Undeeterred

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.

In what way?

They're killing us on the break. We are getting caught out of position assuming our players will do simple things like take marks they are supposed to.

The umpires are rubbish but, gee, they shouldn't even be a consideration we should be miles in front of these clowns.

Yet here you are with multiple posts on the thread!

As I said a few weeks ago, who really cares? Even if we make it, we'll play a final against someone like Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood or North, any of whom will belt us into next year. Edit: Or GWS or Adelaide!

This. What everybody who says we lost the match with our 50 entries fails to see is that we would have won anyway, despite our 50 entries, if the umpires officiated the game remotely fairly. If we got a fair playing field, and used our entries properly, we would have won by about 15 goals.

He also wraps his stupid lanky arms around people's necks in marking contests, and gets paid frees when they react.

I came on here today literally to post this. Irrational, but I just want to punch his stupid bobble headed free kick gifted face.
