Just on Jones' late bump on Stevie J, the free kick was definitely there but sometimes in our game the punishment doesn't fit the crime and that was one of them.
It wasn't high and Johnson got straight to his feet, and it was only marginally late, yet the penalty was a certain goal.
The 50 paid to Gibbs was a bit soft as well, but Gibbs at least had to convert from 45 metres.
I don't know what can be done about it but close games shouldn't be decided by 50/50 umpiring calls.
Overall I thought that the umpiring was good and the umpires are only following instructions, but some calls don't seem to pay enough respect to the spirit of the game in my opinion.

The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
