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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
