Could look ugly for Oliver, hopefully a glancing blow but looked like a dive

Helluva half of footy. So the umpires have no way to pay a free in that situation? Surely it's a free from the centre at the start of the next quarter. That rule would stop a lot of those half-time "meleés".

McGavin, much like the rest of his team is a pathetic little snipping turd and a downhill skier. 

Wasn't it Schofield?

Love how this team support each other now. 

Loved that quarter from our boys, got on top around the contest and finished strong. Just need to keep our feet and make the most of our set shots and we got this. Go dees!

These umpires are disgraceful.

Why would he dive? It was after the siren, so there's no free kick. All he'd be doing is making himself look like a dill.

The angle on tv didn't do it justice, but I doubt Oliver would be holding his mouth if he wasn't hit in the face. He isn't that sort of player. Nor would the umpire put a report.

Agree, I thought he hammed it up big time.

I was talking about the tackle on Hunt. Then that happened. 

Poor effort from Pedo and any other talls that were in the area when McGovern got Hunt. Harmes and ANB the only ones to fly the flag. Needed Gawn to throw McGovern over the fence. 

Petrie = Kent Kingsley

And weak as.  Did you see Shui in one ump's face mouthing off!?? Should have been a free kick against for abuse

I agree  I think he contacted,but over reaction

Thought the same thing initially but pretty sure he got smacked in the teeth - every reason to go down like he did.

As we all know, you're fighting a 4 goal umpiring bias in the west, and you'll never see a more obvious example than Jeffy's perfect dispossessing tackle in that last bit. The very definition of spineless, unaccountable umpiring. 

Forgot how much I dislike West Coast. Pack of crabs.

We're leading in Perth despite having about 5 players with either no influence or playing awfully - Garlett, Pedersen and Melksham all struggling, Hunt and Oliver being tagged out of it.

I can't believe how good Gawn has been after a 10 week layoff. Viney playing his best game for a year, if not longer, Tyson dominating in the clearances.

ANB's decision to kick instead of pass to Bugg was a bad one. Hannan should have kicked his late shot too. Either of those give us a nicer buffer but I'm pleased to be leading in the circumstances.

And on that last skirmish, either Schofield is a dog or Oliver will be copping a fine for staging. I'd be surprised if Oliver would take a dive like that but it did not look like much contact, that's for sure.

Need to convert this quarter

Agreed. Nothing in it. Intent was there. Execution was terrible. Oliver gets the Razzie for worst performance in a supporting role. 

Let's not overlook Viney's greatest half of football ever. 

Perfect. 

Pedersen needs to lift or he will lose his spot to Watts next week.

mmmmmmm

Petrie is like the Ghost of Christmas Past

Never did like North
