    Commentators not objective. Hayward holding the ball was preposterous. Mouthpieces for the AFL.

    And no possible way to dispose of the ball legally when he went to ground in the tackle. What is he supposed to do in such a circumstance?

    I agree with all the above about holding the ball - although I reckon it is better this week than it has been all year.

    We are making some mistakes sure, but we are moving it on quickly in most cases. I'd love to see a quick movement from a kick in from a behind.

    Kennedy and Rowbottom doing well...Rowbottom was not sited much in 1/4 but did well in that. Blakey showing a better game IMHO

    Considering we have no regular key forwards, going okay. Effort there. Quick game style is the right strategy. Turning it over a bit too much.

    Our poor disposals have let us down. Florent is great at kicking over the head of a leading player and we continually turn it over by hand balling to a player's feet.

    Yes, you could argue that if your arm is a half-nelson before getting the ball, then it's your free kick. Also watching Rampe's duel with Kennedy. Kennedy is getting away with a lot of crap.

    I will be bold and call for a big 2nd half from Dawson - I hope anyway. HFF and free to roam should be his spot I think.

    We have some passengers!!! And they are a couple of the guys brought in - Ronke, Clark. Minimal contribution and just are not up to it. Pity some of our young talent not tried, even against West Coast. Nothing to lose

    Hayward is very soft at the contest. Does he really want to be out there? Absolute liability down back.

    I can't see how he will ever be an effective defender - doesn't read the play effectively at all from what I've seen.
