We lost the game when Pitto was out: Meek dominated, giving them first use of the ball. Our mids didn't run out of the front once.

The Umpiring: I don't want to go there. There are limits to what was acceptable, and those clowns we had to tonight were far too far past them. Those decisions were unforgivable. And they gifted Hawthorn goals they didn't deserve.

We probably won't complain, but we really should.

Their skills held up under the poor conditions, while ours didn't. After that we lost confidence and they had their tails up.

Our forwards: Mitch McGovern was the only one who can put his hand up. Kemp was dreadful. H didn't do a lot.
One ruck works when it works: it didn't work tonight. Young Flynn Riley showed something, but he needs a lot more muscle to beat guys like Meek.

Freo, Hawthorn, Geelong get smashed in recent weeks and 'it's the loss they needed to have'. We get touched up after 7 straight wins and the guy can't coach, the team is crap, no game plan etc, etc!!  Shocking conditions for the first half and we didn't adapt, granted. Tried our guts out in a quarter of slug fest football when anything in the forward 50 was a bonus..... only to have the absolute wind taken out of our sails by the worst 50m penalty of the decade! A day of learning.

Clueless on how to play in the wet. And that's coaching.

Just a rabble. Passengers galore.

Worst performance for a very long time. Years.

Only positives are that the kids will learn a lot from that. Flynn gets a senior game and great goal. And we should be really fired up now for Rottingwood next Saturday night - better weather please. The inevitable loss under Frase is now out of the way. Finals appearance hysteria now paused.
