Disgraceful umpiring aside, not good from the Lions. I love Fagan but the finals record is so far from good enough

Just validates what some of the great Geelong teams of the late 80s through mid 90s showed - attractive, attacking footy with mediocre defence gets shown up at the pointy end of the year.

Brisbane have some good individual proper defenders, but the foot speed is bad with the talls plus Rich and Birchall. Their good midfielders favour pushing forward over helping down back.

Only one point in it tonight, but I reckon Brisbane need to sort those game plan and personnel problems to go that next step.

well done umps, brisbane surged back , but you pulled some arsey decisions to drag the dogs over the line
loved the token free against to provide a wafer thin excuse, that you were jus incompetant both ways
had a soft spot for doggies and lions and just wanted to see a close game decided by skill
game ruined by umpiring
Was a great game, stop looking at the negatives and enjoy the game. Shocking decisions both ways. Sad if that ruined the game for you.
 
Look at the Dogs fans who think theyre actually good enough to even go further than tonight as opposed to playing a depleted Lions side and just barely getting over in red time due to crucial frees

Wow.

Never changes.

Such an embarrassing post
Screenshotting so that you can't delete later out of regret lmao
 
I thought the umps stitched up GWS pretty badly last night but this is just obvious cheating for the Vic clubs now
This isn’t about Vic vs non-Vic given that Essendon - one of the big Victorian clubs - received the same treatment when playing Bulldogs.

This is specifically about Geelong and Bulldogs in this finals series and the way umpires treat them vs their opponents.

Wow.... Bulldogs the team that was touted as the best this year, early premiership favourites beat the Lions who were missing two of their key forwards and a up and coming mid forward beast. But it only took the help of the umps and loss of two of there players for the Doggies to win by a point. Port are going to smash the Dogs, Dixon will ruin the dogs backline.
 
I really do hope none of the people complaining about the umpires also wanted Toby Greene suspended for bumping one of tonight’s flogs!
 
It was a free. The rule now is you have to show "sufficient intent" to keep the ball in play.
It's no longer "deliberate" out of bounds.
James Brayshaw should know this but he doesn't. He said it wasn't "deliberate".
It wasn't deliberate but that's no longer the rule.
They've been paying these ones all year.
Was blatantly obvious by the inwards kicking action that the intention was to keep it in. Brayshaw wasn't commentating tonight either

He did show sufficient intent though.
It was a miskick.
 
The lopsided count is one thing but the main thing was how many shocking calls that went against the Lions.

Essendon lost by nearly 50 and didn’t kick a goal in the 2nd half so can’t say the bad calls cost them the game. Lions can definitely say it did.

Two terrible, absolutely terrible calls in a row just before half time when Johannisen kicked a behind. Pretty big behind.

#freekickbulldogs is a thing.

5 out of their first 7 goals came from frees.
