Fisher needs to be thrown out as an umpire. What a joke of an umpire. They say those who can’t do teach. Well this [censored] can’t play or umpire.

For what’s supposed to be our greatest strength this happens way too often

Yeah that's a fair assessment for this term.

However, our back line has kept us in it and we can absolutely get better from here.

Yeah the backs are doing a decent job. Aside from the odd free kick given away they've been solid.

Pretty tough term for us.  I don't think we played badly, just that the Lions were on fire through the middle of the ground.  I don't think they could have played better in the conditions.

However, our back line has kept us in the game, and I really don't think we're out of it by any stretch.  We are a couple of goals down and I think we can get better from here.  Plenty can lift and are capable of lifting.

Umps are absolutely murdering us though, which is hard to stomach, and Brisbane seemed to be reveling in it which is annoying.

That zorko clap is so infuriating, hopefully may flattens that [censored].

Umpiring pretty soft gifting a few goals but we got flogged that QTR lucky to still be in it.

Gawn gets kneed in the back of the head by a show off going for mark of the year but gets nothing. Then Brisbane gets too high for what. They didn't even want to show it. Biased bull#%@#

The umpiring is undoubtedly one of the reasons we're behind - they're holding us at stoppages, they're dropping it out of tackles, and they're getting rewarded for HTB when we aren't.

The crowd is heavily in their favour which doesn't help on that front (some sort of "home" game this is, thanks AFL).

But this is really only a small part of it. Our mids are way off the pace compared to last week. We're losing CPs and clearances despite Max being on top in the hit outs.

We're reverting to some old habits with the ball, too. Kicks are missing targets, and under their midfield's pressure we're starting to play hot potato with the ball.

Having said all that, we've weathered a big Brisbane storm in that quarter and we're only 14 points behind. It's not an insurmountable deficit if we can lift around the stoppages.

Worst umpiring I've seen all year.

Why the [censored] did Robinson get a free kick?

Umpire is having a big game.Shut up and [censored] off you [censored] of man.

If our midfield doesn’t pull the finger out we will get smashed. Lucky they missed so many this quarter or it would be game over. 
Langdon has had what, one touch? Jones is giving us nothing sadly. Time to make some changes.

more passengers than the Indian Pacific.....being smashed all over the park - Healey is correct spot on.

I agree, I’m not a umpire basher but we are getting killed by them. 
Max gets knocked down in the marking contest and then he doesn’t get the chance to nominate for the ruck.  Some common sense wouldn’t go astray. 
We are still in the game just need to get 1st hands on the ball

That was a valid marking attempt. Rayner clearly got hands to the ball.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
