Autopsy Post Mortem vs Melbourne

[Countrypie]

We didn't win because we are not good enough

Or we didn't win because when the siren sounded we were 4 points behind (10 if you want to be technical)

Grundy, Moore and Cox would take 10 marks per game if the chopping the arms rule was enforced.
I watched all the games this weekend and it's not just our games......It seems that some rules are forgotten and 1 case will be pulled out every once and awhile. That's just how it is when the AFL allows interpretation rather than following specific rules of the game. I note we had 4 field umpires on the weekend? The commentators were discussing this as if it was an unusual trial. Has it always been 4 umpires this year? If so, I suspect this could be why so many free kicks are missed

There is no longer in the back (hence why Adams wasn't rewarded) throwing the ball, unless it's a Collingwood player vainly attempting to handball. Someone has to teach our players that when caught...either hold or drop the ball. Don't try to handball because each time it looks like 'incorrect disposal' even though this happens 50+ times each game.

to be fair our key backs would have a lot more goals kicked against us if the rule was enforced.

And the 4 field umps is a trial. Not sure of the timelines but it's a trial for a number of rounds this year

Monday's loss hurts given Sydney beating the Tiges today.

Not so sure - seems to me that the ladder is getting tighter - if we beat Port this week we're in it up to our ears

We would have been four points closer though. Means it would have been like an '8 point game'

I think almost all of them will be 8 point games from here on in
