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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
