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.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
