According to David King and the boys:

Melbourne V Brisbane:ย 9 September 2022 - 7:50pm. MCG.

All theyโ€™re talking about is how Brisbane will go against Gawn and Jackson without a recognised ruckman.

Sounds wrong for two reasons:

  1. We haven't lost yet
  2. Don't they have Darcy Fort they can just bring in as a ruckman?

The vision to overturn was clearly inconclusive - therefore umpires call.ย 

100% ... home town call?

Watching Riewoldt saying โ€˜that wasnโ€™t a pointโ€™ to the umpire after the final siren - priceless

Maybe if the AFL invested in the technology and spent a bit less on biscuits for the Commission we wouldn't be in this mess.

The only thing that was clear was Lynch's reaction.

There's no way the vision 'clearly' showed it as going 'over the post'.

What a terrible way to pretty much end a team's season.

Surely the AFL could solve this with technology?ย  Eg;ย  a few infra red beams (four?) running in line with the post pointing to the sky.ย  Any part of the ball breaks the beam (above the post) it counts as a behind.

This can only work if the AFL can get sponsor logos on to the beams somehow.

Maybe death lasers that explode the ball if it's touched.

Seriously though. It's a good idea.

Not one mention that it could be Sydney. Infuriating

My 3310 lasted me 7 years until I finally dropped it one time too many and it smashed into a thousand pieces.

But has the battery died yet? I swear I only charged it once a week. My iPhone is lucky to last 2 hours.ย

Good question! I'm tipping that battery would still have life!

If the umpire is Unsure then why does he get a call at all.ย 

It's a mess. The video replay angles simply don't and can't cover ALL the possible angles to be certain if its a goal or a behind. As we have seen so often this makes a decision for the 3rd umpire impossible and inconclusive. In this case the decision is defaulted to the unsure umpires first decision. Like I said, its a mess. What's the solution? Lasers? Magnets? Barcodes? Or just scrap the 3rd umpire altogether?

Great result for us tonight. Much prefer playing Lions at the MCG than the Tigers should we lose tomorrow night.

Whoever won tonight is zero chance at the flag anyway. Neither team can defend. That match was exciting to watch, but was amateur standard with horrific structures and some serious plodders out there.

Good 4k Cameras would show infinite angles when placed correctlyย 

That was quite pleasing, all the media pumping tigers up all week, saying a flag is possible. What have they got to say now, lost to a lions side playing very average football.ย

The only mess is that the ARC consistently pull decisions out of their proverbial. This should have been the umpire's call.

I think the ARC should be abolished because sport should be a human endeavour, but accepting there must be some sort of review system then the review system must acquiesce to the human umpire when there isn't definitive evidence.

Why do the commentators keep calling Maurice Rioli Maurice Jnr.

There was only one Maurice playing! Maurice Snr wasn't playing ... he's dead!ย

Keep it simple. Abolish the 3rd umpire. Place a goal umpire on each goal post. Maybe that would be better?

It's a cultural respect thing re the passing of M.R. Snr., WCFC had a press release saying that he should be referred to as such.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
