I could see the fingers go back very easily on my 60inch LED. I thought it was a goal too at first, but those side-on replays clearly showed the fingers go back. Correct decision was made.

I know "Squibbs" is a borderline meme on BF but ffs, he crouches in the goalsquare and limply puts his arm out to grab the ball.

I'm filthy at him and I hate Carlton. Just pathetic. Has all the tools to dominate the AFL but just doesn't work hard enough, always ends the game looking like he just pulled his guernsey on and never runs up a sweat. His effort is implicitly condoned because Ratten won't drop him.

Agreed, unless the AFL are prepared to spend some money and get it right, then eff it off. IMHO, Tiges were stiff, should have gone back to the goal umpires call. I hope it is not a goal the difference at the end.
Far more umpires work two jobs then players. I know which have been poorer so far tonight.
Can channel 7 fire Darcy and Brian Taylor already. Watching the second half on mute. FFS.

Go Blues.
A few things about it could/need to be refined maybe but it should stay.. Been a lot of decisions which have been fixed this year and some important ones.. I couldn't believe one game when a goal umpire had about 3 calls corrected in one quarter.. Few weeks ago Dahlhaus hit the post clearly and they fixed up the call.. There's been plenty..
Adelaide may have been a few hundred thousand dollars poorer if the ball that hit the post in the nab cup game against port wasn't reviewed..

Do you have any idea how much hotspot would cost to implement? Lets not forget you effectively need multiple cameras at every venue in the country, and they would need to be purchased rather than hired as they are for cricket. Would you actually see anything from a finger touching the ball?
Hotspot is perfect for cricket, but its totally unworkable for AFL.

It's all part of the plan. They still have the next 5 years to win 3 flags that Benny Gale predicted.
TBH I wouldnt mind if we dropped him. But obviously because of injuries we cant.He is soft alot of the time yes, but I just think that on the goal line was a brain fade. Its not like he was looking at someone and shat him self, it was just a major brain fade. Not soft.
He squibbed it, turned his body to avoid taking a hit.
Should of just kicked it off the ground thru for a point.

Go Blues.
The guy who invented hot spot was on EMT and said it was very cost affective he did not say a price.
Kicking in danger
Yeah wasn't a squib as such, just no intensity and feel for the situation that he was a metre out from opposition goal and players will be coming - smash through the ball.. People say things like that cos he plays like 'meh'..

FFS ! I am convinced after this week and last week that the AFL want Carlton in the finals
Honestly, with the goals they pulled out of their Arse last week, (And many were pure arse believe me )
And tonight of course, yet again scoring Flukey, Arsey Goals and getting all the lucky bounces as per usual , Finally, to go along with that , at least 5 totally disgraceful decisions favouring Carlton yet again, i am convinced that the Navy Blues are the luckiest bunch of pricks ever to play AFL / VFL , and undeservedly so i might add !
Richmond kicked 0.5 in that quarter, do they want Carlton in the finals too?
Didn't do the "team thing" by making sure he was between the ball & the Tiges player, that is squibbing in my book !!
