Watching games recently, especially the second part of the split round, we gradually became aware of a change in the game. It seems a lot, lot harder to get free-kicked for holding the ball.
Even Steve McBurney’s hair-trigger whistle seemed almost quiet
Perhaps it was the torrential conditions of the MCG on Friday night and the mildly slippery Homebush stadium that influenced our perception. The coming round will tell, but The Giesch has prior ‘form’ for radical overhauls of interpretations during a season.
Perhaps it was the baying media pack demanding protection, and some rights, for the bloke going in to get the ball that has driven The Giesch to spruce up the interpretations again?
Perhaps we’re running way too soon? Whatever! Can we just have a season where the interpretation we start with is the one we end with? Release The Giesch!!!
