[pitmaster 3,519]

Kane Cornes rediscovered his inner [censored] and declared Trac's final, crucial goal touched.

I normally approach score reviews with trepidation but I had no doubt last night we were OK on that one. The goal umpire was right on the spot.

Anyone agree with KC?

Am I paranoid thinking he just wants to have a dig against us?

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

I honestly can’t see the controversy. If it was touched it was clearly after it crossed the goal line. Clear goal, move on.

No, KC is  just trolling - typical click bait analysis.   I doubt half the time he agrees with what he says.  If it had been overturned given the goal umpire was standing right there and called it a goal - now that would be  a real controversy.  I haven't seen any evidence that it was touched before the line.

Goal umpire was in the perfect position to make call that ball was touched after crossing the goal line, so can't see the controversy.

Agreed.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Vote it goal of the year and really upset him. 

 

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Clearly touched after the line. Umpire in perfect position. Let the bitter flogs cry themselves to sleep. 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,806]

Last night's win was sweet revenge for all the close losses we have endured to St Kilda over the years and that goal was the icing on the cake.

Go suck my chocolate salty balls KC and Saints fans.

If they want to start complaining, that 50m penalty paid against us for the protected zone infringement was total BS and I thought they generally got the better of the holding the ball decisions that might have been there, but generally I think the game was actually fairly well umpired.

[CBDees 3,167]

Maybe if they had of awarded Trac the mark, he could have roosted it home in a manner that no one could get their hands near it. ?

This will be like Clarry's 2017 goal of the year contender at Adelaide Oval. The hint of doubt will sour it's chances. First question in the presser, what? Surprised they even went upstairs.

Goodwin's self control at that point was quite admirable.

[GCDee 3,199]

Tom Morris and Kane cornes are the only flogs that had anything to say on the matter. They are just chasing more ****ty headlines. They should be talking about the play, CP took a mark (another one not paid) and beat 3 saints defenders on his own in amazing display of strength.

[Melb-A-Toast 257]

The third umpire stated that it was clearly touched but could clear declare that it was touched before or after the goal line. 

From the angles I saw on the TV, it was pretty close, and the right call was made.

... next sensational story please...

[Sir Why You Little 37,008]

Was clearly touched over the line. 
Should have been paid a mark..

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Really nice to be on the right end of one of these. Think two went against us last week. 

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Hope it was touched, makes it even sweeter. 
Even if it was a point, Trac would’ve intercepted the kick in and kicked a goal anyway. 

Kane Cornes looks like chewed bubblegum.

As you say - " perfect position"

as opposed to Kane - sitting on the couch 2000km away with only 2 useless camera angles, neither of which was remotely useful.

I don't mind Cornes but this time he's a spud. " Gee, how can I get people talking about me today and remain relevant to my new-found media career?"

Ball was in the stands from what I saw.

[buck_nekkid 5,848]

It was a goal.  It went in the scorebook as a goal.

Kane:  “Scoreboard”!  G.F.Y.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I’m surprised this is generating any ongoing discussion.

The umpire was in the perfect position and called it a goal. The footage I saw suggested it was touched after the line too (from two different angles), despite it not being absolutely perfect goal line footage.

Why is there any controversy about this?

 

[FritschyBusiness 1,478]

100% touched, just not before the goal line

Kornes wants attention and he gets it by taking this stance. Absolute [censored]

[Demonland 71,653]

The only touched controversy with this goal should be whether it was touched before Trac marked the ball. 

 Clear mark in my book. 

 Goes back and kicks a regular goal. 

 The fact that Saints supporters and others like Cornes are upset only makes me hope it was touched before the line. 

 Pay back for all the other crappy decisions and non decisions that have not gone our way in my Footy lifetime.
