Round 19 - Other games

Dogs getting their usual free kick count. Almost double their opponents.
 
The stand rule is almost no longer. Umpire says stand, player runs off and nothing.

It's absurd how much that rule has changed throughout the season. It was a shocking rule in the first place and should never have been brought in, but it's a blight on the AFL admin that they've allowed umpires to gradually soften their stance on it across the season.

Great free against Riley West when dropping in a tackle. Brilliant. Dogs supporters booing but it was exactly what you want.

I'm not so sure. Is in the back still a rule? Much larger opponent jumped all over his back, head, the lot. I don't think he was necessarily dropping. Looked like he was off balance. Was caved in from behind.

There is now danger in umps getting it wrong not paying high contact ... as they just did before by not paying a penalty free to Johanissen hit high after a clear mark. Did not get 50m like Dees's player just earlier for exact same thing and certain goal.

Rubbish Leon. He caved when tackled. Didn't try and get rid of it. Perfectly umpired.
