The Moment: Rnd 16, 2023 vs Fremantle

[Grantysghost]

Probably the Dodgy Ryan free that Lobb goaled from. Turned the momentum completely back in our favour

You didn't think that was a free?

I thought it was completely unrealistic that attempt, he wouldn't mark that if he had 1000 tries and took Lobb out the contest.

I was surprised by the leeway they give holding the ball now.
Saw a few 540s and 720s!

Mines a period of moment-um.

After Freo hit the lead through Darcy and we got two centre free kicks and went on a roll.

I'm claiming Whitten Oval training for the win.

Not sure if anyone went on the ground after the game.
I walked across it, made a point of testing the firmness.... Man it's hard.

He got his hand to the ball so it wasnt unrealistic, he just didnt mark it. The ump just guessed our way.

Hmm. Well it's not an unrealistic attempt to touch the ball it's to mark it

At the game it looked absolutely absurd.

Hear your point though. There were a few decisions at crucial times we got in dangerous positions.

Freo got a bit sloppy.

Edit : I checked the rule 18.5e and it's an unrealistic attempt to CONTEST or SPOIL a mark which interferes with an opposition player.
