I said orazio provides valuable leadersgip and few listened.
How much more space would we find with some better instruction. On field leaders are important.

Ollie Hollands has needed a spell since round two.
Need to find touch and confidence - is a complete liability right now

Explain to me how the whole Southern Stand saw Williams get coat hangered but not one of the 4 umpires saw it? That turned the game back in their favour.

We wasted opportunities, but when you get non-decisions with such a bias in the impact of umpiring decisions, it's hard to win, it's like you are battling two opponents all the time.
Dangerflog basically throws himself at opponents legs unpenalised, diving head first hitting blokes below the knees and claiming high contact. Sure he didn't get a free, but he must have tripped or grab the legs of our blokes at least 5 or 6 times, and he basically did his best to use his body to take out our midfield's legs. He ended Judd's career by tunnelling, and he's happy to take others out, opponents needs to start putting some knees in the way of his head!
The umpiring screwed us over on advantage multiple times, sure we wasted footy, but I've not seen a half of footy like the first where the game was so closely contested yet the umpiring was so influential in the outcome.
We were dominant in the midfield, then the Handbaggers were basically permitted to tackle blokes before the ball arrived. Cripps got 3 frees, he should have had 10 or more, it was bullcrap! Then after missing 2 or 3 crucial frees, they give up a nothing evener on the HBF.
While Henry gets 2 of his 3 goals through blatant non-decision push outs by himself and a team-mate.
How do Stanley and Blicavs get to wrap arms around Pitto and TDK, yet be rewarded frees kicks for our blokes holding?
There should be a bunch of blokes apologising to Cripps tonight, he led them into battle and they folded like crepe paper.

Insult to injury. Liverpool's last fortnight to go with our losses to adelaide and geelong.
Ive never felt so flat.

Not up to the challenge on elite level yet.

Collingwood, Melbourne and Sydney. Tough run. Our best game beats the best sides doesn’t eventuate on the scoreboard if you can’t deliver a four quarter effort. I won’t be completely devastated if we drop another 2 or 3 games in our next 5 outings. It builds character and hunger. Not happy that we lost. Never expected to beat the current flag favourites. They are the benchmark. We don’t have the list they have. We don’t have the polish just yet to make the most of our forward 50 entries. Give it time.
