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

    So four points given to Brisbane?

    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.

    And don’t forget Braeden Campbell, just about best on today, and another straight out of the academy.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
