Geez if I was that dees supporter in the middle I would have been screaming and yelling my lungs out all with a massive smile on my dial.

    For every Steve Bradbury in sport, there are lots of deserving Brayshaws.

    Ted, are you aware of Bradbury's run of bad luck for the previous 2 Olympics?

    Monday wingers ringing SEN are saying Olivers goal hit the post. Was anyone who was there anywhere near the goals?

    Yeah, KB saying it hit the post twice ?? So it's not in his mind goal of the week .... WTF

    watching the game on Tv and hearing commentary there was no suggestion that it clipped the post 

    me thinks sour grapes from tigerland

    Heard this from a couple of people, watched it on youtube multiple times and I think it actually did clip the post, impossible to tell in real time though.

    Yes its where the review system breaks down. Nobody asked for a review (not that it would be any clearer) so it stands. Lets face it, Clarry is too fast for everybody.

    Yes, I am. I am referring to the thing that Bradbury is best known for.

    Looked to me like it clipped the near post.
    Watched it a couple times since and didn't change my opinion.
    Judging by Clarrys reaction he had no doubt he'd just kicked a rippa..

    Melbourne player with goal of the week ??? No that doesn't sound right ? Let's instead just drool over another Eddie betts goal, or show Monday love for Joel Selwood again wearing a headband  (cue gerard Whateley) , or downplay Cotchins jumper punch , or lament Cyril's bad luck at that knee in the back that went wrong... media are so predictable

    Who cares anyway, we've had the raw end of so many dodgy decisions and non decisions over the years.

    there is one footage (front on) where the ball seems to change direction round about the time it passes the right hand goal post. i wondered whether it might have been a video artifact, like the video had a stutter. if it did clip the inside of right hand post then it would be hard to explain how it then continued to the right of the left hand post, given the angle of the kick.

    given no-one claimed it clipped the goal post at the time i'm inclined to think it was a visual trick as the ball revolution altered (due to the banana effect) or that part of the video had a technical artifact event

    Thats a good explanation.

    I think the clip returns to closer to real time as the ball passes the near post, as it speeds up. You can also see the change in speed in the reactions and movements of the fans in the stand. Clean goal for me.

    Entirely plausible given the lack of onfield protest, but until proven I'm guessing it clipped the post and nobody noticed.

  • Quote

    Gee, no one reacted.

    Not a single real time query.

    Goal ump quickly signals goal.

    Field umpire ...nuttin

    Simply was a goal. A brilliant snap..

    As to all the sore losers and whingers ...lolololololol

    If anything I thought his right boot was over the line when he kicked it. 

    Oliver's left foot is on the line and his right boot appears to take a divot on the outside of the line just before kicking.

    Impossible to tell tho' where the ball was at the point of impact. 

    Benefit of the doubt to Clarrie

     

     

    As an aside, don't all goals get reviewed before the next bounce anyway?  No complaints from the upstairs umpire.

    Clarrie's goal!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
