I would have thought the goal umpire was in the best position to make the call and not Cornes from his lounge room.

    It’s not as if the Goal Umpire was staring off into the Red Desert. 
     

    Perfect Position and Concentrating on the ball, but no Kane had a better view...

    Why is there no Media Attention to Tracc not being paid the Mark?

    Not one if them has mentioned that at all, that i have heard.

    anyone know if it has been raised?

    The bounce into goal was also pretty delightful. The joys of an oval ball, or as my dad would call it “Sherrin-dipity”.

    Even if it was judged a point there is no guarantee they would have got the next goal.  It would have been a kick-in instead of a centre bounce. 

    We defended the kick-ins very well.  They spent a lot of the game switching back and forth in our i50 so there is every chance we would have locked it in or kicked a goal ourselves and we still would have won.

    There was six minutes to go with any number of outcomes if it had been a point.  It wasn't.  We won.  End of story!

    Commentators saying we escaped with a lucky goal are being disingenuous.

    Indeed ... it would have brought about a completely different series of events. Who knows what that would have been.

    In any event, Petracca freakin marked the ball, or at the very least should have been awarded a free kick. (ALA free kick to Membrey awarded against Viney.)

    Kane Cornes . . . 

    • Doesn’t understand the laws of the game
    • Obsessed with his own image
    • Has a cross hanging in the background
    • Doesn’t watch the games he comments on
    • Contradicts himself every week
    • Vacuous, fatuous and asinine . . . sprouts out the last thought that crosses his mind
    • Complete and absolutely no idea of the 2020 game and the way it’s played
       

    What's that got to do with anything?

    I wonder how this conversation would have gone if it was overturned and called a point.

    We likely would have lost the game and then.......

    I wonder how this conversation would have gone if it had been a St Kilda player kicking the "goal" and a Melbourne player touched it. (With added touch of irony that Petracca could have easily been that St Kilda player)

    Laughingly this morning on SEN Kane Corness admitted the umpire was in a perfect psootion and then went on

                                            "...but from where I was sitting it looked touched to me..."

    From his couch in his Adelaide loungeroom.

    This has to win some sort of media quote award this year surely?

    Oh, how I miss Kevin Bartlett and his "Goose of the Week". Cornes would be like Meryl Streep and bore everyone stupid by winning it EVERY week.

    2 12yo kids with mobile phones taped to the goal posts could do better.

    AFL now 'fixes' the problem. Good stuff.

    Can't wait till we find out there was a missing pointpost at the Gabba this week after a would be winning point was given out of bounds.

    Disagree.

    Cornes was speaking to a Saints supporter on the phone, who was at the game and sitting in the forward pocket, side on to the goal line and she said it was touched.

    Not only that, but when Cornes saw it on TV, he was sitting in his lounge room,, side on to the goal line, so he had a great view.

    Lastly the goal umpire was also too close to the ball and the goal line and was distracted by the girl speaking to Cornes, who yelled out it was touched. 

    I think I have too much time on my hands, writing this rubbish, but it fits in well with some of the media comments on the issue.

    Please start writing fantasy novels you would be a winner with them.

    Oh and get Kane Cornes to do the launch and forward of your book!!!!

    Whole lot of  rubbish Drummed is because there was no camera.

    120 years of Footy goals have been judged by this way so big deal!!!

    Karma for Dees  after that  field umpire's decision in last minute of Lions loss !!!

    I say we deem it touched just to annoy all the saints supporters and the maggot that didnt award Trac the mark in the first place.

    Can we please change the title of this thread - hopefully Tracc will kick many more goals! ?

    I’m amused that all the media fuss acts like we were behind before that goal was kicked. Even if it was a point the odds would have been with us to win.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
