That goal to Ellis was a disgrace of umpiring. It wasn't a push in the back (Ellis diving), it wasn't a high tackle on Rankine either.

Still, main issues are ours, not umpiring. Still too many inside 50s which don't go to our advantage and too much time spent in forward half without scoring.

We are supremely frustrating to watch, yet we're in front.  I have no idea how that works or why it has happened.

We will need to kick at least 3-4 goals to win this with the way GC are kicking them from everywhere.

I’m obviously missing something. How is is that Melksham gets a game?

I don't think I have watched more goals pulled from a rear end than I have tonight.

Umps super soft there.

Agree. Suns have 4 goals from no look snaps 

umps gifting it

plus Trac is playing dumb. Never goes back and settles to get the right kick. FFS WILL THE COACH TELL HIM. 

Melksham is taking the [censored] with his lack of forward pressure. 
Our ball use is just so bad. It’s really hard to watch.

I'm calling it now - some sort of ridiculous mistake, umpiring decision etc. will decide this game for one side.

Umpires having too big an influence now. Well bloodywell give it our way.

Him and Goody are best mates remember. 

AVB getting better each game and during this game again !!

Most of the bad decisions have been non-decisions which there is no stat for. 

I more mean that they will pull one out in the last minute which will result in the winning score and either have us really angry or just a little bit angry.

the minute weideman stops running under the footy will be the minute he starts taking more marks.

A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

Melksham's head taken off. 

Head taken off, then legged in the same contest - nothing.

Meanwhile Langdon tackles Rankine cleanly and the umpire calls high contacts.

Great game but. I thought we've been quite good.

Yep its like dying slowly

Tracca needs to smarten up and cut the Hollywood football. Do the basics right son

I thought the push in the back was there, but high contact against Rankine was rubbish.

Koz pickett no where near ready

Even with the dodgy umpiring we should win

In: Jones

Out: Melksham

Maybe, but it seems like a very light touch launches him forward like Lockett smashed him in the back

They'll make sure we don't

Kozzy applies good pressure - he'll come on soon 

Honest to God, our ability to self-destruct attacking opportunities is like nothing I’ve ever EVER seen, often hilarious and sometimes spectacular. If it weren’t so hair-pullingly frustrating, it would be hilarious. Neutral supporters must have a whale of a time watching us [censored] it up so reliably. 

It's an even money game and to be honest it was always going to be. Massive last quarter. Keep on top in contested ball

Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.
