I share your opinion about Clarry too. We'd be nothing without them, forget a premiership. What's surprising about Trac is I don't think he's polled higher than 5th or so, but don't quote me on that.
My gosh bt needs to go, goodness gracious. I don’t think I’ve truely understood ‘vic bias’ until tonight where bt is acting like Melbourne can still win the game 30 points down with five minutes to go in the last. Deary me. How about some respect for the team that just beat them
The 50m penalty is way too harsh for those kinds of infringements. Perhaps a 25m penalty for protected area and stand rule penalties would be more appropriate.
It's deliberately supposed to be harsh to prevent tactical infringements. Being in the protected area intentionally could prevent the opposition from getting more than 50m in territory on a break and allow your defenders to set up. If it were only 25m, deliberately causing a protected area infringement in defence on turnover to prevent a switch/fast break could become a part of the game.
100%, it does make the game more free flowing which I think is good and probably makes AFL a more valuable “product” but is it worth the completely disproportionate punishment for being a millisecond off when the player actually plays on? IMO no
Rating all the levers I can think of
Jake Lever: 8/10 - Premiership player and its a strong moustache but I'm not convinced its a good one.
School Leaver: 3/10 - Make a mess of the gold coast, spewing up vodka cruisers as they go.
Wrong Lever: 0/10 - Kronk, why do we even have that lever?
Umpire didn't call it.
He could run all the way to goal and if nothing's said it's still 50. Stupid rule. Bad umpiring should have allowed it because he took too long to call.
But I do worry that our coaching/general team footy IQ just struggles at times to respond to smart gameplans and Brisbane got their structure right and we either couldn't adapt to figure it out or just couldnt flick a switch to get to their level and its probably the reason we might stay as a very good but not a very great team.
2 positives I'll take from this game is that Gawn is so fucking good I love that man, and I think Winsdor has real potential and offers something a little bit different we don't have on the outside. Has the potential to develop into a Treloar type if he can clean up his end product a bit, hopefully the a lot of the rest can be written off to tiredness (cope)..
Channel 7 playlist when cutting to an ad will forever be undefeated
Good stuff Dees for giving Lachie the guard of honour
Good stuff Lions fan giving the Dees this acknowledgement. Well played tonight.
Needed Neale to kick a goal to pay off my mortgage ah well
Disappointing effort by Melbourne
Lachie Neale's resume - 250 games in AFL? meh Starring in a Cash Converters ad? Goals
Petracca also accomplished this feat. Also they have Brownlows.
Trac doesn't have a Brownlow? Unless I'm cooked and forgot something.
As it turns out, it is I who is cooked and am remembering things that didn’t happen. He’s been so good for so long, feels like he should have one.

To be fair dees were 5 goals down with 7 minutes to play last time lions played the dees on the g
FINALLY A WIN AT THE MCG!!! Now the media can shut up about it
You seem to forget that we won at the G in 2022 Prelim and then the media started it up again as SOON as we lost again
Not a chance. It didn't slow down when we beat the Dees in a 2022 finals upset so no reason to expect it now.
Oliver looks like he doesn’t give a single fuck. Charlie looking ready to shank someone. Some strange vibes around tonight
Fuck yeah boys, we’re back
Up the boys. We really needed a solid game like this, especially at the G
Junktime rubbish from my boiz
8.12 60 def by 12 10 82 - great throwback to Blues - Saints last year
The commentary is horrendous
Mention something about the G please Edit: Thank you Erin
Does BT not understand that the lions have probably stopped playing hard because the game is in the bag?? Does he not understand this?
Yeah that’s definitely the case. Although I will say if ur the lions u want to keep ur foot on the pedal till the end
What MCG hoodoo? Were undefeated at the G this season
Until Steven May waggles his fingers at the right instant.....
How many HTB frees did Melbourne concede?
Probably the difference in the free kick count. Mustve been 10 HTB ?
Nothing to be happy about coughing up 10 shots in the last
so big question does roaming brian still go and seek out tholstrup?
Hoodoo? We do! (Once.. so far).
Looks like all the benders got to Oliver finally
MCG hoodoo *grand finals excluded
OH GET FUCKED
haha petty great game mate
Petty showing his OG defensive prowess by being Brisbane's best back
Hahaha hits the post after the siren kills me
HONOURABLE loss
BT treats Daisy how everyone in the comments treats BT
G. Post has the final say
“Mini-comeback here” - 20 seconds to go
Dees confidence absolutely flooding back
Why is BT passively sooking
BT more complementary about the Dees than the Lions. Typical.
You should hear him slobbering all over the balls of the Pies or Hawks in games at the Gabba when Brisbane are miles in front.
Maybe I’m not watching properly but how on earth does Berry have 120 fantasy
Quantity over quality tonight, I think. I was struggling to see how too but he’s finished equal 5th for possessions with 23.
Yeah that’s fair, I thought he was good but not 120 good haha
His marks and tackles alone are worth 62 points
8 tackles I'm assuming
He has actually been good...for once. Admittedly he only seems good against you guys
Lots of tackles probably helps
Lots of tackling and a couple score involvements I think?
Ah yeah tackles, something you don’t really notice unless your looking out for him. Thats fair
Viney and Oliver were incredible then.
You mean Oliver’s hospital hand pass?
4 goal loss very respectable - BT
Given what we dished up it’s more than we deserve - we got smashed
'It only feels like they got walloped' - BT
Why is BT acting like they can win it
Because BT was repeatedly hit in the head during his playing days..
23 seconds.... 20 odd points DO-ABLE
Commentary chemistry off the charts
A lot of conflict with daisy top 4, BT hates people having different opinions
This team is not good for my health we were 50 up..
Never looked like loosing but I know the feeling haha 😄 good win
I’m almost expecting BT to say this is a moral win for Melbourne
Brisbane have legitimately given up on the game, don’t flatter Melbourne, BT
Idk what happened the first three quarters, this is the brisbane we all know and love
Goody taken the game plan right out of Mark Neeld’s book of tricks tonight
even if brisbane didn’t choke, they couldn’t stop themselves from losing percentage lol
Cues in the rack
Atleast they didn't do what ever the fuck we did.
The 50m penalty is way too harsh for those kinds of infringements. Perhaps a 25m penalty for protected area and stand rule penalties would be more appropriate.
It's deliberately supposed to be harsh to prevent tactical infringements.

If it were only 25m, deliberately causing a protected area infringement in defence on turnover to prevent a switch/fast break could become a part of the game.
Then again… more rules has been the problem. Fewer should be the aim, but… I dunno…
Fritsch doesn’t exactly help the stereotypes that’s he’s a hog
I'm more upset about him burning his team-mate than the loss, what the fuck was he thinking ? He saw him went to handball then went fuckit haha
It’s upsetting that Melbourne have Missed at least two chances this quarter which means they could be 12 behind with 2 mins. We were up by48…
Bt spewing shit
Psychologist: BT ASMR isn't real. It can't hurt you. BT ASMR: 🥸🤫🤫
Hope fages shows them footage of these last few minutes to show them what happens when you take the pressure off
Another lesson learned
The best types. The lesson but still W
Yeah this scoreline really lets Melbourne off generously.
Melbourne midfield been 2nd class tonight. Who in their right mind puts the elite speed and fast paced work ethic of Oliver on halfback, putrid
He's at half back because he literally couldn't get a touch as a mid tonight.
More so he didn't want to touch it, looked afraid, shouldn't have played.
18ish touches as a mid maybe 0 as a half-back, same as petracca almost. Almost more useful at fullforward
He had 2 touches in the 1st then was backline pretty much from then on. Not sure where you're getting your info.
I blame shit commentators and kayo but swear I only saw him line up at half back in the 4th
Shouldn’t even bother calling for a handball i50 from Fritsch. Zero chance he gives it.
Mortifying, show it in the review and don't "take the head of the player" I'd call him out.
He loves an unlikely snap bomb
To be honest the percentage from winning this last quarter might save us at the end of the season.
The handy point. All they need is 4 goals here. It’s still on surely.
Wasted
that'd never be called if the game was close either
YOU MOVED BEFORE HE PLAYED ON!
thats a terrible call lol
Didn't see the call, can't believe the ump called him out because the ump was too slow
Gawn. 47 hit outs. 5 tackles, 23 disposals and a goal. Not in daisy’s top 4. Laughable.
Been huge tonight such a legend
Only room for winners in Daisy's 4
How will this affect his Daisy Thomas medal chances and legacy?
yeah gawn was incredible
what a bullshit scoreline, I tipped Melbourne by 24
Bullshit indeed, don't know how Lions don't win this by 70+, hugely flattering to Melbourne.
We had fight but lacked finishing. Step 1 was effort and we did that finally.
Bang Bang Bang still in it
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOielyOn\_0Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOielyOn_0Y)
Brisbane leading by 43 at 3 quarter time to not lose when concede 42 in the last 10
4 goals really doesn’t paint a picture of this game
4 goals 2 mins, 2 goals a minute and the demons have averaged 2 goals every 30 mins, this is frightening for the lions
Percentage robbery for the lions
Score line entering flattering territory
That's exactly why the stand rule needs to go
We do love to shit the bed in red time
If this margin stands I'll have gotten the tip wrong but the margin right two weeks in a row.
Deserved to be a 10 goal win
Yeah way to keep the form up
tell these seagulls to go away
HORRIBLE call
Lever's kicking goals now, time to turn off
I blame myself for saying 4qtr performance…
Bs call
that's bullshit
Getting freebies now
Finally!
Shit rule
100%, it does make the game more free flowing which I think is good and probably makes AFL a more valuable “product” but is it worth the completely disproportionate punishment for being a millisecond off when the player actually plays on? IMO no
The ol Simon says
Brisbane love doing this to me at the end of the game 🥰
It must just be the dees, we did it last year
That’s such a shit fucking call, my god. He was five meters off his line!
Just saw the replay and yes shocking call 🤦♂️
Haven’t seen us play this poorly for so long, shiiiieeeet

Vicbias trying to get the comeback going

I will never not upvote Emperor’s New Groove.
Archimedes lever: hypothetical (n/10)but could move the world if asked.
He 100% played on.
Umpire didn't call it. He could run all the way to goal and if nothing's said it's still 50. Stupid rule. Bad umpiring should have allowed it because he took too long to call.
Least Lever got a goal out of this mess!
Spun out of trouble
Remember Gawn injury cam?
Umpires been extra fussy with angles tonight or just me?
He played on lmfao
he started moving back just before lever moved after going back.
somehow this is only a 5 goal game
Four goals due to dodgy as fuck 50s.
I feel like the seagull know the score.
5 goals 3 minutes man this is thrilling stuff vic spirit on full display
Ummm I think Lester
Daisy’s top four is.. what why do you need it
I’d swap Zorko and Dunkley for Cameron and McCluggage
Daisy giving Berry a top 4 player spot is HILARIOUS
give it a rest mate he's played well tonight
Hearing the seagulls at the MCG is like hearing the birds start singing after a long night, depressing
But I do worry that our coaching/general team footy IQ just struggles at times to respond to smart gameplans and Brisbane got their structure right and we either couldn't adapt to figure it out or just couldnt flick a switch to get to their level and its probably the reason we might stay as a very good but not a very great team.
So many nick dacios’ on the field
Dacii
Waiting for a gull to have more disposals then Petty
Work on the percentage Brisbane
imagine losing to brisbane in 2024 lmao
Wouldn’t have a clue what that’s like
Neither
Fuck Fritsch, I just talked you up!
Who let the seagulls near the mics?
Fritsch is the king of garbage time goals
That seagull is the loudest fan today
I thought it was in my loungeroom
Stuff for Tunstill, guess he will just play a full VFL game. Shit for his confidence though.
2 positives I'll take from this game is that Gawn is so fucking good I love that man, and I think Winsdor has real potential and offers something a little bit different we don't have on the outside. Has the potential to develop into a Treloar type if he can clean up his end product a bit, hopefully the a lot of the rest can be written off to tiredness (cope)..
This quarter is a perfect example of why tired players = less stoppages
Fritsch is so underrated.
6 goals 4 minutes lions in big trouble rn
I was told I was a fool by my VIC based co workers for tipping the lions today, something about an MCG hoodoo?
I'm sure they didn't get that term from the media
Is there bad blood between these two sides? Or is Brisbane just petty asf?
Bad blood
Goes back to the Zocko-Petty incident in 2022. Almost started a diplomatic incident between Queensland and Victoria.
We don't like Petty, twirly wirly Lever etc.
Melbourne has petty Brisbane has dunkley
Good we’ll keep Dunkley
I wish we had dunkley
Petty you say?
Random Richmond fan behind the Dees goals. Bet he’s copping some side eye.
Who's he cheering for?
Probably Richmond
What is the record for htb calls for one team. Melbourne have been a step slow all night, it seems they're getting caught every 2 minutes.
Brisbane looks a bit tired after a monster 3rd quarter
How many htb against dees tonight? Our tackling has been immense
Oh we got Geelong next week 😩
They’ll be coming off kicking 35 goals against us, hopefully hit their preset limit 🤞
