He was consistently scragged for the entire game by 2-3 opponents / don’t think we can blame him. Many others did a whole bucket of f*ck all.

Angry ..... you betcha !!

Was not confident of the result pre-game and it played out that way.

Haven't watched the replay as I had to work but don't think I will now.

Selection decisions have been as dumb as dog-poo the last month so we only have ourselves to blame.

What type of selection decisions does one require when half the list (19 players) are on the injury list.

2 years out of 3, last minute.

We left boys to do a job the men should have done much earlier.
Good analogy.

So much for us learning to not get beaten at the death ? has happened a few times this year ? again.

FFS, can the AFL and the umpires lock themselves in a room and watch that game and analyse the 'holding the ball' rule.
There is more than enough incorrect decisions to go over and sort out their $h!t. We'd be in double figures of OBVIOUSLY wrong decisions.

1-7 in the first quarter
8-0 in the last quarter (i think)

....but the umpires don't even up the free kicks.

Poor umpiring took away from the spectacle of the game.
(Didn't effect the result, just the spectacle)

It was a might effort. 10 of our best side were out.

Please watch it - I watched it live and can’t stomach another viewing. But would like to know if the free kick count of 12-1 deep in the second quarter was fair or not. And calls against Cripps for another goal to them, was there. And the HTB was there against us but not them. And the HTM was there too.

Fans are focussed on the last quarter missed opportunities, it's the wrong focus and it papers over all the wasted footy early in the game, we should have been level or even ahead at 1/2-time, but we burnt F50 entries time and time again and often uncontested / unforced errors.

A complete lack of composure when we have the footy, and it's not the forwards that are to blame.

We have plenty of run, plenty of fitness, we finish strongly, as strong as any other team, we need some calm reliable ball users who are functional on both sides of the body.

I missed that as i was driving home from a birthday at the time, but heard it on the radio.

What happened to the umpire, did they go off?
I noticed a female ump, i'm assuming it wasn't her who got hit.

Why do they put numbers on the umpires backs. It makes the crowd notice an umpire that’s perceived to be against us and I think dangerous to them! Yes I’m talking number 32 lol but seriously people around me were absolutely baying for blood. I think they shouldn’t be so identifiable.
