GAME DAY - Round 5

[H_T 3,038]

Two massive errors by the umpire(s) in last, Ablett given free because McKenzie had two fingers graze his chest. Goal.

Jetta gets his head ripped off during a defensive effort, play on.

These are the inconsistent decisions that make me puke.

Geez, did someone forget to put in the order for a few cans of belt grip? The marks stuck to the suns all day, with most of our boys bent over cleaning up mistakes! Even their blind snaps outta the centre clearences seemed to find someone.

the score flattered us, the gc were far better than we were, while we almost pinched the win because of their woeful kicking we certainly did not deserve it. Too many passengers, too few tackles and poor disposal. The team has very little understanding of the concept of moving the ball on quickly, like the last goal we got. players stop and ignore possible leads and then end up kicking into traffic, was a poor effort. While I like Jack Watts time for him to go back to Casey to learn how to play AFL football, he is lazy around the ball and rarely has a second effort, he goes in for a contest and then meekly accepts it if he looses. Has no heart for the contest, just wants easy kicks. Jetta while he improved showed very little.

Mckenzie the tackling machine 2 tackles with his 10 disposals(9 hand balls).

Jetta, Watts, Mckenzie, Bail, Terlich... Time to cut the emotional attachment and delist these players, their disposal puts pressure on their team mates time ago and Watts doesn't try- jogs around with no effort.

While I'm [censored] about the umpiring that did cost us the game, inaccurate kicking from Dawes' set shots is also to blame.

But yeah, [censored] the umpiring. Was absolute [censored] when Ablett got that free kick and whatever dumbass umpire made that call needs to be dropped from the league. What an embarassment.

We can't really say accuracy killed us when the opponent kicked 11.19.

We did miss a lot of crunch goals, right when we needed them (Frawley's miss at the start of the fourth hurt too, as did Howe's shocker in the third).

I've been a Watts apologist - no more. Softest game I've seen from anyone at that level.

Should be 1 point down. Robbed.

are we forgetting the goal we got in the 1st Qtr?. It was touched clearly but the 3rd ump gave it anyway. Poor umpiring comes around and goes around. Their poor kicking kept us in it. Has to be said.

That is definitely true, but I (and others, it seems) feel as though there were far too many 50-50 decisions which went their way (the Ablett free was appalling, the Watts incorrect disposal, the passage of play in the third in which about 4 free kicks went begging before one small high contact went to them, even Jones at the opening bounce getting cleaned up in the head), and at momentum-killing times too.
