    Whoever posted that Nicholls was a good umpire will change their mind after watching this game. He is terrible umpire and doesn't give us a chance. He has paid so many holding the ball decisions against us and none to us. There is no consistency. He infuriates me whenever he umpires.

    Well I usually shy away from citing raw numbers buuuut the 50/50s usually pies way. Always rougheads way too, much to commentators absolute delight. If Sydney gets done htb, the exact same situation the other way won't be paid. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

    Nichols is nearly the worst - only Stevic has him covered.

    All the holding the balls so far have been ball up or free kick to Collingwood.

    Have to say the umpires are not adding to my enjoyment of the game

    Pies are quicker , run into space, provide more leads , hit targets .
    Swans nowhere as busy with leads and hence more turnovers .
    If they can address that .....

    Should be a rule NEVER kick to the side Grundy is loitering. Seriouslyly Lloyd - you had so many options and that's where you went. Sigh

    Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

    Heeney has been atrocious. Mills quite good. Need to get Lloydy off Wells.

    Leave Sam Reid in the ruck - he is doing OK against Grundy - Sinclair forward. Might be risky but Reid has 1 less hitout to half time than Sinclair.

    Heeney, Melican, Hayward need to lift. Buddy not great but 1st game in a month. Blakey needs to find more space somehow.

    Kudos to Clarke if he is tagging Sidebottom - hard to tell on TV - but if so he has done a fantastic job.

    Impressed with Sam Reid, his ruck work against Grundy has been good as he doesn't try to wrestle him but jump at the ball. Held his when rucking, plus he has kicked a couple goals.

    Jumping into Grundy is the way Callum should go too.

    Keep it going Sammy.

    Yes that’s a really bad matchup. Stephenson is too fast for Rampe too.

    Clarke is doing a number on Sidebum though

    Possibly starting to change my mind? But I reckon the worst tonight has been Margetts, followed by Gorman. Very different holding the ball rules for each side.
