NON-MFC: Finals 2022 Week 01


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Both sides played a pressure less final. Melb and Sydney will be a different kettle of fish. However I hope we win tmmrw (obviously) as having beaten the lions twice easily this year can have adverse effect on you in finals. I wanted the tigers to win because of their schizen midfield.

Arc. The ball was clearly over the post

ballsy! 
next time Lynch celebrate like you’ve scored 

Lynch knew he missed and so did his team mates, as not one of them ran to him.

Live it looked a point and then on replay looked like it went over the post.

The arc may have a better angle as they called it pretty quickly.

There was no advantage to take.  He was immediately tackled.as soon as he took the ball...pretty much just after the ump had blown the whistle.  In that cauldron Baker probably didnt evem hear the whistle and by the time he realised it was their free he was back peddling to say "i'll take the free"

Also 3 times the Lions lifted the ball with an open hand to their fellow player and none were called for a throw or incorrect disposal.  Thought the umpiring got better as the game went on but the first half was dodgy as, in particular a number of frees against Brisbane that appeared to be conveniently overlooked.

How do you know he didn’t know it was a free kick and he didn’t hear it? Seemed to me he took the advantage and then was boxed in and tried to change his mind

but I don’t know either so who knows

Yep and over the top of the post equals a point in our game, not the umpire saying i THINK it's a goal so let's give them a goal. If the umpire is unsure ONLY the 3rd umpire in the video should get to make the decision. Why do we have Goal umpires for anyway..... Waving Flags.....

Richmond were never as good as their late season wins suggested. A fixture filled with non-finalists.

Neither of these sides can defend, which meant neither of them were a legitimate flag threat. But because they played each other this week, one of them had to win.

Richmond will be kicking themselves that they couldn't beat an out of form known finals choker missing Rayner, Answerth, Adams, Lyons and McInerney after 3 minutes.

The ARC review probably led to the correct call overall (was probably a behind given everyone's reactions), but once the umpire called it a goal, even if that was the wrong initial call, the video evidence surely wasn't enough to be conclusive.

However, I'm not sure that was a free against Daniher moments earlier for the push in the back. Looked to be a legitimate marking attempt from him.

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.

To be fair it just around the McStay discussion. It's very risky against us but they would be ok going with him against Sydney.

So it's normal procedure after a close Tigers loss for  Jack to ring the AFL or just the coach?

Could have sworn I saw someone after the end, say that was what was going to happen.

People blame the poor maggots for everything.

I don't know for sure that's why i said 'probably'. 

But the ump wouldn't have known for sure either.

Was a split second situation.  Benefit of the doubt surely goes to the initial beneficiary which was the original call and ball is returned back to the Tigers to take their free.

In soccer the ref often waits a few seconds to see how the play unfolds first to see if there is actually any advantage to the free kick recipient (in a team sense) before allowing the game to continue on or calling it back.  I don't see why we can't do the same rather than just saying "advantage" as soon as it looks like a player 'may have' decided to play on.  Even if he does, whether it's an advantage or not should not rest with the player....the ultimate call should remain with the ump IMV.

Might be appropriate for me to ring up SEN tomorrow morning and advise him what an A grade w anker he is.

Brilliant analysis TU.

Yeah, I don’t doubt the result - but the process was a disaster for the AFL. Why have goal umpires at all if a guy without clear vision of it on replay can overturn it?

The vision to overturn was clearly inconclusive - therefore umpires call. 

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

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
