Gotta love bitter south supporters.
WTF would I be bitter??
I just watched the footage out if interest, and as a neutral can say it was pathetic and I hate how games are decided like this. Nothing in it, and if your one that believes if your running back with the flight to spoil it should be an automatic free, you have no idea. This shits me no end, when defenders do it well but get penalised anyway. You an umpire?
I don't know. South supporter commenting on a CD vs Port Power reserves game, not being able to see the ball nor the incident while the ump is in the perfect position and saying its the softest free ever. Not being able to say where's your premiership. Who knows.
I have no problem during a one on one challenge when the defender may turn the other direction during the spoiling action, as long as its with the flight of the ball. Running face on and then jumping - no way. In this case at 3:11 on the replay the 2 defenders are facing away from the ball and attempting to spoil (after misjudging the flight) while the third defender is competing with Jenner; you think that's ok? Im not sure if Jenner did not mark it by getting his hand beneath the ball. More likely though its a blunder by Russell, ironically because the 2 defenders obstructed his view.
No matter, Jenner appears to be the most in control of the situation. If in the panic of the blunder the 3 defenders have manhandled Jenner high, its his free.
We got more than you still...
