Didn't see it.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Good news. There was nothing in it.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

never worried by that one. Ludicrous he was even charged by the umpire at the time

I think the umpires may not have given us a fair go. I think when they penalised Lloyd when he took that mark in front of goal was unfair. They were just holding each other before he marked.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Thought he'd get a week, as he left the ground for it, but it was minimal contact exaggerated by Dal Santo.

You're being kind.

Bloody stupid report by a twit of an umpire.

I thought the same thing. Damn Del Santo is soft. If I saw him in the street I might have to punch him.

 

[stay true]

Initially I didn't think there was much in it, but my mate thought he would get weeks. Looks like I was right.

In fairness to Dal Santo he was just playing for the free kick, which is exactly what Davey would do if the positions were reversed. And St Kilda did submit a medical report saying that Dal Santo didn't need any medical treatment as a result so it's not like he did anything malicious.

I think the report itself summed the umpires performance for the night. we were rarely really rewarded for anything especially all the good tackles and that Lloyd incident was just as bad.

 

[stay true]

Yeah that Lloyd decision was poor. They were both holding and Lloyd got a slap on the moosh for his trouble too. I thought they paid a free for high contact initially, but to my disdain, it was not.

I almost feel like that Lloyd free cost us a real chance a stealing the game.

I think it was his habit of standing 5 meters outside of a pack and waiting for a cheap handball receive. Stanton does the same thing, but I have actually seen Stants get a clearance.

Yeah, well I have called him soft in the past, and in previous years I've also called him lazy so I'm not saying I disagree. I just thought you were calling him soft based on that particualr incident.

If I can digress for a moment, I have to say one of the things that has impressed me about Knights and his staff is how they have forced our playing group to improve (or at least try to improve) certain areas of their game. In previous years I would have rated Lovett and Stanton as soft as Dal, but this year (and last, but this second year of his coaching tenure especially) they have gone in hard when needed.

I thought Lovett slacked off a little against North and Brisbane a few times, especially in a physicality sense, but against the Hawks and the Saints he was back on his game and took hits and put his head over it when needed. I wouldn't be surpised if during their one on one weekly revision if he didn't have a couple of things pointed out to him. Undoubtedly teams need outside players, but I like how Knights seems to be trying to make all players more well-rounded and versatile and get the most out of them.

But that's totally off topic, you just got me thinking.

Mentioned on the ABC commentary that Knights have told the guys to try anything and he will back them - no blame if they made mistakes. It is a high risk approach they play but with such a style, some mistakes are inevitable.

The only thing that they must improve is the kicking, especially set shots.
