Review Round 11 = Fremantle 75-75 Collingwood

We did go pretty early with the killing the clock with 10mins left. After Hill’s goal I reckon we thought we had it won.

I can understand why we went that early with Cox off so Cameron would be cooked, Mihocek off, Pendles with one arm, Allen looked to have done a hammy, plus a number of young guys.

I didn’t think tonight was a certain win with the team we had, injuries, playing recent games with only 1 or 2 left on the bench and short breaks between games.

With 10mins to go we should’ve won, but considering our situation coming away with 2 points isn’t so bad.

Well that sucked. Played well but didn't get it done.

Many small things not going our way late, frees, Hill not quite getting to the boundary. But the key is the two easy misses. Needed Billy and/or Schultz to finish. Was always going to get tight late, couldn't afford to miss those.
 
Umpiring aside, going into no-score, keeping’s-off mode with 10mins to go let them back in. Lucky it didn’t cost us a loss.

We’ve been flirting with danger for ages in these situations and were going to get burned sooner or later.

It was a very costly result, with Cox and Checkers both injured and likely to miss against Dogs and Dees. We’ll be out of the eight in two weeks’ time.

The “rule” that no one even knew about.
Cost us a goal.
Cost us the game.
The AFL must explain, reverse the goal, award us the points or we should take them to court for blatant cheating.
The umpire surely has money on a Freo goal at a certain time in the game.

Maybe we just need to kick straight?

10 goals 15 behinds isn’t great.
 
Sorry to harp on the issue, but can I just get this straight... are you telling me that every time a player drops the ball on the ground instead of giving it directly to the ump, it should be a free? That happens multiple times every. single. game. Players tossing it to another player to give also happens every game.

I just cannot believe the one time it's chosen to be paid, it directly in front 15 metres out. FMD.

Sorry. As you were....
 
1. We didn’t lose
2. We haven’t lost since round 2
3. We were always up against it this week, with our injuries and inexperienced 5-6 players
4. We made mistakes and couldn’t hang on to win it
5. I’ve already moved on
6. The poster who called Fly weak is a disgrace
 
I can’t believe we didn’t win the game because a player accidentally handed the ball to a team mate stead of the umpire.How ridiculous.I wonder will their be howls of poutrage from the media and the general public over this?Probably. It because we were on the wrong side of the decision.
