    Yes it can as part of the post is behind the goal line.  The goal line runs through the middle of the post yes?

    In a word, no.

    This topic is all over the internet with people bringing up different scenarios involving wind, spin, bounce, padding, post, flags and line.
    But in all of the images I’ve found of AFL goal lines, the back of the goal line is in line with the back of the post. (Not so on junior footy grounds.) Although someone might argue parallax error, a millimeter of paint or padding to promote their own contrary view.

    Just finished watching the replay.

    Can someone tell me if that Fritsch last kick was really not a goal?

    They never show if the ball goes through the goal line before hitting the post on the opposite side of goal.

    It can’t have gone entirely past the goal line if it hits anywhere on the post. It was a behind.

    did anyone else think that the briefest review i can remember with not multiple angles etc of BBBs goal was incorrect.

    The whole ball had passed behind the goal post but not past the padding on the goal post. I think the goal line is only as thick as the post not the padding, If im correct the whole ball was over the line.

    Im giving Bennie another goal

    Nope, the padding is counted as the post.

    And the few times we do switch from the full back line, the second and third overlap players aren’t there for it to succeed, instead the first receiver on half back stops and has to identify a target as the opposition floods back. We don’t seem to have a set play for it, where a number of players would know to just run to space as soon as they see the first move. 

    When I played in the Amateurs, we had a coach who continually reminded us... “It’s a running game!”

    It was then, and it’s even more-so now. Unfortunately our boys don’t yet get it.

    Time in Forward Half

    Quarter For Against
    1 48% 52%
    2 55% 45%
    3 39% 61%
    4 40% 60%
    Match 48% 52%

    I’m having trouble understanding how those Quarterly numbers could result in the Match numbers.
