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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
