These refs are inventing penalties 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought they could reverse the call via replay, they did it at the Texans - Chiefs game (check replay for a potential penalty).

I guess they are not that different to our AFL umpires. Aren't they told to only call what they can see?

Horrible call by the Ref. 

Another rule they need to change, or at worse be able to challenge.

Didn't they review a flag during the Texans - Chiefs game? At least I remember Aikman and the other commentator mention it.

Some calls the replay centre can call down, facemask isn't one of them it seems

The scoring has been great but both defenses bog average

The difference being the 3 turnovers in Washington's favour

neither of these teams can win a SB. they will have to rely on their defence at some point to win and as we have seen both very porous.

i don;t know the rules but i assume you can only really challenge completions, where ball grounded etc. i can;t remember seeing a referee decision overturned.

Not a challenge but a calle from upstairs, officials review.

 

Me watching Dan Quinn competing against the Lions, should have replaced Big Mike last season.

Cost them a TD after gifting Washington a first & goal

Shocking error!

That might be the game

the lions sideline was trying to call a player off the filed. just call a timeout. not good management


lol, interception with Williams throwing into a 1 on 1 favouring the defender. 
 

This game is done if Washington can take a few mins off the clock and not turn it over.

Ben Johnson getting a little too smart… Trick play at that stage of the game, really ?

It's all coming apart for the Lions

A 15 & 2 season looking like it's down the drain after committing 5 costly errors vs Washinton's zero errors

Daniels has the makings of a very good player. great temperament for a rookie

So different to the Chiefs, bad offence but I think they are on a 8 game streak with zero turnovers.

The Washington defence has been much better in the 2nd half 

They were 5th in yards allowed in the regular season ... we sometimes see a team that gets 🔥 in the playoffs and it might be the Commanders

5 errors is 5 too many for a no.1 seed.  No excuses, none

I didn't mind the trick play because that defines who the Lions are

But to allow the opposition 45 points on your home field is diabolical.  Their defense was their achilles-heel going into the playoffs ... and it has played out that way

Offense commits the errors placing extra pressure on a dodgy defence

It's not quite over but the fat lady is warming up

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
