Love LT but he has the serious case of goal jitters

Needs to work on his goal kicking. He had this issue years ago, he was dropped to find form (not saying this is what needs to happen) and came back kicking straight

He seems pretty switched on at the moment, but allows his opponent to impact marking contests a bit too much and his execution and goal radar are a little off. If we start getting a few smaller types healthy again he might be under a bit of pressure, but he's not doing too much wrong ATM and it should be an easy fix.

Its at 14.50 in the third. Some commentator says "definite free kick" but to me it looks like a tackle around the chest that Dangerfield tries to duck into with his head but doesn't get low enough.

He was crucified tonight. I don't even think the umpire asked him to come pack to the mark before he payed the 50, and if he did, he didn't get the time that any other player would have. He copped another 50 for asking "why?". Umpires shouldn't be this soft. They don't have to respond to the players.

It's sad, but he's really got to learn that he's going to cop it from umpires just because of who he is.

I thought we got the run of the green with unpires in 1st half. We only have ourselves to blame for losing that.

Hawthorn were giving away silly frees in the first half. No one to blame but themselves. I thought the umpiring was average overall and I'm not sure that 4 umpires added anything to the game.

LT is getting folded, stuffed, packed and every other verb by the umps and has to adjust. He is taking the flack for every other short forward in the comp it seems, and it's affecting his game too much; he's back to the yips again, when he should be a kind of fwd leader. The umps won't change, he has to.

Agreed. Although that McMillan one at the end was woeful. We may have not won but they ensured we didn't.

FFS...I love the bloke but he just goes about shit the wrong way....Flies when he shouldn't, gives away stupid frees sometimes, argues when there's no point in arguing. Just dumb.
My real pet hate is how farking long he takes to take his kick and then misses everything........gezuz!!!!!
