    It's been poor for most of the season. We've lost the ability to play tempo football and control it for a while

      8 goals in 15 min ffs put an extra back when it gets to 4 goals. Does Luke just refuse to make changes when the opposition get a run on ?

        What's the record centre clearance differential in a quarter? It's been one way traffic jeepers.

            We just have to finish this game off a strong effort, this is not about age, experience or games played its about cracking in for the next 30 minutes.

              he did.
              The issue is centre clearances.

                  When umpires start low fiving the opposition players you know somethings up.

                      If Tom Boyd actually played forward, and got umpiring like Hogan gets, he'd be on track for over 50 goals too.

                        Don’t like to harp on about the umpires but gees they are red hot on us tonight. No prior. A legitimate attempt at the ball gives Hogan more charity and Bradshaw pull his kick because he see Doggies down the line and it not deliberate then a little five with the umpire. Give me a break

                          Here's s tactic to consider: play a extra man or two in defence and just give away a deliberate free kick at centre bounces. I'm sure we would be able to defend that better than just allowing our opponents to waltz the ball out of the centre time after time. Tom Campbell - anyone?

                            If as the AFL says it's insufficient intent to keep the ball in, then I can't see how that's not paid. The high five afterwards was incredibly unprofessional.

                              Just get rid of the grey area and make last handball/kick out of bounds a free to the opposition. I want black and white rules - interpretation is for street theatre not umpiring.
