There were other instances 30+m off the ball where he was prevented from running (had his arm held) and prevented from leading (opponents arms wrapped around him) when the ball was heading towards our 50 arc. The fans could see it and surely at least one of the umpires should've seen what was happening - my guess is they didn't want to be seen as paying a "soft" free off the ball.

Oops. Too much data.

Ed and Buckley should use their media opportunities to push the company line also.

The only way we'll see positive change is if we create enough noise.

Do you think BT got the footage and idea himself? I am sure the club have seen him as a vehicle to get this view out there in the media without Ed and Bucks publicly leading the campaign and Joe Public responding 'have a sook' or 'Ed runs the AFL' in the event that more free kicks get paid.

The umpires treat Mason as a Circus act, they do not respect him and treat him with disdain. Mason has to continue along and earn their respect which is ridiculous but that's how it is.

I've never seen another forward infringed quite as blatantly as he is. You're right, it's as if the umpires think his height is an unfair advantage so to level the playing field they turn a blind eye to blocking and chopping. The umpires used to look after Paul Salmon.

I watched the game twice and saw at least 12 instances of him being held by the arm or jumper and it not being paid
It's a disgrace to see this happen week in week out
I hope Bucks and Eddie get the footage and ask for a please explain from the umpiring department
If only 3 or 4 of those are paid we are close to winning especially when he was only 15-30m out in most instances and would have easily kicked the goals

They are not chopping his arm or tunnelling as much.
But they are holding his arm all the bloody time!!!!!!!

Cox - super tall, and American.
So he always looks like he's monstering his opponent,
and the umpires can always claim that he doesn't understand the rules.

It's absolutely ridiculous.
He's being robbed time and time again.

Umps have lost a lot of credibility this season and not just with Mason. How can the dons have a big whinge and get a clear advantage the week after and it flying under the radar is beyond me. It just shows that they are too influential in deciding the outcome.

The first few calls in the tigers game were atrocious and blatantly trying to manufacture advantage.

To be fair AFL is a harder game to adjudicate on than the NRL but they seem to have thrown out the idea of making a correct call for balancing the ledger or appeasing both sides of the fence. If a team is giving away too many frees why wouldn't be the players incompetence or the training they receive be at fault over another team. There is no reason a penalty balance should occur.

The AFL are creating a farce of the rules.

Is it every team to an equal extent, or mainly Richmond, who did/does this?

He Kick 100 Goals in a Season IF he got all the Frees he Should

Settle down. Half his free kicks (no calls) are beyond 50m.

^ So why no 50m penalties then?

Trav Cloke wanted to take out AVOs against the key defenders because of the way he was treated...
