Greenwood v Selwood

Post: # 1676356Post CURLY »

Greenwood tagged Selwood using every means possible to stop him umpires deemed his tactics as above board. We tag Sloan and the umpires gift him five frees including a deflating early goal. You cannot win with umpires destroying you at every chance.

I only saw the second half (on tv) and my observations were that the umpires didn't cost us the game
BUT
there appeared to be 2 differing rule books out there tonight.
I didn't see too many decisions paid that were not technically correct
But what I did see was an inconsistency in giving 'technical' free kicks - almost entirely not to the Saints.
I don't know why - maybe it's the crowd factor there, but you cannot convince me that the 2 competing teams were treated equally by the umpires in their awarding of frees tonight.
Also,
I reckon Adelaide has rung the umpires during the week to 'ask' about the treatment Sloane copped last week.
He was given an absolute armchair ride tonight - we only had to look at him sideways and he received a free.
Contrast that to the treatment handed out to Jack Steven and the resulting 'protection' he didn't receive.

We looked on at the start then two goals from dubious at best frees took the wind out of us. The free kick count was 7-1 early with three goals from frees.
