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

Just imagine if we actually had an ethical media that relied on honesty and .......god forbid ........... facts

outrageous comment by you, ethan. you should be ashamed, kane was an ornament of the game and you treat him like this!

 

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. 

still disappointed no-one in the media (that i know of) has discussed the mark not being paid nor the free kick

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.

Love the mental picture of this. Beautiful work. Get it done I say!?

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. 

From where i was sitting it looked like it was touched to me too, but i was scratching my a##, and picking my nose, so who gives a sh@@...

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: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
