Just watching the game. The first mark of the year was taken by Walsh sixty out. Two Richmond players ran past him inside the 10 metre protected area. Nothing. Ten seconds later, the same umpire awarded Edwards the 50 metre penalty for a goal. Just in case Dimma thinks they were hard done by.
I've watched the game 3 times now.
There's ample examples of umpires turning a blind eye to infringements made by Tigers.
Blatant push in the backs, dropping knees, Holding, Dusty is out of control out there with his aggression and never pulled up.
Once I worked out what was going on to keep our boys out of the play, I think we did really well.
We seemed to control the game. I enjoyed watching the game after the first time, and I'll watch it again.
Their backmen got pulled up a few times for infringements but they constantly illegally block, hold, shepherd our forwards more than they got pulled up for it.
Levi would have been great to have as our key forward, coz he's a big log and hard to move ditto Charlie and Harry.
We will surprise a few this year ... especially when we have a fair umpire adjudicating.
Been going on for a few years now bondi, they have turned out just as bad than hawthorn at the height of their success if not worse, one thing they do better than hawthorn however is how clumsy they pretend to be while impeding their opponent, to me that's fine but what i don't understand is the lack of understanding or judgement from those maggots adjudicating each and every game
