We really do have the worlds hardest game to officiate. Put a cross bar and net around the goals and there's no conjecture. Its in or it isn' t. (I'm not advocating that) We also award scores for misses, we don't mark the ground like a ruler for distance measuring . A "mark" is a "catch" except it can be spilled after a certain time has elapsed etc etc . We all love this game as it is, if we don't want to implement other codes features like the above, we will occasionally have to put up with grey, or even wrong, decisions.

tiger supporter right?

And therein lies the problem. Viewing the same footage, looks clearly over the post to me!

I agree but I think they are bound to make a "soft call" according to the rules

When a player is shooting from so close to goal, the goal umpire has to make a judgement on where best to stand. If the kicker misses either way, there is no way they can be in the right position 100% of the time. Boundary umpires on the behind posts assist, but in the split second from Lynchs boot to it crossing the line the goal umpire simply cant be in the right place all the time, and it becomes a judgement call. Only way to cover both goal posts is to have an umpire under each post.

Agree 100%. Despite multiple lead changes and the closeness, I didn't think it was a great game. Riddled with errors and unaccountable football. It is only being called "one of the great finals" because of those lead changes, controversies etc. I think people will see real finals games tonight and Geel v Pies.

The arrogance of Hardwick methinks

Thats on Hardwick, never sent someone to Neale.

Tigers, I think pretty easily. Don’t like them, but don’t like lions either. So tipping with the head!

I think that' s why many wanted Nate Jones to stay in Perth and maybe get a gig as the sub, he would have got his medal. Anyway, not to be.

Hi all, I have a block of 4 tickets in M11 ( a demons bay) Row E so 5 rows back from the fence. 3 adults, 1 Junior. Anyone interested DM me, excess to my family needs now. Face value or below. Just hope they go to someone who can use them.

I'm in 😀

Members sale stopped at 2pm. Gen Public starts at 3pm

Hey mate did you get tickets in the end?

There are still good tickets. I just keyed in another barcode, M11 Row F and I could get 4 side by side. Doesn' t make much sense..

Yep, Row A with 2 kids and my partner. Bit closer than I’d like but same bay my normal seats are in so can’t complain! And my daughter will be beside herself being front row 😀

yes they came straight away

Got in immediately and secured M50 but front row, which I actually didnt want! Daughter will be stocked though :)

For this game its 10 per barcode. (yes, true) Checked with the club today.

Stocks down: The stat sheet will say Jayden Hunt played a decent game but we're not convinced he's in Melbourne's best 22, or 23. Too many mistakes and could be found out in September when the heat is ratcheted up. Stocks down: The only thing which could derail the Cats' pursuit of that premiership is injuries. Who writes this garbage on ESPN?

I recall us kicking 3 in a minute some time last year….

We were never playing thurs because papley wouldn’t have been available. Just some cynicism, I’d rather Friday anyhow

This. Did it to Max, and again today. [censored] of the highest order and AFL needs to stamp it out. Most other ruckmen in the league put body on the line and contest, this blokes first thought is knee up. He is either gutless or just plain dirty...

Maybe but thats not saying much ....

I did some sums. Hard to predict scores BUT Sydney win 95-65, their % is 128.2 Sydney win 100-60, their % is 129.7 Sydney win 110-60, their % is 130.3 Dees are 130.5 But we can win anywhere :)
