Scotland and Carrazzo look really bad, really slow.

We simply can't kill the ball deep in defence. We have been lucky at least 3 times today where it hasn't cost us goals.

It's frustrating that we can dominate general play but aren't overly efficient going forward. Don't convert as we should then they go forward and look dangerous every time. Usually on the back of our mistakes.

Instead of 23 points up, only 11 up.

So predictable that Robbo would lack the composure.

So predictable that they would take it up the other end with ease and get one in the last minute.

In the heat, both teams look absolutely knackered. It's smart to play extras in defence so you can control the damage when you don't have the ball in those sapping conditions. We're getting scored against far too easily (the umps are obviously assisting). I'm disappointed that GC are gaining this tactical advantage.

According to the stats, 2 frees in that quarter.

Amazing the number of times this year we've gone through quarters and even halves with under 3 frees.

I agree. Especially on Carrazzo. Doesn't even try and go forward these days when he can. Does his circle and slows the ball movement down.

If he's not shutting someone down and winning the ball himself, he's very little value.

Curnow got one but took the advantage.


He had already marked the ball before the free....

Nugatory.

And that's what happens when you don't have divers, cheaters or whingers. You get a far worse go. We need another MM media spray, since no one else seems willing.

Kreuzer's been fantastic. And nice to see midfielders winning the ball. Gibbs has been disappointing since his injury.

Murphy is a diver. gets his share.
Walker is a whinger. Just gort a 50 metre penalty for it.

Doesn't always work.

I prefer the excuse, 'they just hate us'.

Its not about how much of the ball he's getting, he's slow with it, can't chase and isn't damaging like he's been in the past.

Squeaky wheel and all that. Continue to get it out in media land, and apply some pressure on the umpiring department. It worked for Collingwood with Cloke.

Gold Coast are getting scored against easily too even with a loose man.

Can I also assume we're getting ZERO support from the commentators about the umpiring?
