Trash umpiring costs Brisbane the win at the end. What a surprise!

Sick of umpiring being so inconsistent and impacting the outcome of games so much!

    Absolute robbery. Missed throws from Geelong cost Brisbane ~18 points tonight from my count.

    Most nuffies don’t understand holding the ball and don’t understand the concept that a player only needs to “attempt” to dispose of the ball of the player has NOT had prior opportunity.

    However, that non-decision at the end was the wrong call and cost Brisbane the game.

    That’s right, if no prior then just has to be an attempt. 

    But Blicavs had prior, taking the player on in the tackle. 

    Arguably didn’t matter as that was possibly a throw too.

    All the focus will be on that final decision but it should not be lost that two Throwlong goals in the third quarter should have been disallowed because of ... throwing and handing the ball to a team mate.

    I am livid and I don't care. Imagine if this was Melbourne down there, which we will be at the tough end of the season.

    Brissie got by far the better of umpiring most of the night. Cats deserved the win.

    Brisbane should make a formal complaint to the AFL about that incorrect disposal non decision. What a disgrace.

    I thought Geelong were also gifted decisions after Brisbane hit the front, that got them back into it. Ridiculous and if Brisbane was us I would be more than livid.

    Geelong led for 93% of the game. Deserved the win overall.

    Brisbane only have themselves to blame for a garbage first quarter.

    Geelong also had Danger, Duncan, Menegola and Cameron out. I can’t stand them but full credit to them for the win.

    I amstarting to hate geelong as much as the filth. The umpires are a disgrace and that decision not to penalise blicavs or whatever he is called was bordering on corruption. Selwoood again ducks his head and gets a ridiculous 50m penalty.

    Lions only have themselves to blame ... they were asleep for the first quarter and a half.  They were soft. 

    If they had have come out ready to play right from the start they would have won

    Control what you can control

    Playing away from home you're always likely to cop an iffy decision.  So take the luck out of it or pay the consequences

    Fagan should rip into them for their lack of application in the first half rather than focus on one iffy decision.  That's what a good coach would do

    Disgraceful umps tonight.   Cats kept getting a helping hand many through non-decisions eg, throws, HTB, incorrect disposal and 50 meters x 2 (Hawkins) then the Blizarv one at the end.

    The Selwood blatant throw out of the middle.  There was another one handed shovel not called by another cat at one point.  The HTB that wasnt HTB where a Cat missed everything and Rich kicked in.

    The mis match on Hawkins was glaring.  I wonder if it might have been  better to sacrifice a forward (Hipwood?) as a spare down back in those situations, leaving Joe & Cameron one out up forward with more space to run in to.

    Umps take care of Geelong no matter where the game is played.  As we will see again first hand in two weeks.

    I kind of agree 'Macca', but those poor decisions were the icing on the cake and put a dampener on the night for me.

    If Brisbane had of won it would have been a steal.

    Fagan was part of the problem (needs to rip into himself), he was badly out coached by Scott all night and capped it off beautifully by allowing a rookie to contest Hawkins 20 out from goal in the dying stages that resulted in a goal.

    The game was played on Geelong's terms and the Lions never got any quick ball movement going...yes it's a bit harder on the narrow Kardinia Park oval but they (Lions) didn't even try to break the game open.

    They got back into it with a couple of individual efforts (McLugage) and some tired old Cat legs...

    On tonights showing I'm not sure either of these teams are a threat this season.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
