Some incredible non-decisions going on that should not even be a debae, just flat out wrong. Not even the AFL could attempt to justify some of them.
There was 3 in the space of 30 seconds (all favoured Freo) and the players are just left shaking their heads in disbelief.
I think the one free for holding the ball that i can remember (favoured us) was probably not even worth a free kick.
Pathetic umpiring aside, Freo are playing much better than us.
With all the players we lost in the off-season, and the players that are injured, we are playing players who are simply not up to scratch yet. Too many dropped marks, fumbles, mis-kicks and mis-handballs! Basic skill errors that should not be seen at AFLW level.
In AFL terms, our midfield has been devistated so badly, that we are so far down our depth chart, that its equivalent to Paddy Dow being our #1 midfielder.
All this talk about 'folding under pressure' is simply because our players have not been able to develop, rather thrust into the side before they are ready.
