Luckiest side in the footy world.  

I’m not sure how lucky it is when you consistently get the umpiring advantage. I just don’t get how this keeps happening. It’s an objective embarrassment.

    Port must be licking their lips

    The final block at the end summed it up. 

    2016 being repeated is a decent bet.

    What happened to "putting the whistle away" in finals? You don't see that many [censored] free kicks pulled out of thin air in H&A!

    Brisbane have every right to be seething over that. I've never seen a more blatant example of match fixing from umpires than tonight's game, and they got the result they wanted.

    Gee that was as deliberate as you’d like, umps decided that one big time.

    We’ve got no hope if the Dogs beat Port.

    And we play the AFLs love child

    Was about to post the same thing.
    Usually finals umpiring is better that the H&A.

    Looking towards next week I’m a little nervous, the umpires two favourite teams in Bulldogs and Cats through to prelim, we’re going to have to make sure we’re 10 goals up in the last quarter. 😓

    So a physically exhausted Bulldogs, minus Weightman and Bont vs Port. Could be one sided.

    And Lions out in straight sets again - is that two years in a row?

    Felt for the Big Oscar Mac, he was one of their best and after 100 ruck contests he gets done for a block in the last centre bounce. How stiff!

    Umpires [censored] the bed late.

    That wasn't a mark to Bont, clearly second to the ball.

    That shouldn't have been a free kick against McCarthy, jostling like that in the forward line happens all the time.

    And was that really a block free kick against McInerney?

    (meanwhile Zac Bailey might have ran too far for his goal at the end...)

    We can beat the opposition, but we can’t beat umpires. Hope doggies don’t get any further so we don’t have to cop the bad umps. 60+ more free kicks than the next closest team. It’s outright cheating and cannot be argued any other way.

    The umpires handed them the momentum for their final goal and final point. Legit won them the match. Cheats.

    Same thing happened at almost every centre bounce. Was only called a free kick when the umps needed to help the Dogs over the line (and it proved the crucial point that got them home).

    Great game despite the umpiring. Proper finals football. Lions and their supporters will be filthy

    Meanwhile Brisbane over the last three years have finished top 4 three times for a 1-5 record in finals (all bar one of those finals have been at the Gabba) and two straight sets exits.

    We can’t go on like this. Clubs need to get together and call this out. It’s blatant cheating and it’s ruining the game.

    • 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?
