    just the sort of tetchy hold that was paid all night, but that one, play on

    So frustrating

      No, the big man has good hands. We were lucky to be in it at the end. Brand handpass was the kicker.

        Don't blame the umpiring. We had calls go our way.

        Our back 6 is was a shambles and lacks any leadership or composure outside of Rampe.

          It was our mistakes not the umpires. We gave away so many frees in the first half for holding. We are giving away these frees multiple times weekly.

            Umpiring was mystifying but the result was the right one I think.

              That one was clearly a free. Just so heart breaking!

                Yep exactly right.... about 10 others like it paid, but not that time. That is what is so frustrating - pick a way umpires (ultra-interventionist like most of tonight with the exception of the Port Adelaide Bulldogseque throw-a-lot or laissez faire), and stick to it. Not this middle ground muddle we are in at the moment, where it swings wildly all night long.

                    Rampe has been making plenty of brain farts in recent weeks too - Yes he leads, but his composure has not been good like it normally should be.

                      Even Rampe lacked composure although I wonder whether that was because he lacks confidence in those around him?

                        We have the worse backline in the comp. I am sure they don't have an IQ above room temperature. How many endless stupid mistakes can they make.? Anyone is our backline coach needs to be sacked immediately. McCartin was embarrassing bad.

                          And we were in front when he did it, and running. He needs to be told there is a bloke called Franklin in front of him. If he had got it forward and we goaled, we would have been one and a half goals in front.

                            They put some pretty serious pressure on our back six when they had the ball. We need to learn how to overcome that.

                            I do think having line breaking runners of the HBF would make a huge difference.

                              McCartin had his worst game Ive seen him play. Fair enough I suppose.

                              McInerney was pretty good I thought

                                Fox wasn’t that bad, actually.

                                I can’t remember the last time anyone took a contested mark?

                                Jake probably cost us 3 goals with rubbish disposals.
