Tells you how bad the umpiring has gotten

Tells you how bad the umpiring has gotten

Just in regard to the umpires, wearing yellow in a game with a team wearing predominantly yellow.
Umps are filling holes nicely.

 

[Doggy]

Tells you how bad the umpiring has gotten

Yep

We seem to be getting hit by them more this year as well

 

[Doggy]

Awful work from the dogs leading to that point. Mistakes everywhere

 

[W W Biscuit]

I think I've just seen the worst passage of football I'm likely to see this year.

 

[Doggy]

Really look short of game time.

Getting pantsed by a team of spuds

 

[Testekill]

I'm going to be generous and say that he's getting over injuries but Cunningham has been a mile off and has been really bad.

 

[The City Boyz]

Liking poulter today

 

[Testekill]

There's a lot of times where the Zebras are definitely not disposing of it but are being allowed to drop it in tackles to no free kicks.

Thoughts so far after the Lewis goal 18:40 in the 2nd:

Jacques, Bus the clear best 2 of our listed players, Smith and Baker probably the next 2, with not much after that. Lennedy + Poulter both with a nice goal and not much else, Duryea, Jones, Croft, Scott all virtually unsighted. Gardner getting beaten handily when he's been near it.

They're smashing us out of the middle, and had the better of the play, we're doing well to not be 6+ goals down

One other note, we look very small compared to the Zebs, especially behind the ball

 

[Testekill]

The little I've seen from Scott today he's been awful too.

Whole team has. Sandringham haven't won a game for a reason

 

[Bulldogs85]

Yea just keep Bombing into our forward 50 like that has worked a treat in this game.

Doesn’t help we had two byes in a Matter of 5 weeks something for that clown that runs the AFL needs to fix

 

[JohnnySteel]

Feel for Croft as the lone key forward in this side, has players hanging off him at all times. Would love to see him released off half back or the wing but then who does he kick it to?

 

[DognBones]

We look very weak and slow at centre bounces. Midfield looks really impotent today, fumbling and out-paced by opponents. Nothing up forward with Croft having a bad day due to both bad positioning and poor delivery. Baker sweeping up very well in backline but has found himself manning a 200cm giant who is marking everything. Need a huge lift across the board to get back into this one. Agree with Puppey above, we have a lot of very small players compared to the Zebras.

 

[Wocka]

Half time down 28 to 50.
Side is way too small.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Wouldn’t surprise me if we see Jaques making his AFL debut soon been impressive

 

[Wocka]

All 3 emergencies starting the 2nd half

 

[lachy]

Jacques and Buss the only 2 to date putting theirnhands up

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Wouldn’t surprise me if we see Jaques making his AFL debut soon been impressive

The kid can play, great addition to the list

 

[Ted's Robot]

Not looking good, thought we should have got a free for tunnelling but instead it was called a goal to the zebs
