Yup. They are really warming to the Biased crowd big time. Stats show WA home matches are hugely lopsided umpiring wise and this is no exception. It makes their night so much more enjoyable when they are being cheered all the time.

white has been good as well

Need to find replacements before we replace them... The cupboard is bare

Henderson on the other hand... Classic bruise free football so he can be fit for Geelong's pre season

Our skills are crap. Third week in a rowe I'm betting we're around the 50% mark by foot.
Time and again their line across HB just gets the ball from a crap inside 50 entry and runs it out like a rugby backline move. We have NOBODY lead ing at the ball carrier because all our forwards are across the centre line. On the other hand, when they get the fiity and run it, they have a selection of players leading at the ball carrier from inside 50. Somebody has to look at why they are on top of the ladder and work out why.

The number of dropped chest marks that quarter by us was astounding.

As I said at quarter time, the runner incident cost us a goal and resulted in a goal to them. 12 point turnaround. If we had a bit more luck with the umpires (the 2 goal square ones against Tuohy were line ball at best, and I reckon the umpires have let go some suspect handpasses by Freo) we'd have our noses in front at half time....

Not bad considering we have some senior players who look either mentally or physically off their game (Hendo, Yarran, Jamo, Simmo, Tuohy) and some kids/fringe players who don't look up to it.

If the effort drops off (which it surely will at some point), we'll get blown off the park.

But I'm content with the work rate so far.

Good luck to him then. Just when the Cats are entering a decade of crap too If it was Hawthorn then would make sense.

Simpson has fluffed it a few times, Carrazzo as well. Everitt need to be cleaner. Can be a one touch player but just eluding him tonight.

Henderson is in some sort of Slow-montion mode.

God it's bloody frustrating watching him with those sort of efforts.

First time in ten years, I'm gonna criticise a player. And I'm gonna go hard. Real hard. And here it comes. I'm gonna rip his tits off, I am. I'd like Henderson to be a tad more aggressive in his marking, if that's ok.

Yes, I'd love for a player in response to that sort of decision pick the ball up walk over to the umpire and flat punt it straight into his face as hard as he can.

We are having a real crack which is good but we are an average side. This shouldn't gloss over the fact we have a number of very average players.

Positives are Kruezer, Docherty, Cripps, Tuohy, Buckley, Murphy, Simpson. They are part of the future. Question marks over the rest IMO.

Such an aggressive mark in defence, such a timid one in attack. Don't get it.

Brad Johnson is a moron

Flower off Brad Johnson
