Just back from the game. Very disappointed.
[1] The Umpires were terrible. The things they missed and ignored when watching less than 15 m from the ball. They have no idea how long 15 m actually is. They simply weren't watching what happened or waiting for the other guy to make a decision. Most unprofessional performance I can remember, and I have a long memory.
[2] For what was basically a VFL side without a key forward, we did pretty well. Not a lot of glory beating us with so many injuries. Not that it will stop the morons on the other side.
[3] Kicking into the forward line: I could wax lyrical about this one, but the forwards didn't help. They were so static! Haven't they heard of leading? Or opening leading lanes?
Live Long and Prosper!

Sorry we didn't give you a better result.

On this 3rd point, it's no use shooting the crew in the temporary F50 setup today, our kicking has been very much the same horrendous disposal even when Harry and Charlie are on the lead in front.

Get the ball use right and our points for will go through the roof, the rest will look after itself.

I don't care it's obvious why we lost, we played all over the Aints early, had double the inside F50s and went to the break behind on the scoreboard.
Yep, we lacked composure and connection, a better team would have feasted on us, but we were playing St Kilda and had a chance to win the game. I must say I’m bitterly disappointed with the result because we were better than them in the last quarter and couldn’t make it stick, players will be shattered, would have loved the ball in Moir’s hand for that last shot at goal to ice the game. Not sure how we turn the emotion around should Port get over Freo, but we’ll have 2 weeks to sort that out should it happen.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

What utter heartbreak, relying on PA now but we had it won against the odds. Proud of the fight and heart they showed.

Didn't see the throwing incident, but that was indefensible. Whoever did that is toast. Besides, the goal umpires were not at fault. the field umpires, on the other hand, ....
If we were good enough, we would have won, but their incompetence ... I just have the words to describe them.
I've done my share of umpiring, but I simply didn't make those sorts of mistakes. Not AFL, granted, just under-age and school stuff, but there was only one of me.
Live Long and Prosper!

I haven't started up a thread for the finals yet, as I have no idea if we'll make it. Port now ahead of Freo, who are even more disappointing than we are.  I won't start up a thread until the result is known.
Live Long and Prosper!

The worst team we have put on the park for a couple of years and we lost with nearly last the last kick of the day.
Pretty fine effort of spirit from us I thought.
Wouldn't be too proud if I was saints after finals last year Ross has them in a death spiral.
We have rolled the dice for the last 5 years by continually keeping players on our list who are constantly injured and not available. Everyone tells me how great Russell was with Curnow’s knees. Great job there but an absolute bloodbath everybody else. List selection needs a ruthless shake up I mean adding another injury prone muppet in Fantasia was just the last straw Marchbank Cunningham Martin Williams sick of cameo games that makes us think wow but then out for slightest ailments that warriors like Cripps rise above. Clean out the cupboard even Docherty should be borderline but he and Silvagni have some credits in the bank.
This is what has possibly cost us the finals this year we ran out of fit good players 6 weeks ago

Fantasia had 10 possessions today, but he was worth his spot. Each of his possessions hurt St. Kilda.
Jesse Motlop: 4 possessions and only one of them a good one - his goal. His season has been a right-off. Never been either fit nor in form. He is one who really needs to pull the finger out.
Matt Owies: some total brain fades today. 11 disposals, but not many good ones. We should sign him up, but he is another who really needs to work on his disposal and decision making over the summer.
Brodie Kemp: a forward cannot afford to two-grab every mark. As for his leading, I don't remember seeing many. He has a lot going for him, but he needs to work on his decision making and kicking.
Jack Carroll: did some things, but doesn't do enough. I think Cooper Lord might pass him pretty soon. I liked Lord's game: 19 possessions and 7 tackles.
Ashton Moir: there is a fair bit of promise there! He did more in 1 quarter than Motlop did in 4. He made some decent decisions and his kicking was good. We've got one here!

I thought the same, from limited opportunities he had game influence and I can't say he's had that much game influence in any other game.

Someone at the Carlton cheers quad end threw a water bottle and hit the girl umpire in the head. Can't recall any controversial decisions.
The “girl umpire” was the replacement… the male umpire that was struck by the plastic water bottle went off and stayed off.
Let’s go BIG !
