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. 

I saw this on fox during the game too. 

He probably wanted to stay alive

Take the rest of the year off and have one last roll of the dice next season.

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

[danielE288 779]

 

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.

a brain within a brain......sounds very russian to me 

[Fork 'em 7,008]

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..

Now even the sad-sack "this only happens to us" [censored] is falling our way!

GO DEMONS!!

[brendan 3,439]

Every goal is reviewed so they would have picked up on it surely

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 

[Fork 'em 7,008]

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

 

[brendan 3,439]

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.

[danielE288 779]

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

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

The bails didn't fall off. The goal stands.

Well I've again reviewed the video tape.
As it only looks like it hit the post in the slow mo replay I reckon Daisycutter's on the money.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,166]

Given that none of the feral crowd, players or umpires picked up on it, I'm going with it being an optical illusion.

Yep it looks strange the slow mo, but the camera behind the goals shows it's a clear goal no way it hit the post 

[beelzebub 23,384]

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

[beelzebub 23,384]

Any training today ?

[Lucifers Hero 40,426]

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!
