Final Goal Fiasco

Home viewers would not have been aware that Himmelberg kicked the last goal of the Tigers/Giants Prelim with 6 seconds remaining ,  reducing  the losing margin    to 6 goals .

Mysteriously  to particularly "Margin" punters (under or over 39 pts)  , the bottom left -hand corner score changed abruptly from 103/61 (42) to 103/67 (36) at the siren .

Ch 7 just wanted the colour and movement of huggers on the boundary and ecstatic supporters and literally took their camera eye off the ball .

 

 

I noticed. Unprofessional. I think the AFL and channel 7 are more interested in promoting themselves than a inconsequential goal.

Yes. As punter interested in that bet i noticed the same thing. Bizarre. I actually bet on Giants over 40 for the value (and the over the total match point, which was a winner) but considered the tigers over 40 as well but thought it was too short. So i was happy it snuck under.

Surely you cover the whole game. Right to the end.  

 

It unusual that the whole game wasn't covered but betting industry is irrelevant. i don't mind a bet but the last thing i want is for the AFL industry and broadcasters to make decisions with that in mind.

Hate the fact my club relies on pokies for revenue. The sooner all clubs drop them the better our kids will be, 

yES.....spot on. I to was interested in the scoreline and did notice the mark or free kick was awarded within range of scoring. I was desperately waiting for the camera to pan back for the kick. When it didnt i assumed Himmelberger didnt take the kick as it was a final and the scoreline could not effect the teams %. I actually threw the ticket away. I only noticed the scoreline when reading an article the next day! Luckily it was part of a multi and the other leg being Sydney Roosters failed to get up.

It was unprofessional of the TV coverage not to return to the action after the siren had sounded for whatever reason.

they could have easily windowed the kick for goal and still caught the other action. got the technology, use the technology

And did that explain the GWS song kicking in for a few seconds before Richmond's? Not sure if others noticed that?

Not necessarily , there is hope ... "The other cultural issue Goyder wants to wrestle with is AFL clubs, particularly in Victoria, being increasingly reliant on income from poker machines. He has been quoted saying that he “hates” the pokies and at Wesfarmers tried without success to introduce a $1 bet limit on the poker machines the group owns through its Coles liquor business.?

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
