Just had a look at that "mark" of Yarran's again.
Quite apart from whether it was a mark or not....... (as Mick pointed out in the presser Brown took his legs), the action of Brown in grabbing his legs in mid-air was reckless and dangerous...and should have been at least a free kick.
Yarran could have been seriously hurt.

It was both a free kick AND a mark. He controlled the ball all the way to the ground, where the impact knocked the ball out. Same logic applied to the Robinson diving mark. Controlled it to the ground, where the impact knocked it out.

Marks every day of the year, except when there is a navy blue jumper playing brisbane on a saturday evening.

Bit harsh on Yazz Crash if you're mid air and someone swipes your legs you're entitled to try and prepare for the hit on the ground. Unfortunately the ball spilled out.

That Yarran decision has be playing on my mind since it happened

It was either a mark or a free kick.... but the umpire called play on.

Really makes me feel that there was some kind of umpiring agenda last night to keep Brisbane semi relevant - but that is just the raging Conspiracy theorist in me.

Should we be in a position where umpiring can cost us a game against the bottom side?

Normally, when a player is in the middle of a contract negotiation they play out of their backside to try and get the maximum pay increase they can.

Bryce Gibbs had 9 kicks, 9 handballs & 3 marks last night and I cannot remember one of them.

Am I the only one who didn't even think he played last night ??

Furthermore, I wouldn't be re-signing him now either, Free Agency at the end of the year IMO - goddam expensive passenger.

I just hope Malthouse has made the decision that this group of players have embarrassed this club for the last time.

I really don't care who gets traded or delisted at seasons end. All I am sure of is that there needs to be major changes made to the list.

I am sick of this group of players and people should cease making excuses for them. No more excuses, it's time for action.

Thank you, SpannerMan. Thank you.

To me last night's loss, as I have already said, was the worst under MMs tenure. Losing to the bottom side is beyond explanation or excuse. That loss had nothing to do with the weather, running out of legs, individual stuff-ups or umpiring - that is little stuff. That loss came down to culture/leadership and f*ck all else. The severe and embarrassing lack of culture & leadership. Big stuff like discipline, leadership, mongrel, accountability & effective aggott use seem to elude this group, consistently. We show glimpses of bona fide dominance - but so does just about every other f*cking club from time to time. Means f*ck all to be spasmodically brilliant. Ws & Ls is what it is about and what it takes to achieve that - with ruthless consistency and ruthless persistence.

I think MM now knows this which is why his media conference amounted to zero information.

Three goals up well into the last quarter against the bottom side, that's the reality folks.
A shocking performance.

Didn't see the game just the highlights. I personally would like to come to the defense of both Waite and Yarran. Both incidents hardly warranted a free kick let alone a 50.
