    Spot on! Just because you're playing badly doesn't mean you "deserve" to be screwed by umpires. A lot of us rationalized the 2016 GF loss by saying. "Oh well, we didn't play our best anyway." You should get a fair go from umps regardless of your standard of play!

      Shocking first half. Effort lifted in the second q but we dont have enough game breakers

        Much better quarter and our disposal efficiency improved while the increase in our pressure impacted on the Pies efficiency.
        Fox is playing well and his effort to hold up the Pies attack when outnumbered 3-1 was impressive.
        Free kicks are 14-7 in our favour and we were probably the recipients of a couple of soft frees in that quarter.
        Buddy doesn’t appear to be fully fit as yet but is playing with a bit of fire.
        If he was fully fit he would have had a shot when he ran into the 50 rather than try to pass off.
        Still quietly confident that we can pull away and get the points.

          Hopefully we can go on with it. We seem to have figured the Pies out offensively that Q.

                I think our forward line is now more functional without Lance Franklin.
                He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                    We have to kick those. Who knows how many opportunities we are going to get.

                        That’s more like it, we’ve been very dominant for that one goal

                          Brilliant work Papley. Wicks has been superb this quarter.

                            Weather and Pies want it scrappy but those last 2 goals have been exhilarating!
