There was no turning point. Freo butchered basic footy yet again tonight. It was 2013 all over again.
As for umpires, at the end of the games I assistant coach in junior footy, we are always asked about giving feedback for the young umpires. Each week my only feedback is consistency. If you call it one way, you have to call it the other for the whole game. No use reversing how you make a call after the first quarter as the ump has now changed the direction of the game. I saw a Freo player try a Hawthorn move tonight of standing next to the opposition on the mark. The kick was taken again by Hawthorn at the discretion of the ump. 10 minutes later, Hawks did the same thing and it was play on. Consistency.
