Always Right Match Committee Round 12 vs Collingwood

[Curly5]

C'mon mate. He was unlucky but that's a clear 50. Ball knocked out of his hands after a mark - prevents him playing on...that's 50m every day of the week.

Bont knew it as well.

Swans coached to let go of the ball easily if the opponent gets too close. Happened more than once.

Cool. Don't get too close then.

Seems pretty bloody simple to me. Run in with your arms UP or OUT - why you would put them anywhere near the footy in this situation is anyones guess....if Amartey had been half looking to hb/play on in d50 - go for it. On the f50 line with the goals beckoning? Got to be smarter than that.

Footy isn’t a tax return. It’s not a multi billion dollar industry because the fans who support it are foaming at the mouth to see correct adjudications. Sometimes umpires need to know when to piss off.

Darcy is improving at a rapid rate but he needs another bigger body to chop out up forward - last night proved he's not quite ready physically to handle being double and triple teamed, which is what will happen every week that Naughts is out. We're going to gas him if we don't bring another seasoned aerial target in.

The Swans defenders hung off him and often not only double teamed him but stood facing him so he couldn?t run. It felt kind of illegal and in some sort of grey area of what constitutes a block.

Hadn’t seen that. No consistency whatsoever.

Proves pathetic umpiring

[jDogs]

Mihocek went out of the game with hamstring awareness so you'd think he probably misses next week.

I was furious with Bont when he gave away that fifty. It was just one step behind Garcia against the Saints last year unnecessary and a complete lapse in concentration. He had no business putting his hand on the ball and he knew it.

What is worse is the kick that was meant to him went straight to the Swans player. Bad turnover from the youngster.

I'm with you on this one. Sh*t umpiring decision, but equally dumb footy.

I'm much more forgiving of a skill error, no matter how bad, than a careless action that gives away a needless 50.

[macca]

My prediction, surprise packet in : Trent Bianco after successful mid-season draft.

[LifeLongBulldog]

Great prediction. That would definitely be a Bevo move. Playing your first game straight away after the draft and against his old side.

No, all players have skill errors, even the great players Ablett Jnr, Dusty, Bont etc etc, but your captain just doing that was just dumb and he knew it straight away.
