Demons vs Lions - Keep it in here

[Gak Attack]

AFL wanting dees to win or just terrible umpiring? Either way Brisbane the unlucky ones being forced to bend over and take it.

 

[brucetiki]

Not overly surprised at the scrappiness of the game given it's two sides which I reckon will occupy the lower third of the ladder for most of the year.

 

[Lach72]

Dare I say deliberately dodgy umpiring, AFL favorite for the match?

Two incredibly dubious frees for Melbourne goals.

Conversely Melbourne players are getting away with a lot.

God that was soft. Incredibly soft.

 

[Magma]

After seeing the replay, I reckon it's the umpire, and not Hanley, that lost the plot there.

absolutely. before the replay i thought he hit him in the back of the head. obviously he didnt and it was incredibly soft.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Umpires clearly have Jim Stynes in mind.

 

[Lach72]

Watching the umpiring you'd think the fix is in. Some bloody ordinary decisions going Melbourne's way.

 

[lionel_luthor]

Terrible quarter of footy, going to be a long season for both clubs.

 

[FRUMPY]

one qtr in and can tell neither side has improved. Gonna be a long year for both sides.

 

[BACCS]

The first free to Magner wasn't that bad, it was a ripping tackle that may have gone a little high, but you do see those rewarded a bit. It was definitely holding the ball if not high though. But the 2nd one... well, yeah, you'd hope the umps have had a brain fade because we better not see those getting paid all year. No doubt the Giesch will use his twisted logic to justify the decision though.

 

[CAS79]

Brisbanes forward line so ordinary it's concerning.

 

[BACCS]

Yup, can't see why people thought Melbourne were on the up, very ordinary.

 

[Jaeger]

Clark's going to be great for Melbourne IMO.

 

[BACCS]

Brisbanes forward line so ordinary it's concerning.

No Brown or Cornelius, probably their two best forwards. It would make any side look ordinary.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Add in Brown and that changes very quickly.

 

[Magma]

haha magner seems like such a little shit. love it.

 

[BACCS]

Loving the first gamer Magner getting up into the faces of Brisbane players, great to see.

 

[CAS79]

No Brown or Cornelius, probably their two best forwards. It would make any side look ordinary.

True, especially on the Brown front, but still the depth drop is probably more drastic than most. they are going to struggle to kick scores even with Brown back to his best. ... Though Leuenberger makes me look silly straight after it.

 

[E92_]

Great effort there.

 

[BACCS]

Clever from Polkinghorne there!

 

[Kram]

haha, nice goal.

 

[lionel_luthor]

Its a pity one team will win today, both teams are utter garbage, bottom 4 material easily

 

[Shade]

this is stupidity cant touch magner

 

[Magma]

magner's gained some favour from somewhere. getting everything

 

[larson]

Can't stand this Magner dude. Melbourne getting an unbelievable run with the umpires.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Terrific mark from Howe! And kicks the goal.
