FREO was awarded 2 soft 50 m penalties which killed the swans
The frees were soft but the 50 m penatlies were just over umpiring in a technicality
#1. Ball throw back was not staight to the player
#2. Swans player was not standing on the mark correctly . Could not hear any whistle and was gun happy to award 50 m, instantly
. I find it hard now to watch afl games now with such putrid umpiring
Also the swans lost Mils which fas a huge factor
1. Blakey didn't like the decision to reverse the kick and threw the ball 2 metres over the Freo player. Clear 50m penalty.
2. Rowbottom was 2 metres over the mark. When the protected zone infringement is that blatant, umpires are instructed to pay 50m without a warning (as players aren't that stupid and know exactly what they are doing).
The umpiring was correct - the Swans discipline was putrid.
