Eagles one man down, we were flogged last week in the same situation
Will be poor if we get beaten easily again

Already a wreck ... Clarke looked like he didn't know about holding the ball rule ... advertised it like the lemon he is ... Hayward marks ... ignores my plea to kick it forward ... loses ball in middle ... Allir ... what? had enough already ... Florent ... forgot him ... just not a good thinker

We've lifted our intensity the last 5 minutes!

That was a fair handball by Rowbottom
Those posters who bagged out Rowbottom after the Essendon loss should be hanging their heads. He's all class. Very promising young player. I love him.
Poor Hayward is a shell of a player. No confidence. How he is getting a game is beyond me. Just a train wreck.
Totally agree about the Clarke call, was always going to be holding the ball. He has been poor as expected. Hayward still looks lost down back (was stiff then holding the ball), Longmire clearly loves the kid as anyone else would be dropped by now.

I'm all for the umpires being strict on the holding the ball rule but you have to take into account prior opportunity. I thought Hayward was stiff especially as he had his arm held. And then 1 minute later the same situation happens and the Eagles player had an arm free to handball but no free kick. You could hear the boos from the small crowd.
Some of those dubious holding the ball calls need to go our way too.
The umpiring in that quarter would make Clarko proud.... they must have thought it was Hawthorn of about 2015 out there. Dreadful. That holding the ball call against Hayward...
I like how we are trying to play the game, but skill errors are absolutely killing us.

Yep spot on Mel. Exactly the same situation. If your going to apply the rule in that way, it has to be applied that way every time.
Between the umpiring and Dwayne's open dribbling in the commentary box.
