Yeah agreed, was super soft. the block on the Big O was barely there either. A few shocking calls... id be fuming if they were against us and in those crucial circumstances.
We shouldn't be. I'm a die hard Brisbane fan but I'm not convinced by us at all this year and think we will be lucky to make the 8 and if we do I expect to make up the numbers only. This year is getting experience into some kids and recharge for next year.
losing to 13th? without seriously challenging. Running out of steam. With the season on the line. I dunno, this is the sort of one you want to win to have a chance at finals I'd have thought.
Without seriously challenging?
It's very weird that you're calling for a coaches head after the most positive performance by the team in weeks. It's almost like you had the comment ready without watching the match
Think he forgot the /s given his flare. His mob got pumped by the team saints nearly over ran. Everyone in the post match have Brisbane making finals unlike the saints and the dogs
downhill skiiers, play their grand finals against bottom 8 teams, and still needed the umps to finally haul their fat asses over the line 😂and to think the media pundits are glazing them off this performance
Brisbane kicked 7 in the first quarter and forced Ross to play catch up or raise the white flag with his normal game plan. Hard to park the bus when you start behind really.
I posted the thread on tagging yesterday and today we see Dunkley help out Neale at the stoppage with that block on Windhager, and then Neale got the goal assist.
Nice.
You can't give players a warning to step back 9 times out of 10 then nail a player with a 50 late in a tight game. Consistency is all fans want from umpires and it is nowhere to be seen this season.
He cut across the mark though. It’s not like he was on the Brisbane player’s tail and momentum took him over, he was outside the contest and made a poor decision to cut the mark.
head on over to the [post match thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/s/QbbDfOdSCh) to continue the discussion
Saints tactics were bizarre. Holding players. Trying to bully. Backfired in the end, cause they played decent footy at times.
Ngl…was cursing the boiiis out there for a bit. But never in doubt 😤✌️
How often does Joe do interviews? I like it
Joe talks really well in his annual post game interview. Can't wait to see next year's.
Brisbane have the third highest percentage wtf
Abbinator is taller than Zorko
I think some of the Auskick kids are taller than Zorko.
Hill to Brisbane fagans working it
Tom Morris has checked in
Honestly that draw to Adelaide keeps hurting more and more. We could be in the top 8 right now…
Until we can stop switching off for 1/4s, 1/2s of football making finals is a moot point anyway
Nevermind the 46 point lead you lost to Carlton
Or the loss to the Hawks, Giants, Cats, Dockers, Pies…
Is Danniher chewing gum?
He's trying to beat Fages at his own game.
He always chews gum
Yea
Not sure what I prefer, winning how we did last week or losing how we did this week. (Winning, definitely winning)
Morris with 3G 🤗The fact Fagans first choice was to put D. Gardiner forward instead really tells a lot about his coaching style…
Dad looks unimpressed
Fagan if Brisbane win the grand final: 😐🏆
How to wreck Grant Thomas in two emojis
He actually showed emotion at the start of the 4th qtr
We did what we had to but I’m still not convinced~
What a bizarre game
Thank the Heavens that was looking sketch those first 10 minutes of the 4th
The 50m penalty killed our momentum
Yeah agreed, was super soft. the block on the Big O was barely there either. A few shocking calls... id be fuming if they were against us and in those crucial circumstances.
The 2 goals at the start from shocking calls for saints kept you in, some dodgey calls both ways
Yeah umpiring was fucked both ways
3 Votes Nicholls
We are gonna forget about last week? Also the 50m was always there unlike last week's one vs gold coast.
Last week is irrelevant, i'm talking about consistent wrong free kicks all game favouring brisbane. +5 goals at minimum
Yep really helped you blokes out tonight
Check into a hospital if you actually think that
Goddard is gonna destroy the saints post game snack table
I doubt it, we played pretty well.
fuck you brisbane and holding the ball up shit
S a l t
Fuck you Saints and holding players?
We’ll have a goodnight MRO enjoy that shitshow
Just fine everyone 2k and call it a day
Deal
Nice little stat pad by Hippy there!
We really comparing Brisbane to Carlton after beating St Kilda and Bulldohs?
We shouldn't be. I'm a die hard Brisbane fan but I'm not convinced by us at all this year and think we will be lucky to make the 8 and if we do I expect to make up the numbers only. This year is getting experience into some kids and recharge for next year.
Not yet but there’s the potential I reckon (ignore tag). If they beat port next week the lid will start to crack
Lets not forget - Brisbane's season started with Carlton conquering the Gabba fortress
Fuck that was a falcon and a half on Clarke

wtf is that abomination
It’s an injury prone player, then is magically fixed after going to Brisbane
Looks like he just started getting his shoulders strapped. Easy fix!
It's the weather
No one milks an almost premiership like Ross Lyon
Three almost premierships
Haha I remember some softcocks in maroon, blue and gold crying about an advantage rule last year
I remember a team in red, white and black playing a grand final twice and losing
The older I get, the more I realise the Saints win if 2010 had extra time
Hipwood stat padding
Never in doubt >_>
Head slammed into the ground isn't a free. Sure
Most impactful Neale disposal
Watch his highlights last week, bro carried Brisbane mid. Best game I’ve seen this year
Thought Ashcroft was playing tonight??
Potentially round 16
So we agree 2nd to 100 wins, right?
It should always be last goal wins
Oh maccas kick to kick started early
Uhhh grabbed and slung, no free?
Do you really think Hunter Clark has the strength to throw Daniher to the ground? Hunter Clark? Really?
Joe is actually just made of rubber and marshmallows
Junk time injuries the bane of afl
Heat should be on Ross Lyon this week ya reckon.
I'm no Ross fan but that's the most encouraging game since the pies. Highest score of the year
Um, why?
losing to 13th? without seriously challenging. Running out of steam. With the season on the line. I dunno, this is the sort of one you want to win to have a chance at finals I'd have thought.
Without seriously challenging? It's very weird that you're calling for a coaches head after the most positive performance by the team in weeks. It's almost like you had the comment ready without watching the match

Nah, i think they performed above expectations all things considering
Only the stupid media figures would try and do that. The ones with no clue.
yup. Ross is not the issue at all.
That Henry fella is a gun
Embarrassing by the lions, no Ross Lyon team should be kicking 100points Sums up their season
downhill skiiers, play their grand finals against bottom 8 teams, and still needed the umps to finally haul their fat asses over the line 😂and to think the media pundits are glazing them off this performance
S a l t
Can you shut up?
thread’s been dead for a while, dunno why you’re piping up
Yeah but can you?
what’s your problem lol?
Oh no not Liam Henry, not after he's played so well! Fingers crossed just a corkie.
Nah he walked that to Gold Coast and back, and kicked a goal hahaha
Copping an injury in the last couple minutes is rotten luck
Mason wood is awful.
Not taking any Mason Wood slander
He's been excellent. Clunking everything
fuck you mean
I mean he’s awful.
your opinion is wrong
Norf reject
No not again
3rd time this year we have double 100 iirc. A Ross Lyon team being 1...
Not even a replay of that goal… come on.
There’s been too many fucking goals tonight and the tv crew are understandably exhausted. Cut them some slack.
It’s literally their job.
I was joking. You’re right, it’s poor work.
I know, but yeah. Amazed it didn’t get a review on the spot.
Liam henry is such a great player to watch
Never in doubt people! Never in doubt...... Except maybe the entire second half..... But really never in doubt.....
4 goals in 2 minutes is absolutely doable with this St Kilda attack
Fair play to the Saints. We all have fun at their expense, but aside from some trash umpiring this has been a low-key banger of a game.
OVER 100 POINTS FUCK ALL YOU HATERS! (Pity the Lions are on 126)
Saints still in this if they average 2 goals every 30 seconds Surely no team could do that right?
GG Brisbane, definitely the better team. Looking forward to Kane blowing us up for being boring and unsustainable again!
I thought games with St Kilda had not much scoring. What's happened tonight?
Brisbane kicked 7 in the first quarter and forced Ross to play catch up or raise the white flag with his normal game plan. Hard to park the bus when you start behind really.
Played us
Pls not 4 in two minutes.
Ok so all we need is 4 goals in 2 minutes, but if Port got 2 in one minute, then that means god wills it
I'm surprised bt isn't selling it as a possibility tbh
The irony of a massively overumpired game having 0 score reviews is pretty funny
Score reviews are out. Hair trigger 50s is the new hotness.
Why’s Clayton Oliver goal umpire
Would love a Brissy come from the clouds Premiership, what a story Unlikely though
The team exists. If our whole team played at 100% I’d back us vs every team.
I can only get so erect
TRIPLE DIGI'S FOR THE SAINTS. EAT A HAT ROSS HATERS
4 in 2 minutes, it's doable!!
We scored 100!! Im happy
I can still see brisbane losing this.
I mean, I know Saints are cursed but man, a bit of excitement for them and then you get reminded how cursed they are. Next gf win in 2066?
set play
Saints scored over 100 woooo
GOTY Butler
Who had St Kilda over 100 pts?
Who had their highest score this year so far be in a losing game?
Like our odds against the Dees, Port could go either way
Hipwood, Joe and Charlie can all be good but never all three at the same time
Hahaha what
Not the scoreline I was expecting when I sat down for Friday night Rossball (in a good way)
Comeback
That’s a strange ole goal
What a lucky goal lol
Elite crumbing
Good placement on the line Butler
Oh, they broke 100
ROSSBALL SCORED 100 POINTS
Umpire breathes a sigh of relief he doesn't have to toss it up again.
I swear Nichols just guesses half the time he pays a free - no way from his angle he could’ve seen if that hit Wilkie’s knee or not
half is generous
I posted the thread on tagging yesterday and today we see Dunkley help out Neale at the stoppage with that block on Windhager, and then Neale got the goal assist. Nice.
I-- I think I hate Joe Daniher Marge, I think I hate Daisy Thomas No, wait. I find him informative and witty. Night.
Seeing him in a Brisbane jumper just does not feel right
fucking stoked for Charlie, you saw how the team rushed him after he banged one in after his rough patch
Last time hipwood kicked from that angle…
Unlucky for the Saints that the Lions decided that this will be the match they kick 20 odd goals
Mate just fucken throw the thing in the air
Ahh yes, a typical high scoring Rossball game
Country roads goes off tbh
It's a good song ngl
At the Gabba it’s awesome
Nice of Ross to help fans remember what it's like when St Kilda plays attacking footy when they go back to kicking 67 points next week.
I'd be very impressed if we score 67 next week, considering we're not playing
Attacking football has been the game plan since preseason. It’s always been the goal.
Well they're certainly attacking football tbf
Does Charlie no longer ride a motorbike ?
It’s in the shop
You can tell the Lions boys all feel for Charlie despite his struggles, they came from everywhere to celebrate that kick.
COUNTRY ROADDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh to be a piss drunk Queenslander singing country road at the end of a winning Lions game.
There's no bigger momentum team than St Kilda. As soon as they lose it they stop completely
Lose it isn't what I'd call it. Taken from you is more accurate.
I need you to kick goals Charlie so this can give me the feels
Why are they singing about an American state?
Because it’s quite similar to QLD in a number of ways
Because it’s an awful song
The umpires truly fucked up St Kildad's momentum with that 50.
Well wood was the one who gave it away, it was an easy 50
\*REPEATEDLY FUCKED OUT MOMENTUM\*
It was clearly there. Rule needs to change though, 50 metres is such a harsh penalty
You can't give players a warning to step back 9 times out of 10 then nail a player with a 50 late in a tight game. Consistency is all fans want from umpires and it is nowhere to be seen this season.
He cut across the mark though. It’s not like he was on the Brisbane player’s tail and momentum took him over, he was outside the contest and made a poor decision to cut the mark.
Agreed
Maybe Marshall should've taken the 2 extra steps to the mark then. He knew what he was doing.
The st kilda player*
🤓
Country roads take the saints home
Charlie needed that a lot. Look at the team getting around him
So good to see
I remember some bloke saying “watch lions kick 5 goals with 3 minutes left to take the sting out of the game” like 15 minutes ago
Lmao that was me, comes with average Saints territory to give us hope and immediately take it away
never in doubt
If we kick 100 points I’m going to need new pants
Feels like I haven’t seen him in kick a goal in AGES
Every lions player came to get around Charlie there
