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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
