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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
