What do we need to do in order to get a fair run from the umps? The Cripps holding call, the Curnow decision, I don't even know what they called after he tackled a bloke and he threw it out, the Walsh 'sling' which was one single motion. I feel like the club  needs to say something it's beyond a joke.

Yep, he sure did. But cameos won't cut the mustard if we're to be a top side.

I noticed when they were singing the song after the  game that Eddie didn't link arms with the players either side of  him. Plowman on one side made a couple of attempts to engage him but Eddie just gave him a tap and a nod.

Maybe he's protective of his personal space ...or did he hurt himself (shoulder perhaps) in one of the contests (maybe the high flying landing). He was a bit sore after taking a mark at one stage and came off for a while but that looked more a hip or groin.

Just on Eddie
We're all expecting him to finish up at the end of the year.
Maybe he's not influential in every game.
But it looks like he still has a good spring, and his pace hasn't dropped off a great deal.
And you could probably argue that without Eddie, yesterday's second quarter burst doesn't happen.

Not a word from the commentators either.

I thought there were a few shockers, the umpires didn't have a good day, especially early it looked like they were penalising players just for thinking about an infringement. The Cripps 30m run was pretty bad.

But I thought the worst decision all weekend was in the VFL, one of our blokes got throat fended Dusty style and had a free kick paid against them for high contact!

The same thing happened to Sam Walsh; a high fend-off resulted in a free to the offender.  Sam's attempted tackle may have slipped upwards but only because the Adelaide player's hand was forcing Sam's head backwards 

Seedsman and Sholl aren't exactly kids and the Adelaide midfield did OK when they beat St Kilda in their last game.

But, you're right, it was a gutsy win against another struggling, inconsistent team and we're a long way from having everything fixed.  I'll be a lot happier if we can get a win over the Dockers next week ... COVID permitting.

Come on, thats not fair - DWAAAAAyne definitely commented on a couple of the shockers "maybe a little in the back" every time we were mauled. and "oh grabbed without it" every time there was a slight free adelaide's way.....
