    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

    Any training today ?

    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!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
