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.

    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.

    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.

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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
