[4_Kent_Watts 898]

Picket Bedford and Spargo are non existent 

[Demonland 74,454]

Can we buy a holding the ball?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Geelong get far more prior opportunity.

[rolling fog 1,208]

Suck on that Selwood. Using their advantage (narrow wings) against them 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,795]

HtfB Hawkins

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

That was HTB against Hawkins

[Demon Dynasty 17,168]

HTB all the way Hawkins!!!!!??????????

[Brownie 6,086]

Hawkins holding the ball wtf!

[Jaded No More 68,976]

They’re playing better footy 

[gs77 4,616]

Umpires need a crowd baying for blood to pay a HTB apparently. 

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

8 metre kick paid a mark. To them of course.

[layzie 34,528]

At least we're not 40 down this time.

That's being generous! I thought it was about 40cm. What a joke.

They are playing a better style, we have the better team just not making it work.

We are so unclean by hand and foot. 

As we've seen many times opposition looks better but don't get away. Will turn I reckon we've done it often 

[Devil In Disguise 2,284]

We are making them look good by turning the ball over so much. 

[Thehardtackler 785]

The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

[Lord Travis 10,819]

They’re playing better footy. Positive is we’re still very close due to their inaccuracy. Need to be tighter with ground balls and tidy up the kick before the entry into 50. Can’t bang it long due to their spare behind the ball.

[Demon Disciple 12,537]

Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

[Nascent 9,345]

Well, we're not playing well and certainly have a lot of improvement left in us for the second half. In that context we're doing well to be within 4 points.

[The heart beats true 18,201]

I don’t understand the holding the ball rule. Hawkins took on 2 players and got caught red handed.

Its the one rule the AFL need to fix as there’s far too much interpretation based on context and player involved. 

[Hampton 22 519]

Outplayed, insufficient first options, turnovers. Remarkable that we’re so close on the scoreboard.
