But when you look at the whole game...... We muffed up plenty of opportunity.
Absolutely...there's really no '15-Metergate', Eli and Paddy both had late shots at goal that missed, both would have iced the game. In a close loss you can go back and dissect any number of opportunities and c**k-ups, but it's relatively pointless of course. Hell, Sam Mitchell almost died of leather poisoning, so we can't claim we played a text-book game! Very gracious of Clarko to give us a nod, but it's all PR.

Anyways, IMO only the first call was incorrect, the second was fine, but the pressure was on by then, forcing the turn-over.

Our mate in yellow could have had a Hawks tattoo on his head, we had an ex-player out there! Having said that, I'd hope the AFL publishes one of their feel-good articles admitting there was a mistake, and have a quiet whisper in said maggots ear about discretion.

You would be wrong - apparently both kicks were measured and both were over 15m

You're very confident...I didn't see anyone produce a tape measure.

Surely by now the umps would have forgotten about Schnides? Feels like a con job to me.

Robbo tweeting about this now. Someone suggesting the Twitter account has been changed. Afl360 might be worth watching this evening.

The A F L has already stated that both decisions were incorrect calls.

It wasn't just the 15 metre gate, it was other doddgy kicks in front of goal, and not paying us kicks that the Hawks were getting. :evil: :evil: :evil:

... and his interpretation of the advantage rule which allowed the Hawks to play on and also take the free kick if it didn't work out -- the AFL equivalent of having your cake and eating it. It cost us at least one goal in the final quarter.

Yeah but no-one in the mainstream media has noted that he barracks for Hawthorn and has it on his Twitter account. Robbo might tonight.

So this umpire has just changed his twitter background to a non-Hawthorn image.

Responding in this manner makes this even more suss..

Looking forward to the AFL stage managed response.

Radar from SEN was all over it today as well. Wouldn't run with it due to defamation. Tried to log in to his twitter and now changed to private so can get on.

It was private. Now it's not.

Maybe he's got nothing to hide.
