Spanked in free kicks again. I saw at least 3 not giving to Berger and plenty around the ground. Umpires continuously blew the tackle early every time we tackled a tiger player. Half the time they should of been holding the ball

Agree Strikes over the last couple of weeks I have been watching the effect of not being paid frees which we should have as well as dubious frees from Goals. On at least 4 occasions Brisbane should have had frees in or near the forward 50 and the ball went up the other end for goals. Also today 3 goals to Tigers as a result of dubious frees,
This free kick count against us is getting ridiculous. Berger gave 2 away for holding yet could not receive any himself despite at least 3 obvious holds.
Did not also know that the rule was changed to you could not block the third man up in ruck - that was paid twice to Richmond today.

Moloney and Clarke gone for the year

[Ringo]

Black will come back this week to replace Moloney and hopefully will stay fit for the rest of the season. Clarke will be hard to replace but rather than sending Sauce forward would leave him back and then see what Close can do forward with Paporone or Lisle. Maybe time for Voss to swallow his pride and try the Longer Berger combo for the last 3 games and see how it works. Minson in the next round will be the test.

[GoLions]

Just heard Voss is gone at the end of the year. Any confirmation on that?

[Ringo]

Heard that rumour to trying to confirm mate - I understand the Board were not making decision until after Brisbanes commitments were finished so would be surprised if it is true atm.

SEN Reporting it

[GoLions]

There is so much stuff on all the afl pages i follow on facebook. Including TripleM Footy fb page. Think it may be true.

Who would have thought when the two 1996 Brownlow medalists woke up this morning, Michael Voss would have been the one losing his job? #hird
3:44pm - 13 Aug 13

From twitter he has been sacked

[GoLions]

On AFL website now. I'm glad he's gone (although may depend on who the replacement is), but I'm quite shocked it's happened now, considering how well we've done since round 7 or so (whenever we beat the bombers).

[Vinny]

Yeah almost reported on every news website now. I think his done but also suprised at the timing.

Paul Roos, come on down?
