GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Brisbane

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,456]

We're done

Weid misses 3, Bennell misses a sitter, Kozzie misses a snap from 20 out directly in front...

Ffs?‍♂️

[Demon Dynasty 16,368]

Sorry but Weid just doesn't like the pressure when kicking with a deficit.  STILL a downhill skier.  When the going gets tough his kicking goes to water.

 

[Biffen 12,564]

No composure in the 50.

Bennell just cost us two goals. Inexcusable. 

Maybe his calf is hurting 

[Purple77 970]

I'm still tryna' cool down from that Harley moment.

Absolutely killed us.

[The heart beats true 16,711]

Being outclassed here.

To be fair if Brisbane don’t win the flag this year they never will. They are being handed it through time and circumstance.

Half our side can’t go at this level though. We are a middling side.

[Pates 9,556]

We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant. 

[Jaded No More 60,132]

Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

Brisbane ruck grabs it in the ruck, takes on a player, tackled, no clean disposal. Play on.

Jetta has his head ripped off, gets a handball off, "Holding the ball".

Healey: "And Jetta ducks his head again."

I'm done.

Yep, Brisbane ruck Definitely  holding ball not paid!

[dees-picable 208]

Its not the umpires - we are slow of brain and foot...Bennell misses from 15 Cameron slots it from 40. Nuff said....

Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

theyre not that good 

[—coach— 3,475]

The frustrating thing about this game is that despite the dreadful umpiring, the easy shots missed and continual errors on our behalf, we should be right there with them. Instead 3 goals down which is a really rough ask against Brisbane, in the wet, at home, when they are playing well 

[CHF 2,634]

Just do not understand that 'dangerous tackle' decision????

Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront 

[BW511 2,353]

Brisbane are more desperate, so much hungrier to win the ball

[titan_uranus 23,228]

We should have won the first quarter by 1-2 goals and that quarter by 2-3 goals. But we're 3 goals down and the game is probably gone (only one side all year has come back from a 3QT deficit and that was pre-COVID).

We haven't been disgraced and IMO our defensive setup has again stood up well: the two goals we conceded that quarter were from a Jetta brainfade (he's had an absolute shocker IMO) and a throw in a stoppage following Bennell's horrible miss.

Too many what ifs (Weideman's 0.3, Bennell's miss, Pickett failing to pass to Langdon, Jetta's free against, etc.) to win a game against a top 4 side.

Love a please explain on the kossie dangerous tackle. 

Not going to happen, Melbourne have always been gutless in questioning the AFL about shocking umpiring. ?

jetta is ducking his head at every contest

Yes he is a G.Healy is right in saying its going to be back for his health if he get hit like that.  Mate fractured his neck doing that playing AFL right in front of m; 9 months of recovery .. 

[Coq au vin 754]

Very very very bad umpiring

[WA Demon Boy 966]

bit of heat there but let's have a bit of a dip

Well they are clearly better than us ?‍♂️

[In Harmes Way 7,620]

Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid.

some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

[DeeSince73 459]

Umpires doing their best to kill just about any joy I had left for the game I used to love. AFL you have almost killed Australian Rules Football. Disgraceful.
