Throw. No call.

Dragged it in. Holding the ball.

Has Fritsch been sighted?

You just know Dixen is getting a free kick if he's held like Gawn was just then.

No he's just a natural.

Well done Rising Star!

We're back to 2019 levels of average.

Umps need to put whistle away.

should have been a free to Viney anyway for in the back.

Umps have started

Still a third of the season to go. Finals are stitched up. Top 4 would be a plus. But we don't want to be more than 1-2 games off forth and certainly don't want to lose too much percentage. 5th and 6th not the end of the world but an away game would be guaranteed against Port or Brisbane towards GF. Still think Melbourne Bulldogs and Brisbane are a league above the rest, even Geelong. Sydney is a smokey as are Port.The top 6 in Bulldogs Melbourne Brisbane Geelong Port and Sydney, the flag is between them. Eagles and GWS not a chance.

I can handle losing to GWS and even Adelaide in Adelaide. But losing to Collingwood... I think that says a lot. Our form since the Brisbane game has been very average. Collingwood is stupendously average.

I think this is an overreaction. We defended well despite GWS destorying us on the outside. Our problem is scoring. Pure and simple. We are a super defensive team. Tighten up a bit and we win today. Goodwin has gone from a super offensive coach in 2018 to a defensive one. This is Roos-esque football we are playing. Giants played better and deserved the win. But we were well below our best and still could have won. Ultimately beaten at our own game. Not the end of the world.

Defended superbly as well.

What was the crowd?

Should never, ever lose games like this. We're not ready

Petty has been very good today.

[censored]

GWS defense has been immense all game. Have to give it to them.

Well we outscored them that quarter at least.

They have been very good today.

Classic Salem.

Yeahhh we not winning this lol

Statistically we're not doing too badly. How we *look* is a different story. TMacs checkside kick from 50 out preceded three GWS goals. Our pressure is very poor. But we are defending okay. Not out of reach. Unlikely, but not impossible. Let's back them in. Our Brisbane game looked ominous at half time.

Have we been 25 points down at any point this year?
