We've just experienced a 4 goal swing courtesy of seriously bad umpiring, you'd expect none of them will feature in the finals!
I think i'm in the same parallel universe as you.
Not sure what game these 'sack teague' blokes are watching, but it can't be the same one as me.

The lack of consistency in the umpiring is mind-numbing. Williamson ping for deliberate, then Kennedy tackle a bloke who throws its over the boundary and they don't even blink an eye. McGovern, front on contact 100%, pings down the other end and an unbelievably soft down the field goal. The Saad tackle. Seriously a joke, the club needs to be asking questions.

Take the blue glasses off mate. Yes there was a few questionable one but as lethal used to say you can’t control them but the fact they controlled the second half of that quarter was not because of a few 50/50 frees that went against us.
If you look hard enough for excuses you will also find em.

7 unanswered goals, once the serious pressure was applied. Again.
You don't want to be critical of a bloke in his 300th, but, sheesh, his 2nd qtr fadeout... just when leadership is needed from experienced heads - ditto Levi.
This is where a coaching move is needed - get more intensity around the ball. Nothing to lose, put Stocker in the midfield.

I know the old saying of quit while you're ahead, but why do we have to take it so literally.

It’s the same old same old cookie. When they got on top we were second to every contest and were completely outnumbered when the ball was in dispute. We let them thru the corridor too. Surely by now the coaching group had some answer to when these runs of goals occur but nope.

Or we could just keep finding excuses. Year after year after year.

You are right, you can't control them......but they can control the game.
The game is taken out of Teagues hands.
11-5 at half time.
Commentators have said at least 3 frees they got shots on goal from were not there.
Thats the margin.
And at the other end, we didn't get some they would've got.
Then we're in front again and with momentum.
Its not rocket science.
I expect to lose this game by 10 goals.....and thats with fair umpiring, so i'm not surprised at the result thus far. I think its fair reflection of the strengths (or lack of) of the 2 sides. The umpires are going to turn it into a 15 goal game!
