Cunningham, Martin, Kreuzer, Pittonet, Silvagni, Newman, Marchbank. Not all would demand a spot but having them all available would be handy.
For mine, TDK plays every game from here on in. He just looks so good....very athletic. He'll have his work cut out this week against Witts with his size, but hopefully TDK can run off him and get up and down the ground and expose Witts' lack of pace.
