So if there was this so called extra vision through "hawkeye" why didn't they show it in this review? I think that the excuses they gave were very lame!

I thought the review umpire's
call was that the vision was unclear and thus it reverted to the goal umpire's call. That's not consistent with there being additional footage that showed it was touched.
I'm long past blaming umpires for losses, but if I was to ever make a comeback to that particular pastime, this would have been the game.
In the mid noughties the Weagles had a charmed run from the umps at Subi, getting every 50/50 and the visitors get donuts. Now it seems that with Freo being the dominant WA side, they now get the outrageously one sided home town decisions which seem particularly prevalent at Subi and have been for well over a decade...

Some observations from the game.
Reid is around the ground ruckman and should only be used in defence in that role. He gave us an enormous amount in the second half. Very Teasdale like.
Lloyd is now our number one midfield distributor. The disposal of Parker and Kennedy are way below his level.
Lloyd's gut running is outstanding.
Cunningham should be banished to the 2's and traded.
Tippett should always play FF.
Rohan should always start and play up forward. Is very dangerous at the fall of the ball. Tippett plays FF, Franklin CHF with Rohan at their feet. Gives very dangerous structure. Messing around with Tippett creates too much instability in the structure. Rohan and McGlynn provide the quick forward pressure.
Not getting a lot of effective ball use from Kennedy.
Need another quality back man.
Jack needs to play 4 quarters.
It should be said that Reid wasn't playing ruck at any stage...he was playing midfield and using his leap to jump third man up. This was a great move by Horse as it really nullified Sandilands and in turn the Fremantle midfield.

Bloody wait-awhiles!!
They should just go ahead and form their own country.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
To be fair to Kennedy, he was at the birth of his first child and wasn't on the original flight with the team. He didn't get to have a run with the team at the ground prior to the game. And we also do not know how his wife's labour went (I hope that it went as well as could be). I am sure we will see an improved display.

Nice to see Lloyd getting recognition.
Jakey played really well.
Such a cool head in the second half.
He got us out of the @@@@ a few times.

Not so fast, last year Cunningham won the Swans rising star and finished tenth in the Bob Skilton medal. He was improving wonderfully.
He may just need a firecracker up his backside to make him realise he hasn't made it and has to work even harder than last year. He probably should have been dropped for more than one week in round two(?)

In that regard he reminds me of Paul Williams. He actually seems to quickly check his options before making one.
