Boundary umpire is the dill. 

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

A very lacklustre half of footy from us.

The boundary umpire was right there. Viney was a metre out.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

Arm wrestle with 16th place. Words you love to hear. 

Can we PLEASE take control of this after half time and bury these [censored]? They inflicted so much pain on us over the years. It’s not yet time, not even close, that they can return to that. 

They’re 16th, missing their best mid. No excuses.

Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

Absolutely disgraceful display. Unaccountable green [censored]. 

[Chook 15,013]

Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

So glad we have 90 umpires now. They’re all doing such a stellar job 🙄

[Roost it far 8,278]

This will go down to the wire and we’ll lose……tell me you can’t feel it

2nd 

🤮Salem free in space kicks straight to Sicily 

Oliver poor 

Melksham 4 behinds 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Trac beaten one on one by 1st gamer Hustwaite 🤯  Trac relaxed handball to May tackled straight away 

🤮ANB 25 metres out    Didn’t make distance 

Langdon to Chin ✅

Melksham soccer goal ✅

Melksham goal ✅

Lever ✅✅

Kozzie and Chandler need to get busy in the forward line. Just be front and centre at the fall of the ball.

Absolutely and I won’t mention that boundary umpire. Every time we get tackled, it’s holding the ball and we can’t get one as usual.

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Umpires should get their OPSM sponsorship back

Kozzie unsighted again.

Unfortunately it’s all too common now in big games. 

[rufus 1,162]

60 minutes to show some top 8 level competence otherwise top 4 is slipping away from us. Underwhelming but not unsurprising. 

[layzie 33,814]

Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Trac and Oliver need to explode in the second half. Largely unsighted so far

Arm wrestle with a team who beat the premiership favourites two weeks ago.

I'm complaining about both things 😪

[dees189227 12,394]

Anyone heard bevos presser yet? Has he blown a gasket?

[bobby1554 1,244]

Hawthorn much cleaner, Petracca, Pickett and Oliver really need to lift. Would be worth getting Schache on as our forward line is too small

Why.. we have no tall forwards to bring the ball to ground

Other than the opportune goal out the back I'm not sure I've seen Smith

We need the small forwards to lead to space

It’s par for the course, Jaded. None of us have the vaguest idea what they’ll do at any time. It’s a complete mess. 
Meanwhile, we’re playing very poorly.

They have completely lost the plot!

He is breaking Jack Dyers rule no.1 don't get where the ball ain't. Ever since he was suspended he has been poor in 90% of games. 

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Is Kossie playing? Is he the sub????
