Thilthorpe had a pretty ordinary game but still had twice as many disposals, twice as many marks and double his supercoach score.
Harry was poor last night.

Thilthorpe was paid marks for attempts that were less than what H was called to play on for, multiple times one of them at the top of the goal square was seconds after the very same mark had been denied to H on the wing, and that's not counting the chest mark Thilthorpe was paid that basically come off the ruckmen's fingers, yet no Review. In the end even BT became embarrassed about it which forced him to later utter his "umpires have become lenient" remark, and BT hates us with a passion, he was probably holding back a giggle as he said it. I think at one stage, I can't recall if it was Fox or 7 because I've watched one live and the other as a replay, said something like "They better hurry up and kick before the review happens."

btw., I thought the AFL was supposed to be reviewing the whole scoring chain in 2026!

Nothing but silence on Haynes taking the footy in the air over the boundary line, goal Crows, imagine if that had happened to Pendles or Dangerflog, it would be front page news.

None of this is a conscious decision being made by anyone, it's the result of subconscious anticipation of events, and we're fostering that environment.

Shhh, don't mention the war!

Last night was a good performance by our boys against the odds. Cannot question their effort and apart from a loss of structure combined with a slow reaction to a crows tactical change early in the second, we held our own. We didn’t get the rub of the green as stated by many on this site but battled on and if not for a lack of polish and cohesion at critical times we were right in this game. I’m much more positive about next week now if we bring that same level of competitiveness.
