    You would've thought at least someone (central ump, boundary ump, goal ump) would say let's just check if the ball was out first. To be fair if it's called a goal I'm not even sure you can definitively say it's out, remember it only needs to be the smallest part of the ball.

    I actually think Kozzie's is the best this week, not only the skill but the importance of the goal. Turned the game.

    How is he a cheat? The boundary umpire messed up; at normal speed, the player wouldn’t have even noticed the ball was out as he’s concentrating on getting the ball between the goal posts ... I somehow doubt you’d be saying cheat if it was one of our players.

    Can't stop watching Kozzie's goal. Mesmerising, and the footwork is almost impossible to break down in full speed. Reminds me of a surfer entering a barrel. They disappear for a second, emerge, tack, and then disappear again, before magically coming out the other side. Sublime stuff. 

    Edit: plus sharks.

    I thought every goal was automatically reviewed by the ARC?  Massive fail on this one.

    Agreed. That would have happened so fast and Gibbon's focus would probably have just been on the ball.

    Sublime it was!

    I suspect the ARC isn't empowered to check whether the boundary umpire made the right decision.

    Just saying based on that still, the ball was probably further out than what it looked. Can the visible umpire call it out ? I don't know.

    I just watched Pickett's goal in slow-mo a couple of times, and it's even more impressive than I thought - super quick little steps initially to throw off the Saint in his face and the one on his tail. Hope I'm watching him kick goals for the Dees for the next 10+ years.

    Congratulations to Kozzie!!!

    As to the Carlton goal; to be out, every bit of the ball should be outside the outside edge of the line. 
    I think that means that, looking from directly above, if the inside millimetre of the ball is above the outside millimetre of the line, then that ball is still in.     As much as I'd like it to be clearly out, IMHO from that photo it could possibly be either way?

    I swear Kozzie actually disappears for a split second here...

    I think his game was even more impressive considering the rough start he's had this year.

    To lose his mum at age 19 would be incredibly tough. He went home and still kept doing the work while away from the club.

    He seemed to run out the game really well. I am sure his family are super proud of him.

    I'm with you Rogue, really excited to be able to watch him every week.

    With goals like that no wonder the headline from the Round 2 ‘Nine things we learned’ read 

    The Kozzie Show is must-watch TV

    No pressure Kozzie, just go out there and keep having fun.

    Did Kozzie win? I can’t see any announcement.

    Yes, he won Round 2. He is now one of the nominees to win the whole thing. The only other Dees player to ever win the whole comp was the Wiz back in 1998 with this beautiful torp on the run:

    Does that count as 3 score involvements on the stat sheet?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
