Now it's time for Balme or Gale to unleash.

Same. I actually thought it would be recalled at the time for a kick in. What a disgrace.
That’s who I am referring to TM. The umpires have been handed an impossible task of adjudicating these rules
This sort of thing happens multiple times every game every week and you think after one garbage decision in one game every player should change the way they play?
Ah, but O'Keefe is wrong.
There was common sense in Friday nights game, so the game's in great shape!
It was just commonsense to allow that one through. He was just passing to the crowd.
I agree with you but, for me, I would be happy enough if the rules were interpreted in exactly the same way for both teams on the park. This rarely happens
Can you imagine the umpiring afterwards?
60 free kicks, 2 for Richmond
I was listening on radio and the commentators mentioned they were surprised it wasn’t reviewed. On that image it’s clearly over the line, was any contact before the line?
was the one with Neale in the picture paid against Neale, or against the hawk who did the exact same thing back?
Just watched the last qtr game against Essendon in 95.
The Maxfield goal game.
As soon as the siren goals, Graham Bond says 'the Richmond supporters not to happy with the umpires"
A massive boo can be heard when the umpires leave the ground.

Which begs the obvious question - how do you decide which frees are not going to be paid?
If you see an infringement you pay the free. The infringements will reduce.
At the moment we had our game with 61 free kicks and Melbourne v Freo with 27 free kicks. How does that happen if both games are adjudicated the same?

This is why we need to take common sense out as its just another interpretation that will cause inconsistencies. Umpire against what's in the rule book black and white. If necessary tweak the rules not interpretations that are objective.
The umpires have to decide whether a tackle is dangerous, whether a slight lifting of the arms is dissent, whether a player just kicked the ball poorly or showed insuffient intent to keep the ball in play etc etc etc.
No wonder we get inconsistency
This is the legacy of SHocking being continued by BScott

It was close so why no review?
That's not a difficult decision, there is no positioning issue when calling for a review, nerves etc don't stop you calling for a review.
What is the excuse?
Now, I reckon our defenders played this situation badly, but clearly this is a clanger . . . precisely what the ARC is supposed to deal with.
Makes no sense.
