According to David King and the boys:

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

All they’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. 

    100% ... home town call?

    Watching Riewoldt saying ‘that wasn’t a point’ 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?  Eg;  a few infra red beams (four?) running in line with the post pointing to the sky.  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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
