AFL Rd 11 2024 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Gold Coast

[LP]

Hardwick did make one pertinent point; 131 tackles were laid for very few free kicks.  A lot of those tackles were relatively meaningless, repeat efforts in congestion, but more than a few should have been rewarded with holding the ball free kicks and some should have been punished for holding the man.

Coaches all want a different version of the rules, the version that favours the own game style, don't listen to coaches, listening to coaches is even worse than listening to the media.

Coaches won't even give a consistent interpretation at different ends of the ground!
