Finals Week 2- Carlton vs West Coast Live Scores

[Turbo]

I thought the umpiring reverted to H&A-like umpiring (which affected both teams). There were too many soft free kicks that you would not normally expect to see in a final. Which brings me to another point, why do the umpires put away the whistle in finals, particularly the GF? It irks the **** out of me. There is one set of rules, however the interpretation changes significantly on GF day. Has 'The Giesch' ever come out and explained this phenomenon?

Having said that, even though I was cheering for Carlton, I'm not upset that Walker wasn't awarded a free in the last minutes. Even though the way the game was umpired it probably should've constituted a free, I wonder what the decision might have been if it happened down the other end?

Umpiring was average at best

Or if the game was in Melbourne.

No free kick. Play on.

Win at Ethiad during the season and it's not a problem. Carlton haven't been able to beat the top four all year.

The umpiring wad bad. But it seemed like they put the whistle away a bit more for the last term.

Yep. Should've beaten teams but didn't. Etihad doesn't suit our game style, so I hope we play the better sides at the G next season.

IIRC 22 frees in the first.

4 in the last

[Johno6]

its a joke how that happens. because they dont want a free kick to cost the game... but if its there its there.

IMO i didnt think the walker one was (i may be a little bias)
but still a fantastic game, hoping to get within 5 oals of cats on the weekend

Walker could have almost given away a free for hands in the back. He clearly had an open palm in the center of Glass's back so technically that could have been payed also. IMO the correct 'Play On' call was made.
