Perth vs Gold Coast, Game 1

I dont rate Reid or Ronaldson as commentators. They're extremely bias & talk about stupid stats like who has equal minutes played between two players.. Or Reid's calls of "You have to slam in through the ring" or "what a slam dunk".
Very cringe worthy out of touch dad like calls.

Agree refs sucked, but Blaze were just out played.

Alexkrad has pretty much got it spot on IMO. Blaze started well but copped a red hot Wildcats in the 2nd quarter that blew the game open. From then everytime the Blaze looked to make a run the Wildcats were able to settle and get a good shot. They were well in control and never looked threatened.

As for the refs, yeah there were some wierd calls/non calls but nothing that seemed to favour either team or have a real influence on the game.

Goulding had numerous open looks - including a wide open 3 to end the half, but couldnt hit a thing. Last week he was redhot and couldnt miss but this week nothing went close. Unfortunately that seems to be the way for the Blaze this season, when they are on they are unstoppable but on those off nights they dont seem to have ways to grind out a score and get the job done.

Still, im optimistic that we will get the win in game 2 at home, I wouldnt be surprised to see it very very physical and then if we get a game 3 I guess anything is possible.

Playing Gibson with a torn calf was a dumb move. It's not a GF game 3. Those things get worse. Was it another "Wortho lost" game, except for a couple of nice 3's? Terrific effort by Petrie. Big fan of that guy.
