you can't blame the umps when we gave away a 3 goal lead with 3 mins to go.

Where was the flood with 25seconds to go?

Where were our tall guys when moore kicked it to the top of the square?

What cost us was a lack of leadership in the last 90 seconds.

Fact is we let that game go because panic set in and we ran out of toilet paper.
and the coach must be responsible for this.....if he can't teach his players this then they are not playing for him......time to go........poooo.....I forgot he has another 2 years......you idiots..... :banghead :banghead

How stuffing annoying was the "East to West" stuff they kept saying. Towards the last quarter I felt like I had to decide between West Gate Bridge or Eastlink

Umpiring was bad both ways at times
We lost the game & we are to blame no-one else.
All our players fly for the mark instead of going the huge punch.

Yep saw just as many puzzling ones go our way. They did not cost us the game, was deliberate

If we'd kicked straight, the umpiring wouldn't have even come into it....

exactly right we missed some very straight forward goals. We also gave away 80- metres approx of backward football & gifted them a goal. Anyone who ever played backwards football in my team was outed & never played again  ;D.

Sliding rule is a tough one to apply

Paddy McCartin unfortunately broke his collarbone sliding into Richmond's Nick Vlastuin who kept his feet as he approached the loose ball. McCartin received the free kick but Vlastuin was entitled to feel aggrieved at the decision. He had done the right thing by keeping his feet as the 94kg McCartin slid into him, but received a free kick against. Although tough to apply in the moment, it's a good rule that umpires need to be fierce on next season as Vlastuin was lucky not to be hurt.

Difficult? That was as clear cut a decision as I've ever seen. A howler of a decision.

Yep it should have been a free to Vlastuin

I dont agree with the sliding in rule but it's now there and as such it should be applied, there is no grey here.

Disgraceful decision
