2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LP]

I don't care about the count.  The majority of them are fair enough, but I did see Levi push Max Gawn in a marking contest in our defensive half near our goal the free kick immediately paid, whilst Max Gawn went two hands into the back of Kreuzer in our defensive fifty resulting in a shot at goal for the Dees with play on being awarded.

On the Levi free I think he was duded, I'm not sure it was even there. From my viewing angle it looked like the umpire threw the ball up over Casboult's head and he basically held his ground under it and shoved Gawn in the chest. Gawn played it up for the umpires. If the umpires think that is fair then ruckmen should start 5m back and run straight into their opponent staging for the free.

The Kreuzer one was just a blatant shove, Gawn should have been penalised. I really don't understand how umpires miss that sort of free kick.

The other bad one for me was the Daisy in the back free, from my angle you could see Daisy take the kid to his knees 1st, before the kid throws himself forward with Daisy rolling to his left side. Good play from the kid, sucked the umpire in big time!
