Just in case you thought that 50m penalty against Harry & Crippa made no sense, get a load of this for an explanation :

It's the vibe !!!!  
She talks about common sense, how about the umpire use some and think to himself: Hang on minute, Cripps is standing the mark but it should be Harry "Hey Harry, come back and stand on the mark please, Patrick clear off please". The umpire in that instance has to have the awareness that unintentionally, the wrong player is standing the mark and if he is so adamant to correct it, then farken correct it. Dont penalise the guy after he looks, sees his team mate standing then leaves to get out of the zone. Alternatively, let it slide and play on. Imbeciles (umpire, Football Boss and interviewer, not a brain between them).

Laura Kane might be very good at her job but she has no idea when it comes to explaining umpiring decisions.  She should delegate that part of her role to someone who understands footy.

As for the 50m penalty, Crippa was the closest player to where the mark was taken and Harry was a couple of metres away.  The umpire should have told Crippa to stand and Harry to move away.

Then there's the Henry mark.  Forgetting about the blatant push in the back that took Young out of the contest, the goal umpire's call was a behind.  The review footage provided a good view of the goal post but absolutely no vision of the ball and Henry.  The outcome had to be "umpire's call".

Our defence issues are directly related to our inefficient forward line.
Agreed, it's not the entire problem but it's a large contributing factor.

If you are going to frequently turn it over in F50 and keep missing gettable shots eventually the defence breaks down at the other end of the ground, simply because they are continually under pressure while the opposition are gaining confidence.

Wasted opportunities build pressure and destroy confidence all over the ground.

Hurt the Handbaggers on the scoreboard, and they are the ones feeling the heat going the other way.

Our defence issues are directly related to our inefficient forward line.  We should have outscored Geelong on Saturday but gave up five goals to their rebounds from defence.

More goals per forward 50 entries and more defensive pressure inside our forward 50 and our defence will be fine.

Yes, we’re missing Saady and Gov but Fog’s absence is probably more significant.

I'd say the defensive issues are mostly personnel related. We were 4th in points against last season. With 16 injuries including Fogarty, Docherty, Saad, McGovern, Martin, Cerra etc. we are struggling. Those are big outs. The "next man up" mantra only takes you so far, eventually you reach a tipping point where the b graders and top ups cannot do the job required over 4 quarters, week in week out. I was expecting those injuries to have a greater impact than they have, although the dam wall may burst later if we don't get those guys back

I don’t see that at all.  Young’s contested possessions and spoils are comparable with  Weitering’s and Kemp’s and his teammates don’t hesitate to give him the ball if he’s the best option.

He was the victim of some good blocks by the Geelong forwards, some poor umpiring decisions and poor play by his teammates up the field, but his game was more than adequate.

We differ in opinion👍
