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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
