These things concern me atm

We couldn't move the ball slower if we tried.
Eberts foot skills
Brisbanes work rate
Ports lack of work rate when Port have the ball. No lead ups at all.
Toumpas.

We lose by about 6 or 7 if these continue.

North very lucky. Got 2 questionable decisions in the last minute which got them over the line.
Saints just never give up.

Yep, rucking frees can be a lottery..

75 each when the call was made, a minute or so remaining.

St Kilda p*ssed away some chances in the final 10 minutes.

Trengove was excellent. Gave us something at ground level for the first time from our ruckman in a couple of years. Outstanding.

5 for Charlie. Boak and Wines good. Polec, Hartlett and Wingard did enough.

An eye opener for a Norwood supporter perhaps, but from a Centrals fan a definite step up from the Gawler Central line :)

I come to the conclusion its just the Gawler line but 40 years in the future. I was really surprised at the age demographic of the Power supporter, i thought it was meant to be the crows that had the oldies

Pretty anti-climactic finish to the Roos v Saints game. Wood played it perfectly using the "shot clock" as he should have, but wasn't a great end to a gripping contest from a viewing perspective.

With the changes to the game having a positive effect on scoring output is the shot clock still required for shots on goal?

I guess without a shot clock he may have wasted even more time but having the shot clock there and a player literally watching it count down wasnt a great look.

The other issue is that not all grounds have the shot clock as far as I'm aware which just makes another inconsistency in the game.

I don't thinks it quite as a big an issue in this case as he probably would have ran most of the clock down in taking the shit in normal circumstances. What would have happened if he was say 65m out from goal and decided he was going to have a shot despite being unrealistic, does the 'shot clock' start then

Mate, if I'd seen this before I would have loved to have caught up with you. I've got a picture in my head, but I'd like to complete the puzzle.

6 seconds before the ump calls play on if not in a scoring position. Just think it's not a good look for the game, and tbh I don't really see why the same mark or free kick gives a player a 30 second breather when the same mark or free gets 6 seconds elsewhere on the field.

Im sure there's bigger issues in the game, I'm just not sure it's a necessary requirement.
