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.

    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.

    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?

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
