TAKA DENIED BY CRONK!

Posted by josh jones on September 10, 2017 at 8:15am

So we have got penalised numerous times for impeding chasers over the last couple weeks which is fair enough but when it happens to us nothing. Cronk changed his line and moved backwards just to intentionally deny Taka any chance of contesting that last kick of the game. Without that Taka was a great chance to get to it and perhaps score or at least keep it alive. Either way shoulda been a penalty. Agree/Disagree?

Taka is a bit taller than Slater and don't remember Slater jumping
But should have been a penalty along with the three players leaving their line early non penalty
6-1 penalty count in second half with those glaring let offs for Melbourne

Taka was taken out by harris as well. He backed up several stepps to get to him and then kept going pushing him off the ball

Chambers should have been penalised for holding up the game too - that was another penalty missed.

  Yep least Kenny gets the cramps wether it's right or not. Chambers was right under the refs nose and defiantly keeps laying down after being picked up think it was three times.

  2 points at that time and we may have taken the game. The boys will be angry now and will want to make up for that now. Bring on Saturday night!

Kenny definitely made the effort to tap it back what the ball does after that should've been irrelevant. He did not bat it forward.

  Absolutely Macy, as long as the ball isn’t intentionally thrown forward it’s play on.
  Here I am this morning still spitting chips and feeling miserable.....

yeah really felt for Kenny at that moment. He does anything slightly wrong he cops A Tsunami of critism equal to that of an axe murderer, he does something great and this happens. He was outstanding yesterday and deserved better.
What worries me is what happens if next week we suffer more cruel unfair decisions. The players are only human.
