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.

WC are flat track bullies. Would love to play them in a Granny at the G.

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.

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

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!

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,304]

Regardless of the consequences to MFC, I was very glad to see the filth lose. I hate the filth.

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!

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.

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?

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. 

But he came back too early last year

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

Fantastic round of footy so far.

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

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

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