    It's more than a bit ironic that if an umpire makes a couple of wrong calls he gets called out but if our players miss what should be easy shots it's somewhat accepted. The umpires are often just an easy target after a loss.

    We’ve been lucky so far that easy misses haven’t hurt us this finals series. At 3/4 time we were going at 35% accuracy. I don’t want it to hurt us next week. Finals accuracy:

    Good: Weightman 5.1, Naughton 4.0, Smith 4.0, Schache 3.0, Libba 2.0

    Average: Hannan 3.3

    Poor: Vandermeer 1.3, Bontempelli 0.3
