Not impossible. Carltank had the chance to do it in 2013!

Good call ?

    Rona just continues to give to Victoria - & interstaters will continue to benefit with home ground advantage.

    That said we're all done with Tioges era - a new one dawns.....

    How was Ryan’s kick to Kennedy judged over 15 m?  - should have been play-on for mine.

    It clearly wasn't. I wouldn't want to buy real estate from those umpires!!

    It went about half as far as the kick marked by Cameron at the end of the Swans - Geelong game which was not paid

    Game No. 5 of this season  decided by bad umpiring in the final minute. It was 8 ms if it was anything.

    You just can't be close near the end of the game to take umpiring out of the equation. double free kicks- again - to eagles. 

    But I thought the tiges looked off esp in forward entries and now don't fear then in September. Dusty trying too hard reminded me of the Dees pre-2021.

    Reiwoldt unsighted when needed. 

    Nic Nat's feeding of his midfield in center  was sublime and Tiges just seemed unable to cope

    Actually there were 3 game results turned by atrocious umpiring decisions this round for a total of 6 so far for the season.
    Adelaide/Saints - Dubious free kick to Thilthorpe  at the death.

    North /GWS - Umpire  failed to pay blatant incorrect disposal by North in front of GWS goal in the dying minutes.
     

    It has been a pattern with Riewoldt this season. In most games starts red hot then disappears.

    I only watched the last five minutes, while I agree about the kick not being 15 metres I also thought Richmond got away with a couple of throws in that period.

    But, but, we’re told umpiring doesn’t impact the outcome.

    Interestingly nobody has focused on the mark itself.....which wasn't in fact a mark!  Whilst he gets his hand under the footy, the belly of the ball is clearly in contact with the grass.  Not that I'm unhappy with the result!

    If the umps called that play on they would be copping flak similar to the Cameron mark. You can see where it was kicked and marked below.

    Must say I thought that at first but I think he had his forearm between the ball and the ground. It was certainly close

    maybe not, but that view shows it was a lot closer to 15m than the view seemed to show on tv

    there were longer ones called play on during the game

    Have always wondered about people who spend so much of their time videoing the game.

    Went to the Soccer World cup in Russia in 2018. People would video games from start to finish.

    Sure a minute here and there but whole matches.

    Whoever would watch them?

    Agred they threw it a few times IMO.  But the Kennedy mark was 60 ish seconds to go and a game changing opportunity.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
