Commentators keep pumping up Rileys tyres.
First game, good to give him a wrap.

But only had 6 touches, 14 hitouts, 2 clearances.

Meek his direct opponent has had 16 touches, 49 hitouts and 10 clearances.

Apart from Rileys lucky goal....he's been very well beaten.


....which is fine, its his first game and in terrible conditions....but are the commentators watching the game?

Hopefully it's the "due for a loss" thing. It hasn't been good. Unlike after the flat Essendon game where we picked up, tonight we carried on where we left off last week.

Ison's miss. would have put us within 14pts. Dropped our head and let them kick the next 3.

There is 'due for a loss' and then there is getting 'beaten by 10 goals in the wet loss'

If our performances are NOT about the opposition we are playing against, which is what people keep telling me, then what is it?

Has Fraser forgotten how to coach already?

Just reshowed the 50m penalty we spoke about earlier.
Isolating the audio and showing the vision.

100% said play on.
100% put his arms up the air to signal it.
As soon as he did he tried to 'take it back' and said 'wait' i believe.
Then blew the whistle and gave a 50m against us for going over the mark.

There is simply no way for the AFL to defend that. Its as clear of a f*** up as you will ever see.

Together with the one i mentioned earlier from the PA game IIRC where the umpire paid a mark to a bloke 5m off the contest who had the ball punched to him for a 'mark', they are the 2 worst decisions i've ever seen in my time watching football. Both against us.

But the AFL will tell you that the umpiring is the best its ever been???

Tip rat gets his 3rd goal. Someone take one for the team and take him out.

Hewett looks done for the day.....and possibly longer.

Not sure if the weather will stay like this all game, but it may work out in our favour. Low scoring game will come down to luck as much as anything i think.

Umpire calls play on, by doing the arms up motion, we play on, and get a 50m penalty against us.

That is almost as bad as the umpire paying a mark to the bloke who took the ball 5m away from the contest after it was punched to him.

I'd like to see how the AFL justify that one. Cost us a goal in weather that goals are incredibly hard to come by.
