Match Thread Brisbane V St Kilda

[bobmurray]

A game you can enjoy for a change ... we released the shackles.

We managed to score when we were dominating ... Henry, Marshall, etc.. everyone lifted at once. We were linking and running in numbers and enjoying our football.

More of this, please.

However, we lost, less of this please.

[Yorkeys]

Iam finding it really hard watching AFL atm ,the way it is umpired the rules and the way they change from week to week.IMO there are too many umpires,and too many differing calls

Far too inconsistent. Often factually wrong. Some bordering on self important look what I can do stuff. Need to be absolutely certain of the appropriate degree of offence to give free kick/50 metre goals.

[Scollop]

Hey umpire, where's the back 2 metres and stand.

Chose to cheat

Blatant cheating

What are the stats for and against?

Let’s just say umpires have stepped in when required

Gets to 19 points

Free and goal against Marshall ( not there)
50 and goal against Jones not there

Gets to 7

Umpire cheats gifts them a goal

We were 35-40 points down at one stage

Was that because of the umpiring?

Stfu for once in your life

Best game of the year, it was great to see Campbell and Shoey finally get a game and both were good IMO.
Although I think the mids need to adjust to a ruckman who can actually tap the ball to their advantage.

Henry needs more time in the middle, as does Clark and Dow

King, Higgins and Owen’s combined well up forward and once we sped up the ball movement it allowed King to get some separation.

Camanetti actually looked ok down back

Butler (suspension) and Ross should make way for Crouch and Garcia

[Teflon]

Very very happy with that effort
Ari showed plenty
Wilson v good
Owens best game for a while
Marshall huge
Kudos to Ross Lyon and all the spuds whingeing we can’t score …it’s game plan…blah blah blah can eat a large one.
And….still top 5 pick!!
7 goal final quarter ….
Nice
Clean out some duds
Seb Ross
Bonner
Cordy
Jones
Trade a few and get some elite kids in we’ll be ok

[Saintmatt]

Steele is having a horrible game

Fumbling

Handballs to players under pressure

13 touches to 3 qtr time

Worst game I’ve seen him play

You must’ve missed his Dees game. Either gives up the Captaincy or

His body language is terrible .. I’m not unhappy if he goes elsewhere tbh. Prob an unpopular opinion.

[CURLY]

Might have been there but very soft 50. Umpire should have given Windy a warning which they do 95% of the time.

This subjective part if the game is a big problem IMO.

Wasn’t in the contest and just stood 5m over the mark, bit different if he was in the marking contest.

Can’t wait to see the 650 that get paid this weekend.

[Devilhead]

Their cream rose to the top when it mattered.
King had his chances but he struggles to hold his marks too often.

Dropped 2 very gettable marks at the end there ... any body contact on him and he goes into baby giraffe mode

That said he kicked 3 and missed another he should have kicked so not a bad night

So umpire will only give a warning to a player who was contesting and not players coming in after?

Is that actually in the rule book?

He’s tentative when marking. Doesn’t impose himself on the game. He lacks aggression. Won’t chase and tackle or put a heavy shepherd on. His second efforts are woeful.

More than ever now, umpires are influencing match outcomes and that's a sad indictment of what this game and competition has become.

[King Max]

Woo hoo! I got to sit on the couch and wave my little flag 16 times.

That’s much better than a win.

[silverhalo]

Really like Hunter Clark's game...finished with 16 possessions but only 56% game time - doesn't have the tank yet to play more minutes?

[BadRossco]

The result I expected but a more watchable style of football, first quarter very loose. Nas and lose Jones and Ross things could be a bit more interesting.

[The Fireman]

Firey

We were down by 5/6 goals for most of the night

Insipid start - what did you think?

Came back in the last q when we were basically done

But
I’m never happy with a loss - if you are - good for you

Brisbane are not a contender this year - they are 12th

They were good tonight and I guess that’s the difference between you and me. I can see the potential you simply want to concentrate on the negatives… i’m not happy with a loss, but I can appreciate improvement. They played bloody well tonight against a bloody good seasoned side I reckon will have a dip for the flag. We scared the s*** out of them.

Umpire #15 hates us

[Saintmatt]

Joe Daniher has taken 4 marks in 5 mins to school Caminiti

He is out of his depth

He was also on one leg too. FMD … his ankle is jabbed to the hilt. Keep up

Butler will get a fine.

Crouch’s knee is f***ed. Doubt he’ll play for a while.

I would say the rule book says nobody gets a warning.

But if you’re chasing a leading player and can’t stop in time, common sense is used.

[saynta]

Wood stuffed up two certain goals in the first quarter which was unhelpful, plus he missed a couple more.

Totally agree. Had his chance again to go to the next level but couldn't. Daniher's game was significantly better and played a key role in their win.

Well, if we played that attacking, proactive style from the start of the game ... instead of the negative, reactive rubbish, we would have won this game.

What about when Lohman ran 30 meters with the ball after a clear free to us.

The umpire not only refused to pay 50 he was yelling don’t kick it don’t kick it.

What the f***
