As I predicted, the umps are already reaming us.

That over turn umpire decision f***ed us over. We were out and there was an umpire right there looking at it but gets overturned 200m up the ground a joke

Yeah he’s a shocker, I reckon he’s got zero confidence.

Caminiti not much better IMO

If we don't start taking our chances, we're going to be stuffed.

Actually, I'm not sure it matters. The Essendon defence is unbelievably bad so far. Surely Scott will need to move things around.

Back to my original prediction. Our failure to take our chances is hurting us badly.

They’ve only kicked one goal from a genuine inside 50 and not from a gift by the umpire.

I think the importance of King is becoming very apparent

Our forwards cannot convert - always been a problem

Should be 4 goals up

Umpires killing us at quarter time.

Frees 0-5 against us including that outrageous overturn against Owens

Byrnes looked a million to one to kick that - but it was more like ten million to one.

But at last a straight kick by Owens even if he didn't hit it cleanly.

And then a dropped sitter but still a goal.

Yeah being a bit cute, I don’t think we know what to do when we’re not on a fast break with an obvious inside 50 kick

Too short on the backline. Unless Roma has time to get back we are in trouble.

I knew Jones would be a problem

We have no defenders athletic enough for him
