also needs its own post. How ridiculous that it is now better not to go for the ball. Surely when neither person is at the ball, a player should be allowed to dive down to get it.
The White free that he gave away in the last quarter was a real head scratcher..... _________________ Ohhh, the Premiership's a cakewalk ....... |

As was another one paid against us. A woeful rule change. _________________ "And that effort by Ezard was pathetic" - Don Scott. |

I honestly thought White was being paid the free.
The rule isn't being used the way it was intended, pathetic interpretation IMO. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

The way I saw the White call was that he was in front and had eyes for the ball. The only query is whether he knew that was a risk for the other player, and I think he did know. For me it was a 50/50, and the fact it was in front of goal probably swung it their way.
On another point of rule, what about that howler with the Melbourne player throwing that ball back into goal. Oh how we laughed. _________________ McRae for Governor-General! |

White was clearly going for the ball with the dees player coming in from the side… surely play on.
Pendles was pushed and it was bloody obvious by the way he fell - another poor call from the ump on a day when they were pretty ordinary! _________________ Love us or Hate us... we are Collingwood - you can't ignore the Mighty Magpies!!! |

This rule is seriously stuffed.

Disgraceful interpretation of the rule that nearly cost us 2 goals. Brody was pushed to the ground and his momentum obviously was going forward as a result of this so how that was a free has got me f***ed. The other one saw White attacking the ball with the melscum player in the way. How that was called a free has got me f***ed as well.
Week after week we're subjected to blatant cheating by those fluro maggots. They did everything to kill our momentum and bring the scum back in the game. Don't get me started on holding the ball. |

The most ridiculous thing with teh White one was that he was actually first to the ball and then Howe (?) comes in with knees oevr the top of him- perhaps the umps were listening to the big ape Dunstall's commentary during the suns game! |

I'm surprised most of you are talking about the White one when the Grundy one was even worse. He was pushed into him for Gods sake!! _________________ "We ain't gotta dream no more" |

The one against Grundy earlier in the game was the worst one.
He actually got pushed to ground and a Dees player fell over him.
What is Grundy supposed to do? Dig a bloody hole and disapear before the opposition player gets there?
Worst decision I've seen in a long time.
The White one was always going to be paid, but it's completely against the spirit of the game. |

The only risk to the Melbourne player was due to the fact he didn't go in and get the pill!!
You can't be rewarding blokes for hanging out. White showed one of his rare acts of desperation and got penalised for it. FMD.

This will start a new fashion now you watch. Players will begin to deliberately fall over their opponent knowing full well that the maggot scumps will pay them a free for taking out the legs. Just like selwood when he drops in a tackle in order to receive a free for high contact. Scumps have set the precedent now. |

Thought the White decision was the exact case the rule was altered to address. White could equally remained on his feet and pushed through with the ball in front of himself but chose to go to ground, which incidentally the worst place a player can be.
The Grundy decision was just a disgrace, especially as the umpire had a birds eye view. |
