He ducked his head into the oncoming player.  That's on Spargo and he was rightfully pinged

Great decision by the umpire

By the way, if we're are being honest we had the better of the umpiring yesterday as we did against the Eagles

 

First paragraph, no he didn"t, he was already there at that height and stationary. No one should categorize every decision to be the same, because they do not have the same result.

Second paragraph, one shouldn't applaud a decision that had an obvious intention to contact and hurt instead of wrap up, with the same result. Umpire carelessness in my opinion and resulted in trauma and concussion, which could have been avoided.

Third paragraph, aside from statistically what part of the umpiring did we have the better of ?  Free kicks in forward line, Fifty metre penalties?? Dangerous uncalled tackles?

I am trying to be honest but i do love the Club and their players and try that balance every year against magnanimous odds of stupidity and constant bias and manipulation of things like rule of the week and secret rule of the week and favouritism and Brownlow Medal......
