Questions???

I'm aware all incidents from the game affect the final result but in the dying stages of a tight contest the incidents are more heavily weighted & scrutinised however i have some questions.
MAGGOTS: Why did the maggot McBurney put the whistle to his mouth then change his mind when Dempsey ran down the player & excuted a perfect tackle. Result "play on" then ball goes to Bris. forward line? I had a perfect view of the maggot doing this directly in front of me on the wing.
Why was the "mark' paid to Bradshaw? I thought you had to hold it for longer than .02 seconds to pay a mark. Must have thought he was a Footscray player.
LONERGAN: What was he thinking? At the best of times you DON'T KICK ACROSS GOAL so why do it in a tight game when you had safer options. He telegraphed his move allowing Brown to intercept the pass, if he wanted to kick across goal he had NLM on his own further away from goal.
What he should have done is go back wait for players to mass on the wing & boot it far up the ground as possible , out of danger. We win the game.
Players appear robotic at times & don't think.
SELECTION: Please more support for Ryder, I know Bellchambers did the undisciplined thing in getting rubbed out when we are short of rucks but Hooker could have been retained for this game.
All in all this was a vast improvement on previous efforts & our future looks good when these guys gain more experience but please think clearer in tight games.
But this game will rate with the Norf, Adelaide & Richmond game as one that got away.......
