    Definite free , but hate how players lower their bodies to earn a free.
    West Coast will get flogged next week . Port squandered it
    Petrie has been massive for them, and that moron Greg Denham bagged Simpson unmercifully for recruiting him.

    Petrie has been fantastic all season. Was massive tonight and schooled Ryder.

    Usually that shit is reserved for us. Happy someone else got a dose of it for a change.

    His form turnaround has been flummoxingly stunning. Looked the most finished of anyone that has ever played last year, but truthfully has been excellent. Vardy has been pretty good too.

    We could probably take something from that.

    Sadly Dixon, with 3.6 played both hero and villain. He definitely willed them back into the game and kept them in it but his missed were costly in the end.
    So GWS will win next week and Sydney will smash Geelong.

    I thought the umpire took a moment to think about it and then blew the whistle. Shuey played for it for sure but Polec almost took his head off which forced the umpires hand....or whistle.
    Correct call IMO

    I agree it was tough on the umpire.

    Rule is idiotic and unworkable, like most rules in the AFL. How can an umpire not pay it in real time? They see instantaneous arm around the neck and have to pay it. I'm very comfortable with it being paid in that instance, much as I hate the tactic.

    I reckon this game shows the difference between a close game and a good game.

    No extra time, but the PF last year at Spotless was a much better game.

    I just watched the free kick for the first time.

    That's a free every day of the week. At no point does he drop his knees. It was a terrible tackle and the right decision was made.

    Some of the kicking for goal was deplorable
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
