Thats the most gutted and upset I've been after any loss this year and its the proudest i've been of the boys effort in a fair while. The intensity and the dare and the will to crack in at the contest i thought was excellent. So frustrating that the game was for the most part officiated out of hands and very frustrating to go goaless in the last quarter but overall the game actually gives me hope going forward.

Gotta beat the umpires and Brisbane, come on lads

This is the most blatant cheating I’ve ever seen

#freekickbrisbane Always the way with Brisbane games

Cheating grubs at it again

Can't remember the last times our odds were this bad but also don't mind being the underdog for a change. Make amends for the loss earlier in the year or at the very least just have a red hot crack. come on dees.

We literally can’t get a fair go from the umps, they’re giving it to north right in front of us

Clarko handing umpires brown paper bags still it seems

Rivdog!

Just make tmac a forward already

Is there just perpetual booing at the ground cause the tv is making it sound like there’s non stop booing.

Based on the recent form of both teams, I'm not gonna be surprised if north run away with it, they scored with ease against the pies and without general rick down back and an underperforming midfield, I could see them being able to score quite efficiently against us. Really hope that won't happen but an illustrious man once said, "hope for the best, prepare for the worst."

i'll save a post about the game until later but by gee Collingwood fans have sunk to a new low. The absolutely vile stuff being said about angus and the championing of maynard made me sick and also just very sad. Genuine waste of oxygen, the lot of them.

All that will happen post that loss is goodwin's usual robotic press conference and a disappointed player interview. We may win a few more matches this season but performances like this will continue to become more frequent. Any change seems impermanent, always talk and never actions. Who's going to take accountability, probably not a single person.

the fact our second best defender is probably also our best forward genuinely makes me laugh.

can't retain possession at all, this is neeld era sort of bad.

have just turned it on, seems like our midfield is getting smashed yet again, anything else to note?

Tom McDonald, that is all.

Thank goodness vines decided to take the game on, much better transition from the back half.

We dont defend the handball chain through the corridor well at all, classic dees game, dominate most of the game and only up by 2 goals at halftime.

poor kicking gonna kill us here

I wonder whether mcqualter has had a detrimental impact on our midfield, I don't remember watching such an insipid melbourne midfield for a very long time and I haven't seen one that gets continually beaten regardless of the team we are matched up against. Everything stems from the midfield, poor entries, lack of territory, having to absorb repeat forward 50 entries in defense. It mostly comes back to mids winning the ball and retaining possession. As i said, i believe this is the worst our midfield has ever functioned in recent memory and i imagine the stats would suggest that as well, but why? I genuinely can't understand why this is the case this year and i'm wondering whether it is a coaching issue.

Can anyone else decipher why when the ball hits the deck inside our forward 50 there seems to 4 carlton players immediately on top of it yet it seems more like 1 on 1s when its in our d50, if we cant retain the entries, we're not going to challenge at all. Also can our midfield please get to work, Brisbane game we got smashed out of the centre and from memory the sydney game was a centre clearance demolition. amazing (or maybe it isnt amazing) how much rests on how effective your mids are at the contest.

That was an absolute snipe to the guts, if anything the carlton player should be getting heckled by dees fan not the other way round. The lack of intelligence on display by these morons beggars belief.

Carlton fans are just horrible, replacing essendon in the top three of the worst fan bases in the league??
