Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 18: Brisbane Lions vs. North Melbourne, 7:25pm AEST Gabba

[Rod Stroker]

Should have won by more

 

[scoman]

A sucky way to finish but it's top two now for the lions. Should have won by a few goals to be honest. Hard one to swallow for the Roos

 

[iBeng]

YOU BLOODY BEAUTY

 

[DieSwans]

I like brisbane so much more than north but * me....what the * was that?hahahh

That weak dog just buckling his own legs and getting the free hahaha weak dog

 

[The Dice Man]

Umpires ruined a great finish.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Brisbane way too good.

 

[dmc333]

Yep, terrible call.

 

[freddy mercury]

Couldnt happen to a better team.

 

[citizen-erased]

Would be a shame for North to lose another close one.

or not really at all
this weekend has been great.

 

[dean33]

North should send the afl a please explain after that. Truly diabolical. Whoever that umpire was he shouldn’t umpire again this year.

 

[Hodge1]

Bad luck North, absolutely robbed all night by the umps.
This is the exact reason I don't follow the game wholeheartedly anymore, no idea what's going on with rules and umps.

 

[Chubberson]

What a billy hunt

 

[Alesana]

I can't stand Thomson but that was no free. Lions deserved the win regardless

 

[Harris Specter]

That free makes up for the BS one Ben Brown got

 

[kendrick]

Never been a North fan.

But that free kick was nothing short of a disgrace and robbed the game of a brilliant hard contested footy finish..

Afl doing all it can to keep footy relevant in Qld.

 

[Eagleboy68]

How can it be a block if he marks it?

Umpiring needs a massive overhaul. Lost control of their interpretations.

They're ****ed.

They've got no idea. Right now they're running about 20 percent correct.

They're trying to make it sanitised.
Not even allowed to bump ffs

 

[Arathrawn]

Both frees were rubbish. Was a good game otherwise.

 

[Rich01]

What a disgrace.
Umpires ruin another contest.

 

[ciggybuttbrain]

Unlucky North

 

[Great8]

Geez what a shame, maybe Shaw can learn how to coach them to play more than 1 quarter. Two weeks in a row they have disappeared after quarter time

 

[windyhill]

Shaw does the whole bewildered look beautifully. Win lose or draw.

 

[Page8383]

I don’t usually tip into these match day threads that become umpire bashing threads, but this has been an abject disgrace tonight.

With Brown and then McInerney me might go a long way to find two more incorrect decisions this season, and two decisions that better highlight some of our umpires complete disconnect from footy.

Yeah
Regardless of which way the decision goes it feels like they just have no sense of the game

Tight contest - minutes to go - just let the better team win and let the 50/50s go

 

[Spursfan]

christ, forget about solving 'congestion' sort out these ruck and marking contest frees. absolutely killing the game

 

[mxett]

Probably the softest free to decide a game I've ever seen

except it didnt. They kicked another after the siren

It was a fair square up for Brown's gift. Plus the Lions had far more scoring shots. The better team won

 

[carnthemlions]

fu** me dead.

What a robbery. He bumped him in the side you campaigner.

******* bulls**t.

Anything for the AFL dollar in Brisbane

******* cheat umpires.
Go back and learn the rules you campaigners.

You clearly didn't see our last game.
