No complaints about holding the ball to me.
While the game is played this free kick rule will always be an issue.
Remember umpires make mistakes like players and they know the rules.
Speaking of player errors,I counted at least 10 player hand ball errors in the first quarter alone!

First round or two this was evident.
Now in June it's gone the opposite way, have the SANFL changed their mind and did I miss the press release?
Players can now do 720 degree turns, drop it, pick it up, have a cup of tea and then go to ground clinging to the ball and not get pinged.
One North player yesterday got the ball, tried to take it through the West player only to have an awesome tackle applied to him which sent him backwards only to have the umpire call a ball up?
It was probably the most blatant holding the ball all day.
In round 1 if a player got touched with the ball it was holding the ball?
If nothing has changed do we blame the umpires it the umpires coaches?

Agree. I think the incident you are referring to was in the 3rd quarter when the north player (sorry I don't recall the name) tried to run through Daniel Webb who wrapped him up and even sent the north player backwards without legally disposing of the ball. Obviously my bias in umpiring calls goes to West, but I thought this was the most obvious free of the day!
