Undeeterred

I did notice this - touch wood, we have players like AVB etc returning, and have a pretty skinny injury list, whilst WCE, Collingwood, Sydney, Essendon and GWS in particular seem to be losing players at a rate of knots.

Good solid win in the end. 24.13 would have been nicer!

With respect, mate, that is a very, very long bow.

No, but you can fault his lack of impact.

I was just about to write - I've done a hell of a lot of whinging for what's going to turn out to be a 10-12 goal win!

Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

They always seem to be at really inopportune times as well, and come as part of an oppo run on.

Jeez umpires hate Jordan Lewis. Having said that, he gives away more goals from pure stupidity than just about anyone in the league I reckon.

TMac following the ruckman into defence - don't think he's there full time.

Maybe to check whether he is ineffective all over the ground, or just in defence. Turns out it is everywhere.

Fritsch should get the 3 brownlow votes tonight for sure. Single handed at the moment.

Our players are completely stuffed.

YES!

Have to admit to only watching about 10 minutes of this junk, but my two observations are: 1. 5.15 always, always comes back to bite you in the bum. 44-13 inside 50s - not like they are going to have 26 for the gam. They will have 45-50 and kill us. 2. We desperately needed the score board to reflect our dominance and be far enough ahead that we could run around like millionaires in the second half. We didn't need a fight to the death battle in 71% humidity.

Maybe they are hoping he will get eaten by a stray crocodile.

In my old-man midweek sporting competitions, I can tell when I'm just cruising through a game, or when I've made a conscious choice to run hard and play properly. Surely these blokes can do that by now - it's astonishing.

That goal was absolutely not his fault.

He was driven into the frigg ing ground as he took it, 20 metres out. I've run out of different words to describe this disgraceful umpiring

Our transition defence is disgusting.

Come on at least give him credit when he does something we've been asking him to do.

That just gives the players a free kick for being flat out lazy.

Howls? I've been saying this for 5 years.

Yeah he gave away a 50.

Explain how it's his fault our midfield are getting flogged.
