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.

    • 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.
