Nice melt bro.

Countless throws? Lol, show me the footage. Quick & best hands in the league aren't throws btw.
It's pretty well known and previously demonstrated that the Dogs throw a hell of a lot. I remember seeing footage from the GF where they were meant to be examining your "Quick & best hands" and ended up embarrassingly laughing given 90% of the footage had you throwing it.

Meh, we'll come good and should still play finals. Woeful tonight mind you.
Got to hit targets is the lesson. Cost the team two weeks running.
That's not the only lesson. Collingwood belted you and it wasn't just because you didn't hit targets.

That looks an even worse loss after this week haha. They're absolute gash.

Not concerned with the Pies. Been losing to them since 2004. Probably the only club in that time with a negative W/L. It's par for the course.

Work to be done but I guess everyone's losing games recently. It'll turn around and not hitting targets was the main reason both weeks. You get killed in footy nowadays when you turn the ball over regularly.

Gero, not hitting targets isn't the only reason, we were totally outplayed and outcoached last week and against the Suns tonight.

Our zone BS needs to piss off, guarding grass we are.

All other problems are cosmetic. If you can't hit your own player by hand or by foot, you lose.

It's happened in the VFL for the last 3 weeks and it's now infesting the senior team. Zone or man on man, be honest with yourself, some of our turnovers in the last two games would have still occurred no matter the structure. Missing easy 20m kicks is inexcusable. Need a CHF badly though :(

Aaron Black not filling the void? Who else could fill the role?

more then one incident you guys get looked after every week

dusty legged no free
dusty pushed in the back no free
countless dog throws play on
bont tackled and doesn't dispose of it play on
we breathe on you free kick dogs

you are a good side but the umps cant wait to jump on your nuts dogs have 3 extra men every week
I was at the game last night and as a neutral there were plenty of suspect decisions that went Richmond's way as well, pretty poorly umpired game all round.

How about the blatant throw from Lambert that resulted in a Riewoldt goal with under a minute left? Took about 10 steps and had plenty of time to dispose of it correctly ? Are we just going to ignore that? Even Richo said you got away with one there.
absolute throw and should of been penalised. but then there was 30 throws that the dogs got away with as well as dusty getting legged and you guys getting a goal from it. then one ump calls play on when astbury and suckling are holding each other yet the ump 60m away runs in to give the dogs a free
