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.

Midfield getting destroyed 

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

[Watts the matter 1,235]

15 shots from 22 inside 50s, lucky to be still in this game.

Maggots doing what Gil has told them.

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.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[GCDee 3,197]

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.

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

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#%@#

[Deesprate 1,324]

Umpiring terrible BUT we are playing a top four side and it shows. Effort is there but where basically middle of the road. It that simple really

[McQueen 17,864]

We’re in this up to our eyeballs. 
 

We will smash this mob. 

[ProperDee 1,698]

Gerard Healy really sticking the boot in whenever he can. Dog.

Mids need to step up but we are getting sucked into the contest and beaten on the outside. I know I’m one eyed but these umpires are killing the game.

Glaring chop off the arms on Max at the boundary

[Elegt 872]

Am i the only person In this world that believes gus isn't afl standard this year?? Surely he needs to be dropped

[CHF 2,711]

the way that they are umpiring/not umpiring the holding the ball is THE joke of the season!

[titan_uranus 24,962]

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.

[Ham 741]

Worst umpiring I've seen all year.

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

[DemonOX 8,779]

The umps are a [censored] disgraceful. 
 

Bloody yellow maggots. 

[Biffen 12,940]

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

[Jaded No More 68,829]

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. 

[dees-picable 211]

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.

26 tackles to 36 their way.
