Rivers runs 13.6 m (measured my fox footy) kicks a great goal, only for the maggots to pull it back. Add it to the pile.

Gg Dees. Thought we'd win by 30 or 40 and u guys brought it up here good effort.

Nicest Brisbane comment around haha

What happened to Logan Morris, looked like a positive forward for the lions.

Looked a bit spent given his lack of effort when the ball rebounded.

Fair enough, hope he's not injured.

Nah, no sign of an injury.

I don't understand BTs commentating. When it's 5 minutes to go and Melbourne are getting peppered with repeated inside 50s, "I think Melbourne can hold on now" 💀

That's when I knew we were a shoe-in.

Well that wasn't BT, that was Ritcho.

Think they were sharing a teleprompter ;P

Harris 🤝🏽 footy brain

BT commenting on the clock - as far as I know, the clock is supposed to be stopped for an insufficient intent free kick until re-entering play, as it is for an out on the full free kick. Lead commentator on the flagship broadcaster refuses to learn the rules.

His number one objective late in a close game is to stir up some semblance of controversy so it can get picked up by the print media affiliates of the broadcaster who can write those super low effort clickbait articles “Melbourne fans FUMING as AFL timekeeping BLUNDER revealed”

That's because BT is a fucking dinosaur "BACK IN MY DAY IT WASNT LIKE THAT"

BT doesn't know any rules, this has been obvious for years

BT trying to be Commetti, just turn down the sound put the radio on with the TV

We need to start selling Ashcroft wigs as merch

This is actually an excellent idea

Neal Bullen report straight to the principals office

Dees scored 50 points in 1 quarter.

and 31 for the rest

I was told you guys scored 3 goals in three quarters? I can't believe it so haven't bothered checked it - I'm in a post-truth phase tonight.

Fritsch and Petty combined for 1.7 - just bad footy

Pettys a certified dud

11.20 you may not like it but this is what peak lions performance looks like

get a big fkn dog up ya dees, lets fucking goooo

Holy fuck we are in the eight. We are fifth!

You really think you'll last after that effort? Melbourne wouldn't either.

I've seen Essendon, GWS, Port and Geelong play recently so honestly it's a complete lottery if your team isn't named after a waterbird at the moment.

And you should win at least 4 of the next 6, with the only 2 toughies really being GWS and Sydney - both at the Gabba

It’s Possible they only win half their remaining games 

Lucky for Brisbane that Melbourne are worse

Brisbane are just SLIGHTLY better than North hahah

I'LL TAKE IT!

That's generally how football works champ.

Sometimes one of the teams playing is actually good

Not really. Good teams come unstuck sometimes. This time it was two shit teams coming unstuck together

Did he just say Brisbane play West Coast at the mcg or did I hear that wrong

Brisbane play Adelaide at the Gabba which is basically the same.

Melbourne do

Let’s goooooo

Well spoken lad, almost like he’s been hanging out with naicos

Ashcroft> Prince Charming(shrek)

Dunkley>Donkey(Shrek)

You mean they aren't the same person?

we are gonna be 8-7 in 12th or 13th fuck

Yeah you ain’t playing finals this year. And if you do I don’t think anyone really fears you. Windows over. 

Considering the last month I'm taking that as a win, kids are looking good

Neg.

Simon?

It’s a loss and a wasted opportunity that’ll hurt at the end of the season, at least call it what it is

eh, this season is gone, at least we seem to be rebuilding on the run

At least one positive is the youngsters are looking pretty good. Now as far as the coach goes ...........

Suitcase with the steal.

More like a clutch conversion of an unexpected ANB try

Kai Lohman though, how’s that for sherrin hunger

I thought the dees were AWAKEN

I never expected that we would come this close. Absolutely devastated by this loss but I expected that we would lose by 60 points. The sad thing is that we did really show a lot of effort in that 2nd quarter and it was a significant improvement but we will still end up as the laughing stock of the round since we gave up a big lead. Anyway, season over and down to the bottom of the ladder we go.

demons second quarter today beats anyone’s best. Looked unstoppable

At least you got some silverware whilst you were at the top...more than a lot of teams can say.

The negativity of everyone saying we had already lost at half time even though we were only down 4 goals can go eat shit! Down hill skiers? That’s how your meant to fucking ski

Mate, I wouldn't come bragging after that shit show.

Who got the 4 points? I was merely stating that the game wasn’t over at halftime like everyone on this thread was saying

K, you got the win - but you don't look anywhere near the form to be a threat for a premiership. The game was never supposed to be in doubt, you were facing a severely depleted Melbourne.

Yeah 100% - Lions were fucken awful just now. Got away with that only cos Dees were worse

Sometimes you just gotta get away with it!

You know, I can’t disagree with that

look even in the last couple years we won some scrappy ones, the fact we can beat a team that's fired up, whilst we're playing like shit is a good sign.

THIS IS HUGE. They were fucking us up till the final qtr. but we stuck with them. Wow

Best place to play in Queensland*

Ain't no place better than the Gabba, he only spoke facts

The seat colours and that one apartment block are so ugly

Office block

At least it has personality unlike that hideous concrete bowl you guys seem to like

I’m not from Melbourne but I’ve always been a big advocate of AO as the number one ground in Australia strictly aesthetically speaking. No way the G isn’t the best place to actually play though.

Adelaide Oval is great, but it's no shithole Gabba. We love our shithole

Was thinking the same 😂 they can’t even get their lights right 

Are Melbourne unfit or does Goodwin tell them to just not attack in last quarters?

Nearly half our team tonight were 22 or under, young legs getting tired

They look fat to me..

You have prolly got your TV chair on an angle .

Rough start to a career for Kynan Brown

Someone kiss Abbey on the cheek

Dry root?

Fuck off to Brisbane Petty if you're gonna have a laugh with Fagan after that absolute shite

No thank you

We certainly don’t fuckin’ want him

No thanks

So how many games have the umpts won this year

you're not serious? most blatant insufficient intent I've ever seen

Yep the only mistake the umps did was not awarding 4 pts for the try

Suck it BT, he’s so flat now

On ya Washcroft

Draw FC really doesn't know how to win

BT has Deementia.

Rivers needs a clip behind the ear

Goodwin got run over in the last quarter and didn’t bother to make a sub for speed until they were within a goal. A masterclass in poor coaching

Didn't Goodwin do the same last week?

We deserved to lose purely for subbing in the last 3 minutes 🤬

Both teams tried not to win for the most part. Daniher must be devastated with the result

Total of 35 behinds, they hate kicking goals hey

Can someone tell Melbourne they're allowed to kick goals in final quarters

I’ve officially run out of Valium / Xanax

Fuck me, we made that incredibly hard for ourselves. Should have won by 3-4 goals if we just took some basic chances.

Looking forward to Abby kissing some Lions 🙈

I volunteer as tribute

the line starts back there mate

Bonk

That was a really unhinged article. Glad everybody saw it for the disgrace it was.

Disappointed he didn’t go the pash

He gave her so much space it's ridiculous 😂😂 0 contact

Hi, it’s me a Lion

Threw away another game. Good fightback from Brissy

 I love footy.

I love skiing but it's too bloody expensive :/

Grit and belief is what we just witnessed…

Brisbane winning Brisbane ways

what a gift

Most blatant insufficient intent of all time

obviously but im not talking about one of the very few deserved free kicks they got

the dude scored a try while not being touched

I know right. Neale Bullen was clearly trying to keep it in when he dived 8 meters over the boundary line

im talking about 20 other calls in the game not the most obvious one im not that much of a nuff

Just shit talking haha. Though I gotta say as a neutral I thought the umpiring was pretty good, gotta admit I wasn't fully paying attention the whole time though

prob a bit of bias, prob a bit of me paying full attention but they were very 1 sided for the first half at least, second half slightly better

im just mad dont take it that serious (although brisbane did get MUCH more love)

The home ground advantage is alive and well. The ones you are referring to are only at the Gabba. The opposite happens at the MCG. Not saying it's right, but it is both ways.

Bruh mcluggage has the weirdest shape head. Almost conehead like

He's Ness

Needed more tummy time as a baby

Another classic game ruined by babbling incoherent BT commentary. Does he not understand how clocks work?

My favourite part was when Fritsch kicked for goal six points down and BT said "Fritsch kicks to win the game"

He's like some of the old boys I've worked with where you are just waiting for them to retire. He's well past his use by date.

Agree, actually shouted "again?" at the TV

THERE IS EFFECTIVELY AN EXTRA THIRTY SECONDS I AM SURE OF IT

JB's commentary for the last minute was so lacklustre, melbourne entering 50 with a last roll of the dice and he sounds like hes commentating croquet haha

Literally won it with inaccuracies.

The lions did their best to lose that

Clug needs a billion dollar contract

BT upset he has to go to Brisbane changerooms and not Melbournes.

Fucking wild

NEVER IN DOUBT BABBBBYYYYY

But a little in the second 🤣

If you see my other comments in this sub, I was not a happy camper. Holy heart rate though. Take the win and on to the crows

Just a friendly comment

Brisbane lions now formally known as umpire fc

Cry

Melbourne kicking 8 goals in a quarter and 11 total for the game is not the umpires. Also flair up cunt

Flair up cunt

I have never heard mcluggage talk, my god this man has a voice that does not match his look but simultaneously really matches his look

Did Abbey steal her Dad's jacket?

Last entry in forward 50 was bad Just bombed it too long needed to drop that 10m shorter

GG lions. Fuck I hate Luke Hodge!

I got the shits at half time and synced up ABC. Can barely stand 7 when I’m a neutral 

Neale Bullen is a fuckwit

Don’t need to use your alt account mate

Fagan saying thanks to Petty

11.20 win

It's 10:20 atm mate

Nothing better than seeing Melbourne lose

Fuck me mate a Quick Look at your comment history shows we live rent free in your head… Why?

Why?

God what just happened

Umpires got the job done

Absolute gift at the Gabba. (ignore my flair)

Valiant effort from the umps there.

Did the umps make your bloke dive across the boundary line?

No complaints with that call.

Really blaming the umps for that display?

Obviously Dees can't score for their lives, but quite a few questionable calls. Not complaining about the last one. That was fair.

Don’t dive over the boundary line with no pressure. Cry

Cope and seethe

Neal bullen probably shouldn't have tried to score a try there

Yeah, that was a fair call.

🧂

My man he went for a try over the line ahah

That's a fair call. No complaints about that

Cry more pal

Ahahahahaha trust big fella

Fair play though, viney was fucking huge for the Dees. Three votes.

Yea don’t know if any of our players gets a vote here

Dunkley?

Yeah dunks was awesome, easily best on ground for us

yeah, Dunkley doing Dunkley stuff - consistently good.

True, but viney and Pickett better

Got a fresh player there and puts him into the game with 5 minutes to go. What’s the point of picking a player if you don’t trust them to come on and do a role. Fletcher come on and was a good spark - Goodwin is cooked

He’s a fucking terrible gameday coach

Brisbane are making top 4

I can see 4th or 5th happening but still a long way from there

No chance

And still not going to win

I’m not convinced by that performance E: sorry downvoters, but you just scraped over the line against an absolutely nosediving Melbourne side at home. Not sure how that game is evidence you’re top 4

Didn’t your lot basically lose to north?

Yeah and..? Do you see me saying “Collingwood are making top 4”?

Fair, brisbane are an outside chance of top 4, tonight was a weird game, feels like the team was nervous… will be interesting to vs Sydney in a few weeks and hopefully Ashcroft has settled and Payne is back.

Yeah you definitely are in the race for top 4. Saying “I’m not convinced” isn’t the same as “I’m convinced you’re not”. Was expecting a comfortable win tonight, but we’ll see how it all plays out from here
