Saad first pushed Lachie McNeil in the back and then caught Lachie Hunter high as the Dogs’ ballwinner swivelled and leant in with his head to draw the high contact 35m from goal. Nice set shot from Hunter to slot his second major."I thought the frees were there and we would have wanted them paid if it was our players but that wasnt why we lost...those two goals wouldnt have been a factor if Jack and Fogarty had kicked those easy ones and the Bont wasnt allowed that easy mark in the goalsquare. Saad had a bit of a shocker and wasnt his usual switched on self, he had been manned up all day to stop his run and I would have moved him onto a wing.
niether of them were free kicks!!! dogs got a lot of iffy frees early, which we weathered. what we couldnt weather, was the "monstering" (as someone on here put it) at stoppages. some of it was sheer brilliance by Bont, Mccrae and Treloar, but some of it was down to our blokes being tackled before they had the footy, and blocked off the footy etc.
in the Sun, the article next to this one is Bevvo complaining about Bont's deliberate out of bounds (which was a terrible call) - the article also mentions the Dogs have had the least frees against this year. they certainly seemed to get away with a bit against us. as a few on here have pointed out - we never complain about this stuff in the media. Bevvo does, and they get away with a bit more on field... coincidence?
