Also, doesn’t it suck we need to play in Darwin. We need to play in Hobart. We need to play in Launceston. Do the Pies? Do the Blues? Do the Tigers?

We are already behind the curve ball with supporter numbers and they double down and hit us with a bit massive stick. I’m sick of it.

its not Carlton's fault they are shit... its the fixture! heyk, they don't get to travel as much as we do , the burden of being a big club.

And still part of the post. Not sure why this is an issue as its always been part of the post. It was a point as the replay proved.

I’m just saying the flag is not inside the line, personally I think if it hits the flag it’s a goal especially when the flag is actually at the back of the post.
What happens if the goal umpire somehow doesn’t wrap it properly and the wind blows it around ? If it hits the actual flag blowing around it’s not a goal ?

I blame Steven King.

He's too dangerous to be kept alive.

Completely agree but I also think our inability to shut down Lukosius was as big a factor in the loss as anything. He beat O'Brien in a number of contests and did Gardiner cold once as well.

If O'Brien isn't intercepting in the air he really brings nothing to the side and is a defensive liability. I think he's had a solid year, but tonight was a big step backwards

As I saw it too.

Yep. That's the way it's always been.

There was a reason the Hawks delisted him, and you pretty much summed up the 2 biggest ones.

1. his frustrating and does not play close enough , and poor body on body with his opponent
2. he can't kick.

[Bullies]

It's a bit of a quirk I guess as it's possible for the flag to be in a different position dependant on how its sitting in the cradle.
However, I've got no problem that it's a point.

It the way she goes boys. The way she goes.

It was probably the only umpiring decision that went their way tonight so all good.

[SonofScray]

Poor performance and likely to flow into next week given the conditions.

Think we had a decent chance and enough quality to go on and win it after Flea goaled after the siren. The run on they had, and us not cashing in when we got going killed whatever chance of sneaking out a win in a poor performance existed.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Yep we gotta cop this loss and move on el pronto.

It is the reason he was let go by Hawks - his disposal and decision making is awful.

What was the 50/ goal to Williams for???

[Grantysghost]

What was the 50/ goal to Williams for???

Umpire had money on us.

Crazy decision.

Ask him to move back, then if he doesn't it's 50.

[lemmon]

The umpire's desire for a thrilling finish. That decision was ridiculous, would've been ropeable if I were a Suns fan

[JanLorMill]

English against good tap ruckman, his not a ruckman.

Jarrod witts has really come on. It’s staggering he was delisted by the Pies. Only picked up because Eade was at the pies at that time, I believe.

It happen vs Carlton and wouldn’t call Pittonet a good tap ruck. Witts beat him in most stats except marks anyway

[1eyedog]

I felt we were a runner short all night. I would have brought one in for JOD.
