Honestly one of the worst umpired games I've seen. All the more painful considering it's the Eagles who always get the rub of the green at home.So umpiring was as bad on tv as it seemed at the game ?

Did our skills look just as bad on tv as they seemed at the game
Yeah, in one night she's taken away all the good the Greek have done. Lost you credits gained for philosophy, democracy and spanakopita in one performance.
Let me think... YESDid our skills look just as bad on tv as they seemed at the game
Some things should be seen but not heard.
At what point as club do we standup and give someone a blast at the AFL. That fundamentally changed the game. It's a disgrace. I actually asked on my mates whatsapp group for those not at the game what was going on. Roma would have halved so many more centre bounces. I miss our own home ground. Tonight felt like we are just part of the AFL machine with that.Throwing up the ball hurt Marshall. So unlucky for him, gave Vardy a big advantage because of his height. Still thought Marshall was great though.
- We are thereabouts but we need to score. Plain and simple.
Fought it OK, but their goal kicking let us off the hook first half of the last quarter.
Thought Battle and Billings were good. Dunstan got plenty but his disposal lets him down.
Long should be dropped.
Umpiring in first half terrible.
Not only did Eleni pluck out soft or wrong frees for West Coast in their forward line, she ignored Gresham and Billings being held off the ball.
She has no business umpiring AFL, deadset hopeless.
That being said we still could have won that game, good teams overcome bad umpiring and we aren't a good team.
We really miss Jack Steven, we could have done with his burst and speed out of the centre tonight.
Not to mention we miss Carlisle, Roberton, Geary, Hannebery and Paddy McCartin, we've walked under a ladder and kicked a black cat on the way through.
This is a big overreaction to a reasonable game from Marshall. He is tracking very well as a number one ruck. Stef Martin wasn't a number one ruck til 27. Gawn didn't put it together til he was 24. I see no reason why Marshall can't be a good ruckman for a long time.He was struggling this week.. got beaten by Vardy who is a pretty ordinary ruckman himself.. we’re overrating Marshall way too much.. he had a couple of good games, he is can get some clearance, but he won’t be a dominant ruckman like Dawn, Martin or Grundy.. These are all seasoned rucks, Marshall used to play as a forward who can pinch hit in the ruck.. we need to find a more permanent solution, seeing Acres/Bruce rucking is ridiculous.
I was worried about what bringing Phillips in would do to Billings but it was Newnes who seemed to suffer. Got put in the forwardline a lot which I'm disappointed to see. Is a wing or half back and has started the season very well. Phillips was good tonight but Newnes has earned a spot on the wing for mine.I was mostly disappointed with Webster and Newnes as 2 of the more experienced players they gave us very little.
Battle was great as was most of the backline. Brown and Savage also good.
Hind had to play next week I don’t care what position just play him.
I liked Dunstans game.
Very harsh call , Gresham had 20 disposals , Ross had 31 , Steele 22 , Sincs had 17 but i thought they all did good things throughout the night . yes their mids were better but ours werent disgraced at all . Steele has been one of our better players this year , as has Ross and Gresh . None of them will be dropped and they dont deserved to be .

Jesus. At one point in the 1st quarter I was missing the long bomb to the top of the square.I reckon we should try something different and bomb it long to the top of the square.
Not been sexiest but Eleni should never be allowed to umpire again.
Bit AFL will come clean tomorrow morning saying all the decisions were correct.
