Just curious if CH7 are dissecting the dodgy free kicks? Fox have mentioned it but haven’t shown them it’s bloody frustrating.

    What a great game!!

    dogs went in harder for longer. Won the contested numbers and deserved the win. 

    lions needed another fwd to mark a few

    Great game of footy, some tough desperate football in the last 5 minutes. But I can't see either of them beating Port. 

    As for the Lions, they seem to lose games in the same way. Cameron gets off the leash in the first quarter, the other team changes their defensive mindset in the midfield denying Cameron time and space to roam freely, and he shows the limits of his game. Other team comes over the top.

    Dogs very good in a tight game. 

    The umpires seemed to be rewarding incidental contact, but I have to admit, on most of those occasions, the Dogs were first to the ball.

    No surprise to see the Bulldogs and Cats on top of the freekick differential ladder for the year

    You just have to love Aussie Rules Footy folks. Yeah some poor umpiring but the real stars are those guys on the field and they played their hearts out. 

    It’s true layzie, but the game needs to be protected, dare I say saved from its single most obvious blight. When the game’s  adjudication is so often horrendously flawed, it becomes very hard to watch, because it destroys the idea that two teams are playing each other on equal terms. It’s frankly amateurish, and simply has to be better.

    Bulldogs went +31 in the 2016 finals.

    So far in the 2021 finals they are +17 in just 2 games.

    It stinks, and unbiased supporters are going ballistic on Twitter.

    Wow I wish that clock ran for an extra 10 seconds because the lions were about to go back into there 50. I did want to see overtime. Feel for Fagan, I think I'd rather lose by 4 goals than by 1 point. 

    Daniher only the 1 goal. Would have liked to see im kick a few more. 

    What 2 great prelims next week.

    It's so transparent, yet nothing ever changes. Season after season, the same armchair ride to the same teams.

    Two years in a row the Lions have had an advantage that other teams would cry out for in finals (home ground/crowd) and it’s amounted to nothing. The dogs are getting their pressure game going again but really I think port will account for them purely because Port will have the week off and the Dogs just had a fierce encounter.

    Absolutely brain melting, the inconsistency between what the umps see as a free kick to the Dogs versus play on for the Lions.

    God the Lions missed Hipwood. Playing a man short with big Joe on the ground.

    I thought Brisbane was the better team, so really don't mind them going out.

    Umpires! was Brisbane ahead on the count with frees for, at the end of the first quarter. They stormed home for the dogs in the end, brutal.

    When I heard an umpire heckle Johannisen after the siren in the third, i thought they would even up the count in the last. As he was getting into his routine, came the call, kick it over the man on mark. 

    Plenty of Brisbane players went missing at times in that game. The Dogs got belted up, they will be sore and it appears they have some injuries, a few may not get up for next week.

    Spot on Webber. It definitely makes it hard to watch, I just wonder if it will ever change.

    Lions got your extra 24 seconds to make top 4 due to a timekeeping error in R23

    Oh the conspiracy!

    the umpires get together and decide they want the dogs to win! It’s been happening for years. You can tell as the dogs haven’t won a final in 5 years. 

    they were harder at it and won contested ball. Admittedly a few dodgy calls but it happens 

    you honestly think the umps get together and decide to pay more frees to the one team?? 😂

    Plenty on here seem to think so.  Some even convince themselves that the AFL tells them which team to favour.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
