Umpires were genuinely atrocious today. That advantage call late in the 4th was a defining moment. I’d be punching walls if I was a Brisbane supporter.

    Lions only themselves to blame. That 50 to Sidebottom turned the game, but they just looked sluggish when they should have dominated around stoppages.

    Hate to say it but the pies were the best team today and best team this year. They neatly kicked it away too.

    The umpires were woeful from the first bounce that went out of the centre circle. 
    Brisbane should’ve had a lot more opportunities (or Collingwood less) which could’ve been the difference.

    That absolutely no advantage / advantage pies call decided the game perhaps.

    Fitting end to the season.

    Well stolen filth.

    This. He wanted a good feel story to end his endless reign of terror. Don’t forget pick 3 to Norf for McKay on your way out you piece of dog****.

    They say stuff like the ‘four best’ but they are the same muppets from every week when mistakes and inconsistency are ever present. 
    Just hope they don’t start umpiring the girls

    Gotta change the advantage rule. If no advantage accrues bring it back for the free kick 

    I think if that next player chooses to take the next kick advantage is paid. He should have stopped.

    Can you believe Frampton is now a premiership player? The bloke did nothing.

    Hipwood failed to fire and whoever was on hill hope that lives with you over the pre season. 

    I was secretly hoping they'd snag another one & Brisbane win by 2 points. 

    So frustrating. Pies kick badly but win a premiership, we kick badly & lose 2 finals

    ADVANTAGE!?!

    [censored] ADVANTAGE!!

    A player with two blokes on him. PUT YOUR [censored] WHISTLE AWSAY YIU DUMB [censored]

    YOU JUST LOST YHE LIONS A FLAG

    No matter how far it had gone, they just needed to call it back. Keep blowing the whistle. But nah, it's the pies and it's the show case of our game supposedly.

    What a wonderful summation of where our beautiful game has gone.

    Gil your are the murderer.

    God, I don't know what I'd do if I was a lions supporter at the ground. I'd want to torch the joint.

    Maybe just maybe Collingwood’s game style does hold up in finals. 
     

    This finals series really did just suck.

    I posted at halftime that the game would likely be decided by umpiring. And so it came to pass. The state of AFL umpiring is killing the game. For all the brilliant play, and players, all the work, dedication and teamwork, umpiring is simply making the game unwatchable. Congrats to Collingwood, but we’ll forever know there’s a huge, ugly umpiring asterisk hanging over this flag.

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
