    That last one that should have been htb after being spun 360 was the finest dummy half rugby league pass I've ever seen on an AFL field.

    The fairypuppies would be proud.

        It's pretty hard to win games of footy without a functioning ruckman. I don't know what the point is of playing Sinclair - we end up having to hide him each week. We need another ruckman, but in the meantime let's play Amartey.

        Umpiring has not been great.

            I don't get why we need to hold in a ruck contest and off the ball.Giving away too many easy frees. Need to find something big time as we looked to stop to a walk. Not getting to the contest that quarter.

              Yep. But we are also losing just about every stat that counts. Lucky to be still up atm.

                There have been some pathetic frees given tonight, but you are right about the lazy frees we give away. Very frustrating, and we look really tired that quarter. Hopefully can lift in the last.

                  Not going to be popular here but I'd drop Wicks and bring back Stephens to start

                    Lloyd is the top possession winner on the ground with 21, and then they have the next eight highest possession winners. They're winning inside 50s 43-25.

                      We are running out of puff. The ball spent most of the quarter in their half. Our kicks were rushed and we are fumbling a lot.

                      Some players have hardly been sighted. I thought McLean might have been injured but spotted him once that quarter. Who is Clarke on because he has been quiet.

                      We have to keep the ball away from them and be clean with our disposals.

                        Umpires shocking.

                        Sinclair needs to lift.

                          Yeah, we need that late game run through the middle.

                            Well, we're winning the tackle count, but we aren't being rewarded. But we do need to get a bit more dash through the middle. Almost all of best players tonight are defenders.

                              Can't see our young legs getting back on top. Hope I'm wrong.

                              Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                                Finally a HTB and a great chase and tackle from Hayward
