Earlier in the match a Jee-long player was tackled ... not 360 degrees, but round twice so it was 720 degrees. Play on ....

    So if Brisbane had have played like a 'Supposed' top 4 team there is no way they would have trailed by 3 or 4 goals for most of the game

    Therefore, they wouldn't have been playing catch up and are probably in front by a winning margin close to siren time in the last quarter

    The Cats weren't much better but they really didn't have a lot of opposition in the first half

    The above describes how the game was won and lost in a general sense

    I haven't seen one person here praise the Lions first half but plenty of lambasted their efforts

    Control what you can control otherwise you're asking for trouble

    Neither team are a flag threat and if we can't beat both sides we're not much chop either

    I can't stand Geelong. 

    I hope they don't get near it this year. Their players are getting on and if this year they can't make it to the GF they'll be in some trouble. 

    Anyways, what was most painful to watch was Smith gliding up and down the wing and then of course the sealer. 

    I could just picture him doing that for us...

    The joys of supporting the Dees hey :)

    Bingers, you’ve got it half right -you are right about the 720 degrees but THEN  he handed - not hand balled- the ball to Selwood: goal.

    Quite right. I forgot about that. Who was it? Guthrie?

    Plan what Wyl?

    We get told what to do because we're an insignificant club in the eyes of the AFL

    1 finals appearance in 14 years with a mostly chequered history prior to that isn't going to win any favours

    The club only has itself to blame whilst us downtrodden and success-starved members & supporters have to cop it in the eye (we're mere spectators when you boil it all down)

    But the natives are restless this time around ... if we don't perform there will be major changes in my view.  The patience is running thin

    We need to turn up every week with no exceptions ... do that and the wheel will turn from the AFL's point of view (albeit slowly)

    AFL has conceded it should have been a free to Bailey in the goal square.

    Hope karma comes back and bites Geelong in the backside.

    The AFL have a two way connection with the Umpires. That decision needed rectification. The AFL is responsible for not implementing this change in an UNMITIGATED DISASTER that could change the season.

    As for the decision not being clear to UMPIRES that were very very close, those two collectively should not umpire again, along with the appropriate suspension of payments,  until they improve to the extent where they receive from an unbiased group of neutral officials that they can carry out their duties effectively.

    What an absolute joke. 3 umpires out there and nobody saw it? The most blatant HTB of all time. 
    even the dog in the ARC would have called that free

    Princes Highway Robbery!!!

    Too gutless to pay the free to Brisbane in front of their goals whilst playing Geelong in Geelong in the dying minutes. There’s no other explanation.

    Jeelong have been cheating down there for years, if you are happy to concede that, i can’t help you. 
    Brisvegas were robbed last night blatantly in front of the Umpires and nothing was done. 
    Even the AFL have said so today

    Result should be reversed

    What if Bailey then missed the goal? Anyone's crystal ball able to see if he got it or not?

     

    Lousy umpiring game after game week in week out. One bad decision should not be the catalyst for reform, but if that's what it takes, great.

     

    Meanwhile Geel & Bris can both rot. GO DEMONS!!

    You're dreaming again Wyl (like I've always said, it's ok to dream but it's not ok to be a dreamer)

    And I'm not conceding anything ... perhaps I just have a different outlook than those baying for blood over a few questionable decisions.

    And perhaps you could stand apart from the mob occasionally instead of taking the safe option of going along with the crowd (I won't hold my breath)

    I'm also a big picture person ... we will be sent down to Geelong as long as we're viewed as an insignificant club

    And Brisbane robbed themselves by not turning up in the first half ... one could argue that the pretender Lions got what they deserved (they certainly didn't deserve to win)

    You're letting your anti Geelong bias get in the way of an intelligent discussion.

    SWYL .... you are one of my favourite posters.

    But I presume you're kidding about wanting the result to be reversed.

    What are you talking about Macca?

    With 20 Seconds to go it was 2 points the difference, that is reality, not Mob Rule

    In the Goalsquare there were 2 BLATANT decisions against Jeelong

    1. Holding the Ball

    2. Incorrect Disposal 

    Neither were paid, and it cost a team the game. 
    Disgraceful. 
    What Brisvegas did or didn’t do in the first half is completely irrelevant

    They did the same back in r23 of what I think was 2014 or 15 when Bris needed a win to make the 8 v geel. Dying seconds, ball in dispute... Chapman dives onto it and the ump calls a ball up instantly. 

    Edit: 2013. @7m20s

    Adelaide and Sydney has been a good match.  Have really enjoyed the style of football this season.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
