It’s not rocket science, just attach a laser beam to the posts.

The Tigers will get over it, mind you that was not a 50 to Gary Buckenara.

I am just gutted both teams couldn't be eliminated.

It only requires a small cheap wifi camera on the top of each post pointing up with a wire directly over.   When the ball hits the side of the post, it is good enough to see if the rotation of the ball is affected.  I.e. simple and peanuts.

Everyone talking about the ump decision.  What about how crap that kick was from 5m out.  

 

Back myself on that with my left. 

 

Lynch should be more under the but microscope. Choked it big time

Gawn had his goal disallowed on the Grand Final last year and was adamant it was a goal. Fan footage from behind the goal appears to confirm that analysis. Yet the Ump called it a point and it wasn't even reviewed. Nor did the AFL discuss how to stop it happening in future.

It was a vital time in the game but in the end didn't matter. Nonetheless the AFL have now had two clear stuff ups.

 

FFS it cant be that hard. Lidar on top of the goal posts or hawk eye. Its not expensive tech.

They probably did review it but like last night they didn't have the camera angles or the technology to reverse it.

Had they had access to the fans view the it most certainly would have been called a goal but unfortunately there are no cameras situated behind the goals and on all angles.

This in the Herald Sun today:

 

Last year, the Demons pulverised a flu-ridden Geelong in the preliminary final, 

 

Can you believe how much this cr*p gets repeated so that it is now fact. Believe that all you want Chris Scott

I read that an if it is true it's the clubs fault. Working overtime to get Covid out and you let the flu in.

A pity really, would have been even more fun if it was a goal, a la Wayne Harmes tap - #TigerTime

If that diagram was drawn using actual data, known positions of cameras etc, I'd have some faith in it. Looks like a cartoon to me attempting to prove a whatever the artist intended.

Anyway, Lynch must be very happy the attention is not on his crappy kick.

I thought it was gastro?

Nah, it was Ebola. 

Given the predicament we find ourselves in I would prefer the filth to beat the Bacillary Angiomatosis because if they win and we somehow win next week they will be an easier opponent in the prelim than the Corio moggies.

I hate both of these teams.


We have a big whiff of straight sets I reckon. Rapidly losing interest in all other games as a result. 

What's really sad is Melbourne supporters were ready to believe again last night - 78k a huge turnout. The disappointment on everyone's faces, cost of attending finals and our poor form at the G will likely restrict our attendance to 50k max next week. 

Even after a premiership, our supporter base are incredibly fragile because we didn't get to see it in person. 

Curtains I'm afraid.

See I want Geelong to win today because then at least Collingwood would have to maybe play Sydney in an away prelim if they get that far.

We get through Brisbane I'd love to knock the cats out of a prelim and get another crack at Sydney. 

Anyway it will be interesting 

One of Geelong or Collingwood will be in the same " maybe even worse" position than us. Take it that we win next week not sure which one I would want to play next. 

I'm looking forward to tonight's game. It wouldn't bother me at all if freo win. But I'm thinking if Collingwood lose who could knock them out. dogs or dockers at the G. Then I'm thinking the dogs. 


I hope the Cats and pies knock lumps out of each other and a close heart breaking loss for one of them, i don;t care which one

A win against Brisbane at the MCG next Friday and then a PF against the Pies is not a daunting prospect

Geelong are a better team than Collingwood but a win isn't guaranteed

If the Pies are within striking distance at 3/4 time they can win as they are a very good 4th quarter team.

yep, indeed that was the story at the time, but they dont let facts get in the way of a good story

Can’t be bothered watching the games today 

still too flat from last night 


I'll be watching this game. seeing one of Geelong or the pies lose will help cheer me up

Speak for yourself 

Any consolation for last night is one of the other top 4 teams will feel just as [censored] as we are right now. 
 

Sorrow loves company :)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
