They got given a 4 goal head start with some generous umpiring.
1 of them was charity to Tom Lynch thanks to Jack Riewoldt flying on Liam Jones to keep him out of the contest without making a realistic attempt to mark. He got penalised for that a couple of times later, but the damage was done.
Another was a phantom free kick, and 50 metre penalty for no good reason which put them in scoring range.
Had they umpired that evenly all night, there would have been 6 50 metre penalties that they should have paid.
Instead they put the whistle away. There were a few bewildering decisions that you just couldnt work out, particularly surrounding incorrect disposal.
Largely, we were our own worst enemy and the fumbles cost us more than anything else did.
