Anyone see the Jenkins point given a goal and cleared by score review.

The AFL have also cleared it.

Joke...

Hinkley is rightfully fuming over this one.

You can clearly see the ball spin change and direction change as soon as it hits the post...

Wow, it was just on then.....you can clearly see the shadow on the post come closer....

Actually it’s a bit less conceivable than I thought. West Coast are two games ahead of us, I thought they were only one. Obviously my scenario had us beating them (and therefore passing them) but they’d need to drop one of their other games as well to not still finish 2nd. Given their other games are Freo, Port and Brisbane that seems a long shot.

They have Port next week in Port, I reckon they will lose (WC)

It's actually fairly likely now, not just a possibility

Hawks, Geelong, North could all easily finish on 14

We need Geelong you lose to Hawthorn or North to lose to Adelaide

It's crucial that Hawthorn beat Geelong

With us beating Suns (and one more) and Hawks beating Geelong and then Hawks, North and getting all winning remaining games we finish 8th. 

If we beat Suns (and one other) but Geelong  beats Hawks and same other results we finish 9th  

In summary of Geelong beats Hawks we need to win 3 more to make finals assuming other results go as favorites.

Actually scratch that. In that above scenario Swans could beat Hawthorn and we finish 8th and Hawks 9th. 

No more ladder predictions. Let's just win.

Foot injuries in a running game. 

September is up 15-20%

Well then, obviously he should retire.  

MFCSS - lose another “thriller” tomorrow- win last three.

Ive said it before but......in Formula 1 you can see the rubber coming off car tyres at 300kmh.......if your gonna have a score review, get separate high def cameras on the friggin goal posts!!! Its not rocket science surely....Seriously its a billion dollar industry.....do we have to pass the hat around for you afl and buy some cameras?

Having said that.....suck it up Port!

He may have no choice, any game Viney plays from now on, will be a bonus, in my opinion

It's not clear, though, and that's the problem.

It's just not clear enough whether it hit the post or not. The goal umpire said it didn't and without obvious evidence that it did, he was in the best position of anyone to call it.

The lesson to be learnt, yet again, is that the technology needs to be miles better than the sub-standard and inconsistent garbage that the AFL masquerades as a review system.

But never mind that, let's get huge goal squares and 6-6-6 in because the game is in dire straits!

Was so happy to see Alex Johnson get through the game, just great to see him playing again after all he has gone through.

Had a good game too I thought.

It’s not even his foot it’s a toe.

Exactly, why are some supporters retiring him off because of a sore toe? Alex Johnson had 5 knee recos and didnt retire!

Great

Great.

Never heard of a player retiring from a hot spot of the toe, let alone one as determined as Jack Viney. But what would the medicos know? They should consult us witch doctors, hey?

Just now, sisso said:

Why so negative about his prospects?

He has had the problem too long, came back juiced up too early last year.

I am sure our medicos are doing everything they can.

So you think he may play only one more game as a result?

Not good but doesn't sound career threatening yet, if it was the media vultures (Barrett, McClure etc) would be all over it....that said i wouldn't rush him back this year

Tough luck Port. I don’t recall Hinkley complaining about the unjustness of it all when the maggots gifted them the game against us.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
