Exactly.

Watch Jamo vs Buddy in the Wing in the first quarter. Opportunity presents, and flashes by.

So Simmo becomes Captain?? Or Carrots?

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Lucas fumble in the third, Rowe follows suit, goes the other end ... Goal. Goodbye both players.

missing 3rd amigo ?

seriously though, Jeffy was in a rich vein of form but has now gone missing for some reason, and Eduardo is rusty.

I'm only going to say one sentence in this thread....

That was the most unbelievable game of umpiring double standards I've ever witnessed

On the positive side. It looked like Murphy might have a more severe fracture.

Unless he sees Hird's Doctor?

]Essendon* can inject themselves stupid and apparently Lucas taking a tablet is a WADAble offence.

In all fairness to Lucas, he did ok tonight.

That's the problem though it is consistent. Consistently bad.

I agree. I am reasonably happy. Good armwrestle. We matched it with them but when we do slow up later in games our game falls away.
Looks great when we are full of run (but don't score enough).

We need to identify the players that don't put in the kms.
Robo looked spent by half time and you can count on him falling away. The third tall Caz/Rowe also robs us of a runner. If murphy didn't get injured then we sub one off for lucas( a runner) and there is a chance we can keep up so we are probably unlucky there.

Very happy we are not involved in shootouts. Hopefully we can keep it tight and compact for the next month.

Get the tall players situation/balance worked out to allow us get the best out of our gameplan.

Micks going to town on the umpires

I have no doubt AFL has informed telecast to ramble on about the hit to lessen the blow

replay showed Hodge brace the shoulder for impact with the head. Broken Jaw. 4 weeks. End of story. Also 2 weeks for the after the play snipe, so that'll be a fair holiday.

Richo can't handle that interview and wraps it quickly

No, at least not both of them. We need to bleed them into the side. Lucas has a future but he will make mistakes. I'm disappointed in players who have 50+ games under their belt missing easy shots, giving away kicks downfield and missing tackles.

Such a frustrating game. I never bitch about the umpires, but there were so many bad decisions against us tonight...

Don't question our endeavour this game. Hawthorn played at their best and we were better overall.

Defence was our strong point once more, and despite the loss of Murphy, our mid-field was excellent. It was a high quality contest where the umpires determined the result, and that's the first time in years I've complained about officiating.

Even when we might've been over run, we kept at it.

2014 will be good.

Losing @#$%&! sucks. These losses flower hurt.

For all our supposed improvement, this will end up being another wasted season.

Gutted. Again.
