    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?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
