My favourite was in the Sydney - Hawthorn game. Sydney player takes possession 40m out from the goal they are defending, and immediately goes to kick it. Gets tackled, ball misses foot, pffft, free kick. Goal. A few minutes later, Puopelo has, if anything, more time. Tries to kick while lying on the ground - misses his foot - play on.
And I don't get it. You get tackled and drop the ball, its a free kick against you. You get tackled and hold onto the ball as hard as you can while pretending that you are trying to handball it, and all is fine. You get tackled and hold onto the ball with all your might until you see friendly hands nearby and then you let the ball get ripped from your grasp - just fine.
