Two possessions in and both commentators are confused as to why the shot clock was only set to 14 on a front court inbound.
Dam Rocci getting hacked a few times with no call.

Rocci jacks everyone and her push offs are so blatantly obvious but she gets away with everything , good to see her getting a bit back lol

If not a score and one for Rocci, why not a clear path foul?
I think Purcell or whoever was deeper than Madgen when foul happened.
Does anyone pay attention to how often Garrick travels when stationary with the ball?
I do not like Rocci at all. Seems like a bit of an ass, foul was called and proceeds to rip out the ball from Garrick's hands afterwards
Noooo, Molloy is getting a contract extension...
Refs were very generous to Melb tonight. That said, caps never got in a flow...

Molloy still has two more games to $%^& it up.
Just wait.

Probably not as much as Rocco or Heal, same as how much so many of these guards carry the ball, Rocco, Cubbillo, Heal, Mansfield, the list is long, never gets called lol

I for one am grateful caps are out
Join you there, they seem to attract really annoying players, though it does give Molloy more bargaining tools to keep his job,

I don't think anyone will shed a tear for Capitals being bounced from the Finals! Rocci, Froling & Griffen are the most annoying players who constantly whinge & bitch when things aren’t going their way but at times they thru their questionable actions push the envelope on the court. See Ya Capitals!
'they seem to attract really annoying players'
AGREED! Froling and Rocci especially, and Kia Nurse the last couple of seasons was one of the most up herself players I’ve seen recently. Tolo and Griffen can be a bit ‘a FOUL?! I only smashed her onto the ground’ too

Gorris blaming the fact "they didn't get to build real
Chemistry because the season was so condensed"
UC Caps had the majority of their team return and had been training together even with their “development “ players like blaster for months because Canberra were not in lockdown
They had a much easier schedule than most of the teams barring Flyers ,
Only teams that legitimately didn’t have any preseason team trading as a group where Bendigo and Boomers, everyone else had all their players in one spot training
I don't think he ever got his rotations right... Ruef and Melbourne were instrumental in some of the team’s early wins and then they got f all time in their last two games....

Melbourne wasn't "instrumental “ she was a gung-ho player that other teams gave no respect too so she managed to get scores, second time around teams shit her down but she still had her “gung-ho “ style happening which as you saw perfectly examples in the Boomers game, landed her in trouble getting caught with more experienced players . Rookie mistake numero uno lol
Ruef though she wasn’t used properly for sure, but I think their biggest downfall was over confidence and relying on they were going to win with Rocci and Tolo their only go to players and were caught on the back foot .
