Rd 18 vs Fremantle Dockers @ Optus Stadium

If that was a legal handball in the Heeney tackle, then surely it was deliberate out of bounds?

We can regroup and refocus it will be hard for the Dockers to keep that pressure up. Maybe showing some bias but the umpires seem to be very lenient with their interpretation of incorrect disposal I reckon there were three occasions where Dockers either outright dropped the ball or threw it.

The umpires are helping Fremantle a lot. 2 x 50m penalties already. Another trashing coming up.

The 50s were there. The umpire called Stand twice but both Amartey and Buddy moved backwards off the mark. I hate the Stand rule. But I agree in general the umpires aren't paying what we deserve.

They look physically stronger than us. We have to win the centre clearances to get it forward. Their forward defence work is good. They get so many around the stoppages in their forward line.

Done really well i thought to minimize damage on the scoreboard just 2 goals down is great defensive work.

How was Papley not being held?? Do we have West Australian umpires?

No, but Meredith and Gavine are almost always crap. Fremantle getting away with so much holding, pushing and scragging off the ball.

Umpiring aside, Fremantle are a party impressive team. High pressure. Play for each other. Rory Lobb always plays his best against us as does Brennan Cox.

[dejavoodoo44]

I quite liked Errol's calming influence in that quarter.

[Mel_C]

Our clearance work has to improve. We can't let them get first to the ball.

[Mel_C]

Bad fumble by Hayward in front of goal. We have to be clean.

The only decision that could have been made.

They looked a class above us in that qtr. gotta lift.

This is looking like panic stations early. Freo are hunting us and we are starting to wilt... this could get ugly.
