[1] The Umpires were terrible. The things they missed and ignored when watching less than 15 m from the ball. They have no idea how long 15 m actually is. They simply weren't watching what happened or waiting for the other guy to make a decision. Most unprofessional performance I can remember, and I have a long memory.
the 15m thing was a joke, esp early. aints were hitting 4m kicks out of d50....

And I missed mentioning Cincotta, who I thought did a great job.
Acres was a warrior again. def not close to fit, but busts a gut at every contest

Why wasn't Moir in the selected side?
Why was Caroll the one subbed out instead of Motlop or Durdin?
Was Durdin fully fit?
Motlop looks to be a very lazy player to me, I see injured player give more effort.

was thinking that, even with all these injuries, dow and stocker still may have struggled to get a game with us
That free to Dow was a shocker. It was holding the ball or, at worst, a ball up.
And what was Lyon thinking when he asked Stocker to play on Cripps?

Ii seemed to me that Young's first thought after winning possession was to look to handpass to a teammate running past. Was that under instruction?
He does wave the ball in a circular motion before kicking. I don't know whether that affects his disposal but it adds a little time to his kicking action.
Apart from that, I thought that he was OK and our defence more balanced than it has been. We did miss McGovern/Kemp intercepting and helping out in marking contests.

On the umpiring, I though the bigger problem were the frees not being paid as opposed to some they paid.
In particular, our blokes gang tackled opponents who were permitted to either hang on to the footy much longer than anytime in the last couple of months, or stone cold drop it unpenalized. Now I don't mind them putting the whistle away, but will Charlie again get that option if he returns?
Phillipou and I think Higgins both made blatant front on contact with our defenders that resulted in goals, Phillipou was a straight out no eyes for the footy front on push into the guts of a marking player and he wasn't penalised, I think it was Acres trying to mark. The umpire in both cases was standing between the camera and the players watching, it was unmissable! Saad brushed somebodies forearm from front on and got penalised!
The only other bad one was "the guess" by the umpire that penalised Cripps for a throw, Cripps clearly handballed and the umpire was behind player bodies and completely unsighted.

I think part of the problem with his disposal is lack of time.
I think the majority of the time, his 'lack of time' comes about because he fumbles so much.
If he was cleaner with the ball and 1-grabbed it, he (and we) would be much better.
Its something i think as a club we have improved this year. Being clean with picking up the ball and not fumbling it. So when it does happen (and it always seems to happen to Young) it stands out a lot.
Not sure if he'll get a chance this year to fix that now.
