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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
