    - Not stopping play as soon as a stretcher was called for. Surely they could see there was a serious issue.
    If we were any good we would have won irrespective of those

        True, but they all came at times when we could've had the ascendancy, but failed.

          Yes to all that.

          And re 'soccer it' while I did see one 'kicking in danger' penalty applied yesterday I am concerned by the large number being let go (thereby encouraging more toe pokes in the midst of congestion). Only a matter of time till a player sustains a bad injury from someone trying to soccer the ball out of a crowd.

            I agree after watching many of the other matches this season and the way they are being umpired.
            Why am I getting vision of a Monty Pyhton skit where all the players are just doing all kinds of silly manoeuvres around the ball just circling and stuff and no one wants to pick up he ball in case they get shot..so the players are just tapping the ball like its to hot to touch but as soon as they tap it they go backwards and forwards and around the ball and you see a slow movement towards goal when someone finally picks up and kicks only to be shot.

            Think of the silly soccer game sketch.

              If the game has changed then its a failure of our coaching staff to adapt our game plan to encompass the changes. At times we have been arrogant and insisted our game -plan is robust and flexible to keep up with the changes and it has but this year is the exception. To me our start reflects Freo last year with injuries to key players and a game plan that didn't evolve from the year before.

                The problem is the AFL decides to announce a few rules changes BUT then you have 100 bloody interpretations within that rule and thus no one knows whats going on.

                What could be deemed as a throw one week could then be called play on a few weeks later. No one bloody knows because the AFL is reactionary in everything they do, these no real foresight.

                  Good news that Buddy has been cleared for the incident just before the first bounce. I hadn't seen any footage but from what I heard on the radio they made out he could be in trouble.

                  And even better news that Greene has finally been suspended!

                    I want to try and understand what happened with the Tippett non replacement.

                    Both Tippett and Marsh got injured at training on Thursday. They flew Laidler back to replace Marsh (and Marsh was replaced in the named side) but they didn't bother replacing Tippett and used Rose as an emergency.

                    They must have known Tippett was never going to play. Why not fly Cameron back as second ruck? Does this mean they don't think he's ready yet or they'd rather ruck Sam Reid and leave us with no FWD structure?

                    Confused.

                      I think they gave Tippett an extra day hoping he might come up. marsh had a hammy so no chance.
                      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                        Why not at the very least name Cameron as an emergency.

                        And they are saying Tippett may well not play this week either, so highly unlikely not to play. Something weird going on.

                          Cameron really needed the full NEAFL game and it served him well.

                            I hope you are right and he's done enough to earn himself a spot this week assuming Tippo doesn't get up

                              Glad that some of the senior guys copped a bit in the media about the targeting of Mills, and glad to hear Luke acknowledge it and say they won't let it happen again. I hope reflecting on it is a turning point.
                              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
