    Demonstrative Abuse?

    Surely a Grand Final where we pit the two best teams of the year against each other shouldn't see a free kick awarded in the goal square for 'demonstrative abuse'. They can make these points in the season but it just taints the occasion in a GF.

    It shouldn't matter today as the Hawkins goal shouldn't have been a goal either but surely this is BS.

      Terrible decision.

      What is it with St Kilda receiving ridiculously soft free kicks in front of goals?
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          It is a disgrace, however, what the hell was Milburn sooking about anyway, he was nowhere near it!

              How many free kicks have the umpires missed that should have been paid & how many have they paid that weren't?

              If you supported either team I reckon you'd be going off your nut!

                  Let him sook, but is that worth a free kick in front of goal? Bloody hell the AFL needs to have a real good look at themselves and the whole rules thing.

                      it was a rank decision, but perhaps an even-upperer for the Hawkins "goal".

                          Let both teams sook.

                          They have been the protected species all year - now they know what it is like.

                              Some of the acting has been disgraceful today.

                                      The Dasher 'demonstrative abuse' decision was another take on over umpiring gone mad in the AFL.

                                      The holding the ball / prior opportunity decision is also totally off the scale in being reasonable. A slight tug on a jumper when in possession that doesn't stop momentum or making a play for the ball and getting pinged by a leacher should be let go.

                                          ANOTHER pathetic display by the monkeys... any doubt that they can influence the outcome of a match should be erased by now. Those guys are almost embarrassing. Swap them for some suburban umpires - they couldn't be much worse (and I bet they'd be less precious!)

                                                  I agree that the penalty was way too harsh but I don't think players should be permitted to intimidate goal umpires like Milburn did. But yeah, way too strong a penalty. If [I]absolutely[I] necessary to pay a free, take it back to the centre or something.

                                                  Also, did anyone else notice how quickly greedy little fatboy Schneider raced in to take the free kick? Your teammates still remember the easy ones you missed mate, you're fooling noone.

                                                  Suck it Saints.

                                                      OR the umps could just suck it up...no one could begrudge Milburn a little tanty in the heat of the moment. Even if his spoil missed by about a foot! It's not like he thumped the guy or anything.
