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

They paint the goal-line so that back of it lines up with the back of the post including the padding.

Therefore a ball that has entirely crossed the goal-line, has also gone past the back of the post.  To hit the post after that point, the ball needs to be blown back by a gale or it needs to be spinning such that a part of the ball goes back to hit the post e.g. a helicopter kick or "one around the corner".

Same question.  What evidence is there that Petty wants to go home other than anyone's attraction to $$$$$?

Jimmy walking over the mark and the most heartbreaking moment of my life when Buckenara's kick went through the middle.

I then always think that Grinter didn't need to pointlessly push Buckenara in the back.

I'm in two minds about Gutnick.  He did help us out a lot in the aftermath of the merger episode, but then how much did he cost us in the salary cap breaches he sanctioned?

 

I heard that he did his 'nana when he discovered that Schwab hadn't told him about the additional over the counter payments.  I think he self-reported to the AFL.

Do any care to revisit this conundrum ?

Is the window half open or half closed ?

We're but one game in....i know....  but 2 teams showed up.... only one was ready.

We've had as long as any to BE READY.... no ??

It always concerned me we had a somewhat hard first half dozen games and that would set the cast for the season. 

First offering was just this side of putrid tbh.

This is not a knee jerk reaction to a loss. Ive thought for some time we have a mismatch between players/abilities and preferred ( by Goodwin) game style.

We have a lot....a LOT of work to do if we're to be even competitive this season.

The scoreline flattered us in a fashion. Sydney isnt that world conquering...  but easily accounted for us.

Not thinking we need worry about a straight sets exit this year......

I haven't changed my thoughts for us this year.... but am happy to be shown wrong.

Tough year ahead. imho :(

Other's thoughts ?? 

The mortar is starting to dry.

Yeah, It’s not new, we tried that with Diamond Jim Tilbrook , only problem was it was during actual matches for 4 points. He did kick it to the centre after a kick- in though.

measured at 84 metres

A bit light on for key position slash rucks.  I would not be surprised if Fullarton came in for lately withdrawed Spargo.

I missed Mark Williams' departure??  Must have been having a nap.

It's not the media's fault that:

(1) We failed to persuade Jackson to stay;

(2) We failed to make the Grundy experiment work;

(3) One injury is enough to show that we have failed to provide sufficient cover for Max, meaning that even if we make it into September he will be exhausted and almost certainly carrying minor injuries;

(4) Melksham and May provided a Punch and Judy sideshow for the newshounds to blow up into WW3.

(1)  As a son and a parent, I am not surprised that his mum got him to come home.  Unless there is a blow-up, the parent controls well into the off-spring's 20's.

(2) Grundy covered admirably, when Gawn was down mid-season.  We traded him on for a pick and salary relief.  I am unsure that we lost from his presence in 2023.

(3)  True but the young grow into the new roles when given the chance.  There is still a long way to go.

(4)  This was in 2022 without a resurgence.

I had a tear (or more) in my eye when I read his letter.  He is a man who will not lack friends to respect him.  All the best, Angus!

Culture……you’re kidding right. Have you not watched us hitting the fan the last 4 months. 
 

Is the vomit emoji because you haven’t had your eyes open to what’s been going on? How many club forums start with a warning to not discuss 40% of what’s going on? It’s unheard of, we’re claiming new territory atm. But away you go, dump the vomit emoji and go with the “We’re a top 4 club” Hahaha

"How many club forums start with a warning to not discuss 40% of what’s going on? It’s unheard of,"

Concerning 2 out of 46 players.  We still get an elephant stamp for maturity if we keep focus working towards the new seson.

May brawling last year and that's about it.

We knew in October that Oliver and Brayshaw were both massive risks coming into this season, and yet we allowed all of Jordon, Harmes and Dunstan to depart for nothing.

Nah, we need to turn over the list to find players better than depth players. Laurie and Woewodin are good to go.

In 2021 the sub was for injury replacement only.

We didn't suffer any injuries during that game, although Harmes offered to come off to give JJ a run.

Can't blame Simon for that.

Nah, you gotta unbend a bit for your team-mates!

Has Petty ever shown or expressed any motivation to go to Adelaide except perhaps the usual much, much money?

Nobody jumps out except English who will be too expensive. I would prefer draft picks.  Would like replacements for May or a big forward but no-one impressive youngsters.
