Goal Review System - Cost us dearly.

Yeah, we made a lot of mistakes and so did they but we were out and away when Lever took that mark.

Surely that review takes place while the game goes on and if it's not a mark then they bring it back...

Why are our ratings always so negative  ?? We were playing a top side tonight and with reasonable kicking at goal we would have won !!!!

Yes that hurt and someone has said it was the field umpire who called for the review, not the goalie! Is that true, if so it’s criminal. I will have to watch the replay tomorrow when I have calmed down. So many squandered opportunities with missed set shots and then a number of [censored] umpiring decisions, I need to review again to understand.

Pretty sure it was the goal umpire 'Earl'...either way it shouldn't have happened.

Even when you review you won't understand some of the umpiring decisions...I had a look multiple times at the first Pickett unfair tackle and it was a bump straight in the guts.

15 metre kicks were so inconsistent that even the commentators were joking about it.

You guess is as good as mine on any holding the ball decision, I reckon they toss a coin on that one.

Hocking has stuffed the game...umpires have lost all confidence.

Quite a few decisions against us tonight that were seemingly not unanimous, overruled or just not picked up at all, but we were playing against a Team that has to be given every chance to feature in a packed sell out come GF Time.....

I thought Lockhart was really good tonight, don't nderstand the hate

Agree I like the way Lockhart is going about it. Yes he makes mistakes but he takes the game on and the the way he moves sets up attacking counter attacks. The best thing is he seems to be getting better with every game and I hope he retains his willingness to attack.

Lockhart definitely better than suggested and I thought Langdon was good, despite being one who missed a gettable set shot.

Very harsh on Lockhart. He was actually pretty good tonight. Secured his spot for next week.

Have to agree. Also I was at game and he made some good positions when we had ball and our guys would not kick to him. Strange.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
