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 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.

Not one mention that it could be Sydney. Infuriating

My 3310 lasted me 7 years until I finally dropped it one time too many and it smashed into a thousand pieces.

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.

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.

They will now. A final has finished in controversy

Good 4k Cameras would show infinite angles when placed correctly

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.

Keep it simple. Abolish the 3rd umpire. Place a goal umpire on each goal post. Maybe that would be better?

Why do the commentators keep calling Maurice Rioli Maurice Jnr.

There was only one Maurice playing! Maurice Snr wasn't playing ... he's dead! 

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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 first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    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.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    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.
