All of them in the final quarter, which resulted in goals to the window-winders
Free kick to Dangerfield for “in danger” against Liam Stocker (who even got injured in the process); the one against Bonner for deliberate rushed behind and that missed holding the ball was absolute hotseshit that really screwed our chances
Or am I wrong?
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
I doubt you’ll get too many detractors for that one.
As a general rule of thumb… I don’t like to blame the umps for anything and just accept the swings and roundabouts m but that last quarter seemed pretty atrocious to me
Are you wrong?
Yes.
Free to Danger was contact below the knee. It was a shocker but he kicked a point.
Free against Bonner was harsh. But Henry put it out on the full.
I assume the holding the ball was near the boundary. It could have been paid but no prior and Steele knocked it out of his hands.
I’d focus on the number of throws they got away with, including Cameron in the lead up to the last goal.

Actually - not below the knee - on the knee - as in Danger kneed Stocker - not stocker diving in front or sliding in.
Can you show me where in the below picture Stocker causes contact with Danger - as in where does Stocker approach Danger - it looks to me the other way around. Also looks to me that Stocker is focused on the ball and Danger on Stocker.

Not sure why you're quoting me. It was a shocker but the OP said they were all by number 4 and all resulted in goals, he also said this one was for in danger. Dangerfield kicked a point from this shot and the free which was a shocker was for contact below the knee.

Merely using you to illustrate what the call was for - and disputing it.

Stocker was there first
Dangers knee into his back (spine)
Stocker goes down and off injured and may not play next week
How the fxxx is that a free to a danger ?
We butchered the ball but the umps reamed us at crucial times in the last quarter

The Bonner decision was No 9. I thought he actually fumbled the ball in trying to pick it up.
The Stocker decision was in the back. Stocker had his hands on the ball before Dangerfield even entered the contest.
The holding the ball decision was a result of the umpire who paid the free being behind the player (dunno which number). The instructions to umpires in the past was, "if you can't see it, don't pay it."

I said it was a shocker. But it looks like we're in furious agreement.
The one I thought was way worse was the mark interference 7 seconds left in the first against Henry - front on contact - running with the flight - does not touch the ball - tunnels Henry
Review the pic - there is no way his fist punches anything but Henry's arm - and he takes the body as well.
Led to Cameron's first goal to take the lead into quarter time.

How about first quarter free against NWM for blocking when all he did was hold his position and watch the ball all the way into his team mates hands. Cat crashed into him trying to spoil, quite late.
All those things count in a close game.
Poor umpiring. Some umpires seem to think they can second guess the play rather than paying the obvious.
Hawkins, always a thrower, is doing it more (the few times he gets near it) because his reflexes are now not up to it. We got them at the wrong time of the year.
Blicavs, a prick, pushed Byrnes over while he was hunched on the ground in pain. Nothing.

Nothing at the other end though in exactly the same scenario

I probably should have said the Danger free was a shocker.
I think I understand the confusion - at least my initial reading of your post was the OP was wrong that the frees were shockers
You were saying OP was wrong they were all by #4
Wrong that they were all by #4 and only one of them resulted in a goal not all three as stated.
So …unlike yourself…most of us are getting angry unnecessarily and overreacting. It was only one goal given for a dubious non-decision against Steele. If it had been 3 goals from 3 wrong decisions then the thread would be justified

Jobe Watson thought it was fantastic that Clarke ‘put his body on the line’.
More like he lined up Liam’s body and a free should have been paid for the tunnelling action…like you pointed out
Then you have the likes of Hamish McLaughlin (Cats supporter) only referencing the excitement of the hillbillies in the stand and 2 turd ex Geelong players also in the commentary team saying nothing!!
People wonder why I listen to the replays with the sound turned down
It's not whether a shocker immediately leads to a goal. They incorrectly skew the course of the game, probably not in favour of the penalised team. Possession very important. Momentum very Important. Chaos theory lives.

What about the high contact on Stocker? Dangermouse's hand is clearly in contact over Liam's shoulder (high).
Sam Mitchell from Hawthorn used to lift his knee and give opposition players a corky. He got away with it until the media highlighted that he was doing it constantly and it was a dog act
... similarly ...Just a real dog act by Dangerfield to cork Stocker like that.
