Straight Sets Simon

But through excessive and unnecessary handballing we more often than not turn the ball over deep in our defence.

Settle down, Curry & Beer.

Absolute tragedy, condolences to Brett and his family.

Exactly, and it started with applying pressure which is something we didn't do in the other quarters. The thing about pressure is it requires no skill or talent, only effort. The ability of Melbourne players to pick and choose when they make an effort is second to none.

What frustrates me the most is we have good wins, yet we don't seem to learn from those wins and build on them. Every week it's back to square one.

I was angry at Melbourne at the start, the third quarter was great but the umpires killed off any chance we had to at least make it close and Melbourne just dropped their heads after that.

Updated version. Out: Bail, Lumumba, M. Jones, Jetta (injured) In: Salem, Tyson, Newton, Riley

Here come the decisions to even up the free kick tally.

Then Stringer gets the same free kick up the other end.

Dawes gets pushed in the back, clear as day no free kick.

He's been good, I went early.

Umpires somehow ruined a game where we were over 10 goals down by at half time. Easton Wood just threw the ball.

Lumumba stiff, again.

That free kick against Lumumba was laughable.

When Grimes was grabbed around the neck he did not want to give the free kick.

The umpire reluctantly gave Grimes a free kick after almost being decapitated then.

Too cute, Jesse.

Same with about a dozen other decisions.

Disgraceful umpiring.

Everything Matt Jones touches turns to crud.

Vince had to kick the goal.

I really hope this thread bites me on the bum.

Why no free kick to Garlett?

The key is to kick the next three, we cannot let them respond quickly.

And he's been good this second half.
