[1] I am not the most neutral of observers, but the Umpiring is really getting on my nerves. The number of times we did NOT get frees for tackles too high, when Collingwood got them for being tackled breast high, I lost count of. LoveNavy noted two of the worst ones in the last few minutes. Also, the Collingwood rucks basically pushed ours in the back, sometimes entirely out of the contest, regularly. Alison Downie would have two hand shaped marks on her back when she has her ice bath tonight. It was just ridiculous and must be getting close to requiring an official complaint. Personally, I didn’t like the way the umps signalled ‘play on’ every time Bree Davey tried to break through a pack, but that is a rod they made for their own backs. To say that our tackles are not rewarded, I’m not going to bring that up again.
[2] I was really disappointed in the way we played in the second and third quarters. Terrible. Our whole structure fell apart.
[3] I am really happy to see the way we fought back in the last quarter.
[4] Darcy Vescio had her best game for a long time. But her set shot kicking, once a strength, has let her down terribly. But the way she lifted and got into the game this week was what I have been hoping for all season.
