It was quite clear the frustration of the players at the umpiring after the throw out of the tackle to goal in the last.... How that is correct disposal is beyond me.
Birch showed leadership to get the boys to refocus but to say it doesn't affect their game is incorrect.
Didn't say there was no affect on the game, clearly every decision made by a player or umpire has an influence in one way or the other. My contention is simply that Hawthorn was responsible for their fade-out.
