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.

No way was that 15m.

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!

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

Magnificent work of a phone camera. 
 

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
