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.

So good to see so many MND beanies in Perth!

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!


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?

That was even my comment?

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

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
