Game Day - Tigers V Swans

Is it too much to expect a boundary umpire to throw the ball in the required distance? Happens every game, short throw ins means all structures are out of whack. Results in an easy clearance to one team, usually not us.
 
Our kicking woes are even impacting Dusty. Nearly missed his foot with one on the wing and then couldn't make the distance from 30m out.

I haven't seen as bad a kicking side as this for a long time.

That one for Mansell? He doesn't need to if he runs over the mark. He came from outside the 9 and went inside the 9. Its a pretty simple rule. If the defensive side marks behind the line of the goal square you don't go over it, its like going over the mark. I'm happy to call the umps out (and Mollison has been red hot on anything we've done wrong - as he always is) but he was right there, was just a dumb mistake by Mansell. He has to be better than that.

Everyone else gets a warning to get back, we get a 50m penalty

So frustrating to watch Baker and Vlaustin make basic skill errors on top of poor decision making.

We’re relying on foot skills for the first time since 2016.

There’s the issue right there

Thanks Steve Hocking

Is Broad our most important defender? We're at sea without him.

When the start of a game is a clearance to them and then a 2 grab chest mark to Amartey you know it's going to be a sh!t night.

If you go that far over the mark you don't get a warning. He ran to about 4-5m out from goal. The rule is at the 9. Was miles over where he should be. It was a brainfade.

Dusty has been very un Martin like, Balta has been shaky and, Vlastuin has been horrendous.

Taranto has nearly clangered every posession it feels like.
