    So lucky there we are getting walloped around general play ball is living in defence while we cant move it at all.

    Gonna be tough over there with the umps against us too
    That one with Tabener was 1 Million percent a free to us but as usual, we don't get it.

    Someone needs to follow/negate Cox in our forward line.

    I think Florent has been pretty good.

    How was Papley not being held?? Do we have West Australian umpires?

    If that was a legal handball in the Heeney tackle, then surely it was deliberate out of bounds?

    We can regroup and refocus it will be hard for the Dockers to keep that pressure up. Maybe showing some bias but the umpires seem to be very lenient with their interpretation of incorrect disposal I reckon there were three occasions where Dockers either outright dropped the ball or threw it.

    The 50s were there. The umpire called Stand twice but both Amartey and Buddy moved backwards off the mark. I hate the Stand rule. But I agree in general the umpires aren't paying what we deserve.

    They look physically stronger than us. We have to win the centre clearances to get it forward. Their forward defence work is good. They get so many around the stoppages in their forward line.

    Done really well i thought to minimize damage on the scoreboard just 2 goals down is great defensive work.

    No, but Meredith and Gavine are almost always crap. Fremantle getting away with so much holding, pushing and scragging off the ball.

    Umpiring aside, Fremantle are a party impressive team. High pressure. Play for each other. Rory Lobb always plays his best against us as does Brennan Cox.

    I quite liked Errol's calming influence in that quarter.

    Our clearance work has to improve. We can't let them get first to the ball.
