    Apologies to Mantis. "I’m over Libba just throwing the ball out." me too, now.

          Bont second half - 21 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 goals. He was unbelievable.

                  With respect, your point is?

                    I think you can respect a good game from Libba and be frustrated with him releasing the ball aimlessly, when it could be held in. Even giving up a holding the ball free kick is better than a quick turnover.

                    That's how I interpreted the comment, not that he throws when he should handball.

                      I was driving back from Sydney and missed the game - is it worth a watch? I felt a bit like it was all downside - lose and we'd have lost to North Melbourne, win and we hadn't really proved anything. I see at a glance we were super accurate as usual, though I appreciate Cody getting 6(!)

                        Worth noting Norrrfff only had 36 inside 50s and scored 84 points.

                          Exactly. It’s happened a fair bit this year. Stupid handballs over his head to space (usually direct opposition) who go and waltz a goal. It’s a regular occurrence and he’d be yet even better if he just eliminated this out of his game and took the occasional HTB. It’s unnecessary and I hope he tightens up on it along with others.

                            Worth noting we lost our defensive pillar in the opening 10 minutes and then another KPD-lite at half time. I think we adapted pretty well.

                              Not sure how you went down this path? my comment, as per others was about his decision to release the ball away aimlessly when he didn?t need to. He has cost us goals at crucial times this year and it needs to stop.

                                It was a good game to watch, give it a crack.
