You can't call back a live ball after a decision has been made. What a joke this system has become. Just another standard way over correction by the AFL. Small changes just become massive over reactions all the time. Add this to the "Insufficient Attempt", sliding, prior opportunity, stand rule...... The list goes on and just grows year by year

And how was the two handed throw for the goal before that?

Yep. Deadset clear behind but no let’s see what we can do to assist those Handbaggers.

Them, the Throwdogs (the original and best), Cwood, Carlton, Blandbane are all now experts at throwing it. Aided of course by a controlling body (AFL) who , because it’s in their best interests, discretely turns a blind eye
Yep, just proving the old adage, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" Them being the teams who are getting away with it, allowed by the AFL and umps.

Freo won the free kick count 16-12. The touch wasn't obvious and can't be reviewed. There should have been a 50 for dissent to Cottrell.

Freo handed the game to the blue.
Yep. #35 (Teacy) dropping that uncontested overhead mark in the Carlton forward line with 2 minutes to go probably cost them the game

Jamara had 2 x golden opportunities to kick a goal and stuffed them both

Dogs too many tall forwards (Darcy Jamara Naughton) if they don’t mark Pussies easily rebound every time straight into their forward line

To their credit, one of the reasons the Throwdogs are still in this game, is that unlike many other teams, they haven’t let Tom Stewart take a truckload of intercept marks.

In fact he’s only taken 3 marks in total for the entire game so far.
