    it should have been 50 anyway because Waite would not let Ted back from the mark. He kept grabbing him. By the way teddy should not handball in that situation.

    The free against Parker, i think it as in the last, for deliberately butting head was crap. how can you butt head when you have been tackled around the neck from behind. Baffling! The umpiring was crap. I think since we got Buddly the AFL has told the umpires to go hard on us.

    Parkers side step and slipping through heavy traffick last night was incredible. The piece of play where he and Reid kept bustling and scrapping to keep the ball inside the boundary line in our forward pocket that led to Parkers snap to Goodes was possibly my favourite moment of the night.

    Here's the video. The Swallow free was completely correct to the spirit and letter of the law.

    I think it was in the last quarter. He got a free against him on the HBF. North got a goal from it. He was pulled what looked to be high but got penalised for holding the ball.

    Yes Swallow kept moving into Goodes and at no time tries to get rid of the ball.

    Oh yeh I remember that! I was busy watching whether or not he got a foot on it to see if it was high or not...I'll have to have a look at the replay

    This is a video segment shown every Tuesday on the AFL website. Has always been worth watching but in my view is much improved this year.

    Hayden Kennedy (AFL Umpires Head Coach) and an ex-AFL player discuss contentious decisions from the round just completed. Kennedy is clear in his answers and refreshingly honest and they seem to use sensible ex-players.
    The discussion on the new 'head-leading' interpretation on holding the ball was a one-off special segment because of the mid-season introduction of the rule change.

    I think we would all agree with that theory, there has been an obvious change in the umpires attitude towards the Swans, it seems to be "You can't have everything". Gee, where have I heard that before??

Takes real skill to see that as a free to Norf.
    The concerning thing for me was that to make this decision shows a clear failure to understand the rules of the game - how do you get to umpire at this level if you're capable of just not knowing the rules?

    Don't worry, there is a long line of umpires of many a year that we all wonder how they got to AFL level without knowing the rules.
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
