Yes it was lol Can clearly see his fingers moved.

Look at the side view. His hand was nowhere near it, so what fingers moving are you talking about?

Can’t believe they didn’t take a bit extra time on the score review

They skipped that camera angle on the side very, very quickly.

Arc an absolute shambles, how can a billion, billion dollar industry not have zoom in technology, clearer angles to acknowledge it wasn't touched.

I'm angry now, but if that was a final god knows what people would do if that evidence came up on the big screen.

The Petracca non-goal is a really interesting one IMO.

Marchbank immediately claimed he’d touched it (yes he could he lying but looked to me like it was genuine because of how quickly he did it)

One angle looks like his fingers move.

Another angle looks like he’s nowhere near it.

Ultimately the soft call killed us.

Not sure how they missed that, pretty clearly took him below the knee and it wasn’t a smother. Annoying.

Especially when they paid the same against Clarry - which was a 50-50 call at best - minutes earlier

Exactly, but why barely showed that angle compared to the others right? I had it on mute and I felt like I was being biased or going crazy. There was one clear angle and the other two were inconclusive.

Brutal game. Insane intensity. Forget top two, that was the type of footy we need to be playing. That'll get us to a prelim (anything can happen from there). Undone by a few lucky bounces, kicks that fell short and a damn good midfielder in Cripps. Nothing to be ashamed of here, let's replay it in September.
 

No we were shocking!

So was it touched or are we all just being Melb fans?

I mean the entire internet is saying it wasn’t touched. Including every opposition fan that doesn’t barrack for Carlton so 🤷‍♀️

Also how is JVR getting his legs taken out for no free.

Their massive sense of entitlement - this separates them from the filth. 

For different reasons I cannot separate them. 
I have not eaten in Lygon Street for Decades 

You will never do away with human error. Given that, adding technology to the mix is just asking for trouble.

Get rid of the ARC. What good has it done for footy? None.


Wow what a pressurised game, just made the G look small. Did not help that we let them waltz out of the centre for the first 2 goals, we had our chances to win it in the last, but didn't get the chocolates. So the equation for me is 5 wins in a row please and I will be very happy.

Good side Carlton. Was surprised with the cockiness of some on here during the week that we'd win easily.

They were missing Cerra Walsh McGovern which is impressive in itself. They'll do some damage come September. They're a genuine top 4 contender in my eyes.

I think we'll be fine. There is some positives to take out of this game imo and I think a loss like this actually keeps us back on edge. 

On the negatives.

Grundy forward experiment is officially done. It simply doesn't work and we're playing a man down when he's down there. Slow, unfit and brought in off the back off poor form at VFL level. Goody has done a lot right in the last month, but he made a mistake bringing him in tonight.

This could mean we may have to rush Tom McDonald in next week..

I love Petracca, but his last quarter efforts in the opening 5 minutes on Cripps was seriously lazy. Allowed him to Waltz out of stoppage far too easily and create score involvements for the first 2 goals that they kicked. He simply had to just lock him down harder and not allow him easy space.

Our forward line was lacking big time. It's time to keep Joel Smith permanently there because the Petty out was significant tonight.

No more James Jordon thanks. 

Brayshaw was absolutely huge for us! BOG by a mile in my books. Keep him in there for the rest of the year.

All in all, disappointing to lose, but definitely not losing the faith. Win the next 2 and we can set ourselves up well come September.

The side on camera shot clearly showed a decent gap between his hand and the ball? But they only played that about once compared to the other angles? Am I being biased or did anyone else see that shown once and then they went back to the two which I agree were inconclusive….

Correct a mundo and they skipped that vision very, very quickly.

I know the goal line decisions going to be the main talking point but really we have so many problems that need addressing before worrying about that. 
 

Selection on a greasy/wet night was not great.

Still love bomving it long to outnumbered or out sized contests.

Players don’t shepherd for each other, don’t do the hard yards for each other.

Max whinges more than the whole of England. Also flops around like a fish out of water.

Salem has some of the worst disposals I’ve seen in a long time. He was once elite at hitting a target now he is elite at panicking and butchering the ball.

As bizarre as it sounds Petty out might cost us any chance. 

He really should have drilled that shot. We had multiple chances to win it. 
 

Touched or not. The Ark is a half measure until it can be reliable enough to make a call. 
 

The goal umpire shouldn’t guess if he isn’t 100% sure. Make the Arc make the call.


What is wrong with the AFL's video review system, the quality of the video for replay is pathetic.  No clarity, and needs to have a higher framerate for video capture. Melbourne were not the better team on the night, but we could have pinched that game, and we were let down by technology.

Kinda like us against cats last round of 21

You gotta be kidding with this comparison. We came from 42 points down to win the minor premiership. [censored] off with this comparison! 

Cripps teared the 4th qtr apart, he won them the game in the first 5 minutes of the 4th qtr.  why was t Petracca and Kozzie out in the ball in the 4th?

Carlton deserved the win, the were first at the ball, to have Paddy Dow dominate in the middle is a wake up call to our midfield.

The human asked to adjudicate it in the moment said it was a behind, and that's the end of it for me.

Seasons worst game for Max and Grundy was awful. Salem needs a rocket and a spell at Casey. Thank God for Gus and Jack, their intensity is at another level. Clarrie will be better for the run. Maggots do what maggots do - screw us over.

Why cant the soft call be " I don't know" ? Takes out the soft call and makes the propeller heads do their job

 

The goal ump was obviously influenced by Marchbank’s insistence. He was guessing. AFL umpiring remains pure amateur-ville. It demeans every other aspect of the game.

No idea what you were looking at Dazzle. One angle showed the ball miss his hand by a fair way.

And one angle showed his fingers clearly bent.

Seriously if this was May touching this you'd all be lauding what a herculean effort it was.

Clarry on the bench to start the last quarter cost us that game. So stupid.

Fair enough. 

At the end of the day though if the soft call is touched we're stuffed. I didn't see the mystery angle and I've seen it at the game and must have missed it on Kayo just now due to anger.

  • 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.

    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?
