Plowman should be dropped for agreeing with that umpire. We had two up the other end where they picked the ball up and tried to fend off.

Cripps is still not right, I suppose that will be his story for 2020.

That was a fairly good 4 quarter game. The boys stuck with it and you seriously cannot say they didn't give 100%. Pressure at the player was the best I've seen for a long time. The loss of Martin hurt bad. It always seems to be a influential player for us. One less rotation started to show towards the end but I was actually proud of how they didn't give in.
WILL NOT talk about the umpiring, but for one incident. 3rd quarter, Fisher had just kicked his 4th. The ball is popped to just 20 metres out from our goals. Cripps somehow dropped a lollipop. My God what goes on there? Anyway, King Nat takes procession tries to break free because, you know, he's a superstar and that's what superstars do. He gets collared. Does not get rid of it and in fact drops the ball which for anyone who knows football is called "incorrect disposal". What happens? Ball up. All hail King Nat (thankyou pinhead #22, again). So instead of getting a 20 metre kick from directly in front to extend our lead to, I think, 4 goals it goes down the other end for the start of the 5 goal match winning run.
That right there is what I keep trying to explain to the wife is called a momentum killer. Thankyou pinhead #22.
Also, can someone tell me, is Shuey a repeat offender on the trip. I seem to recall him doing this before?

Who the feck is that umpire, and how the feck does he get away with that rubbish?

That rubbish would not even cut it at VFL Reserves level!

Listening to our guys, Plowman in particular, sounds like we were worded up not to argue, probably makes them worse!

re: Murphy....I'd be more concerned about SPS...

I would have loved a win, but given our long injury list and losing Martin early on, I'm happy with the way everyone put in.

I think any chance we had of winning was lost in the third quarter when WC got a run on and kicked 4 or 5 goals in about ten minutes and Teague just left Pittonet in the ruck.  NicNat had killed him in the first quarter and did the same in the third.  Had TDK been thrown into the middle after their second goal we may have stopped their run.

Very impressed with TDK and Cottrell.

I was pretty proud to be honest. 

We were missing MCG, Harry, Martin from the first quarter. 

Thought the new boys did really well.  Love watching Cottrell run, lightning. And he seems to have a little Robbo about him, not taking a backward step. TDK wasn’t overawed at all, and is exciting to think of his future.

Thought that team played Pretty well, ran out of gas in the third when their big bodies smashing into us made us lose steam.

Don’t really get the hate for Murph, some of his handballs were bullets.  He can’t tackle though can he. Hm.

Thought Samo was great? He threw himself where was needed, sure he made a few errors but those HTB were bullcrap.

Cripps seems to be struggling - a few costly errors.

Nice to see Fish back.  And Kennedy was strong and brave.

I’m entirely sick of people saying the umpiring doesn’t matter.  It really does.  They continuously dropped the balls when he tackled, and it was play on.  The HTB was the most disgraceful decision. What was the 50 for? As said, NicNat was caught in front of our goals exactly the same, play on.   GTFO.  My logical mind says there can be no bias, umpires don’t care who wins. But this happens time and time again.
