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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
